Listening caution (For Canada)

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without

Getting started

affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably

and clearly, and without distortion.

Caution for AC Mains Lead

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Tips for making WMA/MP3 discs

• Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).

• If you have recorded MP3/WMA on the same disc as CD-DA, only the format recorded in the first session can be played.

• This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

• If there is a large amount of JPEG data etc. within a WMA/MP3 file, sound may not be output and play may not be possible.

• The unit can play a maximum of 400 albums and 999 tracks. If there are multiple folders with many levels, there may be files and folders that cannot be recognized.

• This unit is compatible with Windows Media Audio 9 (WMA9), however not compatible with WMA9 Professional/Lossless/Voice and MBR*. *Multiple Bit Rate: A file that contains the same content encoded at several different bit rates.

• Noise may occur when playing WMA files.

• You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.

• This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.

• This unit is not compatible with packet-write format.

• If you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take

some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed time will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.

Naming folders and files

At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names with 3-digit numbers in the order you want to play them (this may not work at times). Files must have the extension: “.WMA” or “.wma” “.MP3” or “.mp3”

Example:

root

001 group

003 group

001 track.mp3 002 track.mp3 003 track.mp3

002 group

001 track.mp3 002 track.mp3 003 track.mp3 004 track.mp3

001 track.mp3 002 track.mp3 003 track.mp3
