To play back MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) file
There are many music sites on the internet that you can download
MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files. Follow the
instructions from the website on how to download from the music

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 button on the remote

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.
The folder and file order information which is recorded on the disc
depends on the writing software. There may be possibilities that
this unit will play back the files not according to our expected
playback order.
For CD MP3/WMA, 512 numbers of folders and files inclusives of
the folders with non playable files can be read.
Folder mode on/off can be operated by the FOLDER button on the
remote control. Files that are played when folder mode is set to the
on position, may differ from those played back when folder mode is
turned off.
Folder Mode Off case:
All the files starting from the selected file will be played back. If file 3
inside Folder C is selected, all the files starting from file 3 will be
played back until file 10 of Folder E.
Folder Mode On case:

Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD
pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens,
leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is
possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter
with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
If problem occurs
When this product is subjected to strong external interference
(mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply
voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may
malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.
2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and
plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.
Note:
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by
resetting it.
Factory reset, clearing all memory
1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by
mode.
2 Whilst pressing down the button, press the ON/STAND-BY
button until “CLR ALL” appears.
3 Can be operate on the main unit only.
Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock,
timer settings, tuner preset, and CD programme.
Before transporting the unit
Remove the USB memory device and the disc from the unit. Then,
set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with USB
memory device left docked might damage both the unit and the USB
memory device.
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 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
malfunctions.
Cleaning the CD pickup lens
Poor performance during CD playback (skipping or jumping) can be
caused by a dirty or contaminated CD laser pick up lens. If this
happens then the use of a commercially available CD lens cleaning
discs may restore normal operation. Contact your supplier or local
CD software dealer to obtain CD lens cleaning discs. Ensure all
included instructions/documentation are carefully followed.
