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.
•Before playing, clean the 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.
•Do not use any discs with labels or stickers
attached.
The following malfunctions may result from
using such discs:
— Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or
sticker peeling off and jamming the eject
mechanism).
— Inability to read audio 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.
•You cannot play 8 cm (3 in.) CDs.

About MP3 files
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard
technology and format for compressing a
sound sequence. The file is compressed to
about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside
the range of human hearing are compressed
while the sounds we can hear are not
compressed.
Recommended MP3 file format
Sampling frequency32k, 44.1k, 48k
(Hz)
Bitrate (bps)32k to 256k
Notes on discs
You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs,
CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.
The disc must be in the ISO 9660* level 1 or
level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the
expansion format.
* ISO 9660 Format
The most common international standard
for the logical format of files and folders on
a CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. In
Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format
(no more than 8 characters in the name, no
more than 3 characters in the extension
“.MP3”) and in capital letters. Folder names
can be no longer than 8 characters. There can
be no more than 8 nested folder levels. Level
2 specifications allow file names up to 31
characters long.
Each folder can have up to 8 trees.
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format,
make sure of the contents of the writing
software, etc.
Notes
• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1 and
level 2, folder names or file names may not be
displayed correctly.
• When naming, be sure to add the file extension
“.MP3” to the file name.
• If you put the extension “.MP3” to a file other
than MP3, the player cannot recognize the file
properly and will generate random noise that
could damage your speakers.
• The following discs take a longer time to start
playback.
—a disc recorded with complicated tree
structure.
—a disc to which data can be added.
• If you play a high-bit rate MP3 file such as 320
kbps, sound may be intermittent.
The playback order of the MP3 files
The playback order of the folders and files is as
follows:
1
