Precautions

Safety

• This unit operates on 220 – 240
V AC, 50/60 Hz. Check that the
unit’s operating voltage is
identical with your local power
supply.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard,
do not place objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, on the
apparatus.

Installing

• Do not install the unit in an
inclined position. It is designed
to be operated in a horizontal
position only.

• Keep the unit and discs away
from equipment with strong
magnets, such as microwave
ovens, or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on
the unit.

Lightning

For added protection for this set
during a lightning storm, or when it
is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet. This will
prevent damage to the set due to
lightning and powerline surges.

Notes about the discs

• To keep the disc clean, handle
the disc by its edge. Do n ot touch
the surface. Dust, fingerprints, or
scratches on the disc may cause
it to malfunction.

• Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight or heat sources such as
hot air ducts, or leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight as the
temperature may rise
considerably inside the car.

• After playing, store the disc in its
case.

• Clean the disc with a cleaning
cloth.
Wipe the disc from the centre
out.

• Do not use solvents such as
benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• If you have printed the disc’s
label, dry the label before
playing.

Precautions

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid
fall into the cabinet, unplug the
player and have it checked by
qualified personnel before
operating it any further.

On power sources

• The player is not disconnected
from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected
to the wall outlet, even if the
player itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the
player for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the player from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the
AC power cord (mains lead),
grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.

On placement

• Place the player in a location
with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the
player.

• Do not place the player on a soft
surface such as a rug.

• Do not place the player in a
location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.

• Do not install this player in a
confined space, such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.

• Install the player so that the AC
power cord (mains lead) can be
unplugged from the wall socket
immediately in the event of
trouble.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly
from a cold to a warm location,
or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the
lenses inside the player. Should
this occur, the player may not
operate properly. In this case,
remove the disc and leave the
player turned on for about half an
hour until the moisture
evaporates.

• When you move the player, take
out any discs. If you don’t, the
disc may be damaged.

controls with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens
cleaners

Do not use cleaning discs or
disc/lens cleaners (including
wet or spray types). These
may cause the apparatus to
malfunction.

On replacement of parts

In the event that this unit is
repaired, repaired parts may be
collected for reuse or recycling
purposes.

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front
of the track/file names when you store the tracks
(or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be
played in that order.

• Since a disc with a complex hierarchy of folders
takes longer to start playback, it is recommended
that you create albums with no more than two
hierarchies.

• To repeat both MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image
files in a single album, repeat the same MP3 audio
track or album when “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set
to “AUTO.” See “Playing repeatedly (Repeat
Play)” (page 21) to repeat the track or album.

b

• The player will play any data with the extension
“.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” even if they are not
in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may
generate a loud noise which could damage your
speaker system.

• The player does not conform to audio tracks in
mp3PRO format.

• Some JPEG files cannot be played.

• Wit h DATA discs that contain DivX video files in
addition to MP3 au dio tracks or JPEG image files,
the player plays only the DivX video files.

• You can view a slide show with sound only when
the MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files are
placed in the same album.

• If playing time of JPEG image or MP3 audio is
longer than the other, the longer one continues
without sound or image.

• If you play large MP3 track data and JPEG image
data at the same time, the sound may skip. It is
recommended that you set the MP3 bit rate to 128
kbps or lower when creating the file. If the sound
still skips, then reduce the size of the JPEG file.

• Some JPEG files, especially progressive JPEG
files or JPEG files of 3,000,000 pixels or more,
may take longer to disp lay than others, which may
make the duration seem longer than the setting
you selected.

• The player recognizes a maximum of 200 albums
regardless of the selected mode. Of each album,
the player recognizes up to 300 MP3 audio tracks
and 300 JPEG image files when “AUTO” is
selected, 600 MP3 audio tracks when “AUDIO
(MP3)” is selected, 600 JPEG image files when
“IMAGE (JPEG)” is selected, and 600 DivX
video files.

• Proceeding to the next or another album may take
some time.

• The player may not play a DivX video file when
the file has been combined from two or more
DivX video files.

• The player cannot play a DivX video file of size
more than 720 (width) × 576 (height)/2 GB.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture
may be unclear or the sound may skip.

• The pla yer cannot play some DivX video files that
are longer than 3 hours.
