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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (For Canada)
Safety precautions
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit.
Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable
safety instructions listed below. Keep these operating
instructions handy for future reference.
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions
can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the
unit’s service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Volt ag e
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and
cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged.
Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock. Do not
pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains
lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the power
supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable
gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted,
indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not
covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and
contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or
damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or
reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if
it is not to be used for a long time.
Getting started
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.

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

002 track.mp3
003 track.mp3
