Chapter 6:

Disc playback

This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD
format and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but cannot
record on them. Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not
be playable due to the state of the disc or the device that was
used for recording.

MP3:

MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands
for MPEG Audio Layer 3. MP3 is a type of audio code which is
processed by significant compression from the original audio
source with very little loss in sound quality.

• This system supports MP EG-1/2 Audio Layer 3 (Sampling
rates: 8 kHz to 48 kHz; Bit rates: 64 kbps to 384 kbps).

• During VBR file playback, time counter in the display
may differ from its actual playback time.

WMA:

WMA (Windows Media Audio) files are Advanced System
Format files that include audio files which are compressed
with Windows Media Audio codec. WMA is developed by
Microsoft as an audio format file for Windows Media Player.

• This system supports WMA (Sampling rates: 32 kHz/44.1
kHz/48 kHz; Bit rates: 64 kbps to 320 kbps).

• During VBR file playback, time counter in the display
may differ from its actual playback time.

About downloading MP3/WMA

There are many music sites on the internet that you can
download MP3/WMA music files. Follow the instructions
from the website on how to download the music files. You can
then play back these downloaded music files by burning them
to a CD-R/RW disc.

• Your downloaded song/files are for personal use only.
Any other usage of the song without owner’s permission,
is against the law.

About folder playback order

If MP3/WMA files are recorded in several folders, a folder
number will be set to each folder automatically.

These folders can be selected by the FOLDER on the remote
control. If there is no supported file formats inside the
selected folder, the folder is skipped and the next folder will be
selected.

Example: How to set folder number if MP3/WMA format files
are recorded as below figure.

1 ROOT folder is set as folder 1.

2 As for folders inside ROOT folder (Folder A
and Folder B), the folder which is recorded
earlier on the disc will be set as folder 2 and
folder 3.

3 As for folder inside Folder A (Folder C and
Folder D), the folder which is recorded earlier on
the disc will be set as folder 4 and folder 5.

4 Folder E that is inside Folder D will be set as
folder 6.

• The folder and file order information which is recorded
on the disc depends on the writing software. There
maybe possibilities that this unit will playback the files
not according to our expected playback order.

• From a disc with MP3/WMA files up to 255 folders and
999 files (including non playable files) can be read.

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM
radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it’s convenient
to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall
whenever you want to listen to that station (Preset tuning).
This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit
can memorize up to 45 stations.

Using the Auto Station program
Memory (ASPM)

Note

• If the same station is broadcasting on different
frequencies, the strongest frequency will be stored in
memory.

• Any station which has the same frequency as the one
stored in memory will not be stored.

• If 30 stations have already been stored in memory, the
scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM
operation, erase the preset memory.

• If no station have been stored in memory, “END” will
appear for about 4 seconds.

• If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not
be stored in memory.

• The same station name can be stored in different
channels.

• In a certain area or during certain time periods, the
station names may temporarily be different.

Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does
not mean that the unit is faulty:

• “PS”, “No PS” and a station name appear alternately,
and properly.

• If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a
station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function
may not work properly.

• When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too
weak, information like the station name may not be
displayed.

• “No PS”, “No PYT” or “No RT” will flash for about 5
seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for radio text:

• The first 8 characters of the radio text will appear and
then they will scroll across the display.

• If you tune in to an RDS station which is not
broadcasting any radio text, “No RT” will be displayed
when you switch to the radio text position.

• Whilst radio text data is received or when the text
contents change, “RT” will be displayed.
