Compact discs
Use only Digital Audio CDs which have the symbol.
Never write on a CD or attach any sticker to the CD. Always hold the CD
at the edge and store it in its box after use with the label facing up.
To remove dust and dirt, breathe on the CD and wipe it with a soft, lint free
cloth in a straight line from the centre towards the edge.
Cleaning agents may damage the CD.
Do not expose the CD to rain, moisture, sand or to excessive heat. (e.g
from heating equipment or in motor cars parked in the sun).
CD-R/CD-RW discs
Your CRD-40 can playback CD-DA format audio CD-R/CD-RW discs that
have been fi nalised* upon completion of recording.
Your CRD-40 may fail to playback some CD-R/CD-RW discs due to poor
recording and wide variation in quality of the CD-R/CD-RW disc.
*Finalising enables a CD-R/CD-RW disc to playback on audio players
such as your CRD-40.
Page 20
19
MP3 / WMA CD Mode
The CRD-40 is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3/WMA
fi les.
In MP3 / WMA mode the terms "album" and "fi le" are very important. "Album" corresponds to a folder on a PC, "File " to a PC or a CD -DA track.
The device reads MP3 fi les with a maximum of 255 fi les per album. An
MP3 CD may not contain more than 512 fi les or albums in total. MP3 fi les
must be created with an audio sample rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for
fi les created from CD audio content).
When burning CD-R and CD-RWs with audio fi les, various problems may
arise which could lead to interference in playback. This can be caused
by faulty software or hardware settings or by the CD being used. Should
such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD burner or
software manufacturer or look for relevant information, for example on the
internet. When you are making audio CDs, observe all legal guidelines
and ensure that the copyright of third parties is not infringed.
