Listening to a disc
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 equipment used for recording.
CD:
The CD indicator will light up when a normal CD is loaded.
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.
" The MP3 track indicator will light up when an MP3 track is read.
" 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:
Disc Playback
WMA files are ASF (Advanced Systems Format) audio files which
are compressed with Windows Media Audio codec. WMA is developed by Microsoft as an audio format file for Windows Media Player.
" The WMA track indicator will light up when a WMA track is read.

(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.

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
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 disc collection and
player.
" Do not wr ite 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 discs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on
the discs can cause noise or mistracking. If a disc is dirty or does
not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out
from the center, along the radius.
