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 MPEG 1 Layer 3, MPEG 2 Layer 3, and

●

VBR files.
During VBR file playback, time counter in the display may differ

●

from its actual playback time.

WMA:
WMA 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.

Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking
can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow
the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collec­tion and player.

Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label

●

side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive

●

moisture.
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on

●

the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does
not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out
from the centre, along the radius.

Maintenance

■

Cleaning the tape-handling parts

Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and

●

tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit

●

which contains high voltages.

netised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once eve­ry 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape
head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions care­fully before use.

■

Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap
solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.).

It may damage the cabinet finish.
Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause
