What is MP3?

MP3 means MPEG1 Layer 3, the global standard for audio signal compression technology.
It uses digital compression technology to compress original sound data by up to 12 times
without sound quality degradation.

What is WMA?

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a file format, created by Microsoft, that offers a higher
compression rate and just as good sound quality as MP3.
Typical MP3 files are about one-tenth the size of the original, whereas WMAfiles are
about half the size of standard MP3.

VEOS function

The VEOS function ensures high
resistance to shock or vibration so
that the sound signal remains
undisturbed.

Precautions when using compact discs

Troubleshooting Guide

Looking after your CDs

Wash the disc with a neutral detergent diluted in water, and
then wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center of the
disc to the outside.

Handling your CDs

Carefully pick up the disc by its edge without
touching the disc’s surface.

Do not attach stickers to the
signal surface (the side with
shiny, rainbow colors).

Do not write on the labeled (printed) side with a
ballpoint pen or a pencil.

Do not clean your CDs with
record spray or anti-static.
Do not use volatile chemicals
such as benzene or thinners.

Problem Check

● Did you insert the battery with the correct

polarity?

Unit has no power.

Playback does not
function.

Earphones don’t work.

A sound or track is
skipped.

Some of the MP3(WMA) files
on a CD are not recognized.

● Are the batteries drained?

● Is the AC adaptor connected correctly?

● Is the door open?

● Is the disc inserted correctly?

● Is the disc damaged or deformed?

● Has the unit been locked with the HOLD switch?

● Has the unit been moved from a cold place to a

hot place?
Abrupt change of temperature may cause
condensation to form on the lens. Keep your CD
Player in a warm place until the condensation
on the lens has disappeared.

● Is the volume control on the unit at the minimum

setting?

● Was the unit jolted or knocked?

● Is there dust, fingerprints or scratches on the
