Take Lots of Songs with You Wherever You Go
In addition to the usual |
audio CDs, you can play an original CD, called “ |
ATRAC CD,” that you |
|||
create with |
the |
supplied |
software, |
SonicStage. Using SonicStage, about 30 audio CDs* can be |
|
recorded on |
one |
CD-R or CD-RW. |
|
|
|
The following is a quick overview of how you listen to music on your ATRAC CD.
Install SonicStage on your computer.
SonicStage is software that takes music downloaded from audio CDs on your computer and creates original CDs. It can be installed from the supplied CD-ROM.
ATRAC CD
Create an ATRAC CD.
After selecting your favorite songs from music stored on your computer, record them on a CD-R/CD-RW using SonicStage.
Audio
MP3 files
Listen to them with this CD player.
You can take lots of songs wherever you go on your original CD.
Please see the supplied “Installation/Operating Guide” for how to install SonicStage and how to create ATRAC CDs.
* When the total playing time of one CD (album) is estimated at 60 minutes and you are recording on a 700 MB CD-R/CD-RW at 48 kbps in ATRAC3plus format.
4GB
Which discs can you play on this CD player?
Audio CDs:
CDDA format CDs
CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) is a recording standard used for Audio CDs.
ATRAC CDs:
CD-R/CD-RW on which audio data compressed in the |
ATRAC3plus or/and |
ATRAC3 format has been recorded* |
|
ATRAC3 (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3) is audio compression technology |
|
that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates. |
|
ATRAC3plus is audio compression technology developed from the ATRAC3 format |
|
and can compress audio files to about 1/20 of their original size at 64 kbps. |
|
You can create an ATRAC CD using SonicStage. |
|
MP3 CDs:
CD-R/CD-RW on which audio data compressed in the MP3 format has been recorded*
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer3) is audio compression technology that can compress audio files to about 1/10 of their original size.
CD-R/CD-RW on which mixed audio data compressed in the ATRAC3plus, ATRAC3, and/or MP3 formats has been recorded by using a software other than SonicStage can also be played. With SonicStage, you cannot create a CD on which mixed audio data is recorded.
* Only ISO 9660 Level 1/2 and Joliet extension format discs can be played.
Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

File structures of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs
ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs consist of
“files” and “ groups.” A “file” is equivalent to a “track” of an audio CD. A “group”
is a bundle of files and is equivalent to an “album.”
For MP3 CDs, this CD player recognizes an MP3 folder as a “group” so that ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs can be operated in the same way.
The usable number of groups and files
–maximum number of groups: 255
–maximum number of files: 999
Playing order of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs
For ATRAC CDs, files are played in the order |
|
||
selected in SonicStage. |
|
|
|
For MP3 CDs, the playing order may differ |
|
||
depending on the |
method used to record |
|
|
MP3 files on the |
disc. |
A “play list” which |
|
contains an MP3 file playing order can also |
|
||
be recorded. In |
the following example, files |
|
|
are played in order of |
to |
. |
|
MP3 |
Group |
|
File |
(Maximum directory levels: 8)
Notes
•If ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 files and MP3 files are recorded on the same CD, this CD player plays the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 files first.
•The playback capability of this CD player may vary depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording device.
•Acceptable characters are A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, and _(underscore).
•On a disc that has ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3/MP3
files, do not save files in other formats and do not make unnecessary folders.
AboutATRAC CDs
•CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus/ ATRAC3 format cannot be played on your computer.
About MP3 CDs
•Be sure to add the file extension “mp3” to the file name. However, if you add the extension “mp3”
to a file other than an MP3 file, the player will not be able to recognize the file properly.
•This CD player can play bit rates of 16 to 320 kbps and sampling frequencies of 32/44.1/48 kHz. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) files can also be played.
•To compress a source in an MP3 file, we recommend setting the compression parameters to “44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and “Constant Bit Rate.”
•To record up to the maximum capacity, set the writing software to “halting of writing.”
•To record up to the maximum capacity at one time on media that has nothing recorded on it, set the writing software to “Disc at Once.”

Precautions
On safety
•Should any solid objects or liquid fall into the CD player, unplug it and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
•Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 4.5 V (external power input) jack.
On the CD player
•Keep the lens on the CD player clean and do not touch it. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the CD player will not operate properly.
•Do not put any heavy object on top of the CD player. The CD player and the CD may be damaged.
•Do not leave the CD player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain, mechanical shock, unleveled
surface, or in a car with its windows closed.
•If the CD player causes interference to the radio or television reception, turn off the CD player or move it away from the radio or television.
•Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this CD player. Attempting to do so may damage
the CD player. Do not use such discs.
On handling CDs
•To keep the CD clean, handle it by its edge. Do not touch the surface.
•Do not stick paper or tape onto the CD.
•Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts. Do not leave the CD in a car parked under direct sunlight.
On headphones/earphones
Road safety
Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones/earphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Consideration for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.

On the water resistance
• |
Before you open the lid, be sure to wipe off |
|
|
water, dust or sand on the exterior of the |
|
|
unit. Open and close the lid where water or |
|
|
sand cannot fall in the unit, and make sure |
|
|
that your hands are dry. If water or sand |
|
|
falls in the unit, trouble may occur. |
|
• |
When closing the lid, check that there is no |
|
|
dust or sand on the rubber packing around |
|
|
the lid. Then close the lid firmly. |
|
• |
The supplied headphones are not meant to |
|
|
be immersed in water or come in continuous |
|
|
contact with water. If they are accidentally |
|
|
dropped into water or get wet, dry them |
|
|
with a soft cloth. Never use an electric hair |
|
|
dryer. |
|
• The supplied AC power adaptor is not water |
|
|
|
resistant. To prevent shock hazard, avoid |
|
|
using the player near water during AC |
|
|
operation. |
|
• |
Cover the DC IN 4.5 V jack and |
jack |
|
with the attached rubber caps when nothing |
|
|
is connected to these jacks. If the inside of |
|
|
the jacks are contaminated with water or |
|
|
sand, rust may develop and cause trouble. |
|
Note
Since the unit is airtight, you may not be able to open the lid when there is a sudden change in air pressure inside the unit. This happens when the unit is transported on a plane or moved from a warm place to a cold place. In this case, open the rubber cap on the DC IN 4.5 V jack.
