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 and VBR files.

● During VBR file playback, time counter in the display

may differ from its actual playback time.

● Bitrate which is supported by MP3 is 32 ~ 320 kbps.

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.

● “MP3” and “WMA” indicator will light up after the unit

reads information on an MP3 or WMA disc.

● Bitrate which is supported by WMA is 64 ~ 160 kbps.

diameter plug and impedance between 16 and 50
ohms. The recommended impedance is 32 ohms.

■ 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 again, 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 OPEN/CLOSE button, press

the ON/STAND-BY button until “RESET” appears.

Caution:

This operation will erase all data stored in memory
including clock, timer settings, tuner preset, and CD
programme.

■ 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 centre, along the
radius.

NO YES

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.

● Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause

malfunctions.
