Notes on DVDs with a DTS sound track

The DTS audio signal is being output at all times, a loud noise may come out from the speakers if you connect the unit to the audio equipment without a DTS decoder. This may cause damage to the speakers, or affect your ears.

When the disc stored MP3 files is inserted, the tracks are played sequentially from

1 through 7

as numbered. Any sub-albums/tracks contained within a currently selected album take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: C contains D so

4 is played before 5.)

In the MP3 albums list that appears when you press (LIST), the albums are arranged in the following order: A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

Notes

• The playback order may differ depending on the writing software.

• The playback order may not be applicable if a total number of albums and tracks on the disc are over

512.

• The unit can play up to 256 albums. Albums more than first 256 albums cannot be recognized on this unit.

Tips

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track file names, the tracks will be played in that order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start playback, it is recommended that you create albums of no more than two tree levels.

Replacing the lithium battery

Under normal conditions, batteries will last approximately 1 year. (The service life may be shorter, depending on the conditions of use.) When the battery becomes weak, the range of the card remote commander becomes shorter. Replace the battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery. Use of any other battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.

Notes on discs

• To keep the disc clean, do not touch the surface. Handle the disc by its edge.

• Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines when not in use. Do not subject the discs to heat/high temperature. Avoid leaving them in parked cars or on dashboards/rear trays.

• Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink/residue. Such discs may stop spinning when used, causing a malfunction, or may ruin the disc.

Notes on lithium battery

• Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children. Should the battery be swallowed, immediately consult a doctor.

• Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good contact.

• Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing the battery.

• Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers, otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

WARNING

Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire.

• Do not use any discs with labels or stickers attached as this may cause inability to read data correctly (e.g., playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to warp.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.

• Before playing, clean discs with a commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the center out. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analog discs.
