!Read the precautions with discs and player on page 38.

!When playing discs with WMA/MP3/WAV files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types can be played only by switching mode between WMA/MP3/WAV and CD-DA with BAND.

!If you have switched between playback of WMA/MP3/WAV files and audio data (CD-DA), playback starts at the first track on the disc.

!The built-in CD player can play back a WMA/ MP3/WAV file recorded on CD-ROM. (Refer to page 39 for files that can be played back.)

!There is sometimes a delay between starting up disc playback and the sound being issued. When being read, FRMTREAD is displayed.

!Playback is carried out in order of file number. Folders are skipped if they contain no files. (If folder 01 (ROOT) contains no files, playback commences with folder 02.)

!When playing back files recorded as VBR (variable bit rate) files, the play time will not be correctly displayed if fast forward or reverse operations are used.

!There is no sound on fast forward or reverse.

!If an error message such as ERROR-11 is displayed, refer to Understanding built-in CD player error messages on page 38.

!When a WMA/MP3/WAV disc is inserted, text information currently selected on Displaying text information on WMA/MP3/WAV disc on
