Listening to a CD or MP3/WMA 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 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.
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.

MP3/WMA folder mode (only for MP3/WMA files)
To playback 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 the music files.
You can then playback these downloaded music files by burning
them to a CD-R/RW disc or by connecting a USB Memory Player
device.
Your downloaded song/files are for personal use only. Any other
usage of the song without owner’s permission, is against the law.
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
control. If there is no supported file formats inside the selected folder,
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.
1. ROOT folder is set as folder 1.
2. As for folders inside ROOT folder (Folder A and Folder B), the
folder which is recorded earlier on the disc will be set as folder 2.
3. As for folder inside Folder A (Folder C and Folder D), the folder
which is recorded earlier on the disc will be set as folder 3.
4. Because there is no folder in Folder C, Folder D will be set as
folder 4.
5. Folder E that is inside Folder D will be set as folder 5.
6. Folder B inside ROOT folder will be set as folder 6.
* The folder and file order information which is recorded on the disc
depends on the writing software. There maybe possibilities that this
CD or MP3/WMA disc Playback
unit will playback the files not according to our expected playback
order.
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 folder or file will be played back.
If file 3 inside Folder C is selected, all the files starting from file 3 will
be played back.

Maintenance
XL-UH220H
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
Correct
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.
