Additional Information
! To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft
cloth outward from the center.
! Condensation may temporarily impair the
players performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about one hour. Also, wipe any dump discs with a soft cloth.
! Playback of discs may not be possible be-
cause of disc characteristics, disc format, recorded application, playback environ­ment, storage conditions and so on.
! Text information may not be correctly dis-
played depending on the recorded environ­ment.
! Road shocks may interrupt disc playback. ! Read the precautions with discs before
using them.
Dual Discs
! Dual Discs are two-sided discs that have a
recordable CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for video on the other.
! Since the CD side of Dual Discs is not phy-
sically compatible with the general CD standard, it may not be possible to play the CD side with this unit.
! Frequent loading and ejecting of a Dual
Disc may result in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can lead to playback pro­blems on this unit. In some cases, a Dual Disc may become stuck in the disc loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recommend you refrain from using Dual Disc with this unit.
! Please refer to the information from the
disc manufacturer for more detailed infor­mation about Dual Discs.
WMA, MP3 and WAV files
! Depending on the version of Windows
Media Player used to encode WMA files, album names and other text information may not be correctly displayed.
! There may be a slight delay when starting
playback of WMA files encoded with image
data. ! ISO 9660 Level 1 and 2 compliant. Romeo
and Joliet file systems are both compatible
with this player.
! Multi-session playback is possible. ! WMA/MP3/WAV files are not compatible
with packet write data transfer. ! Only 64 characters from the beginning can
be displayed as a file name (including the
extension such as .wma, .mp3 or .wav) or a
folder name. ! Folder selection sequence or other opera-
tion may be altered depending on the en-
coding or writing software. ! Regardless of the length of blank section
between the songs of original recording,
WMA/MP3/WAV discs will play with a short
pause between songs. ! File extensions such as .wma, .mp3 or .wav
must be used properly.
Example of a hierarchy
: Folder
: File
3 4
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
! This unit assigns folder numbers. The user
cannot assign folder numbers. ! Folder hierarchy is allowed up to eight tiers.
However, practical hierarchy of folder is
less than two tiers. ! Up to 99 folders on a disc can be played
back.
