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 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.

 Before transporting the unit

Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.

 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 center, along the radius.
