Safety Information
CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES
This product u ses batteries. Misuse of batterie s could cause a leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by the following precautions when using bat­teries.
Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The
batteries could r upture or leak, causing fire or
injury.
When installing batteries, pay attention to the
polarity indications (plus/minus (+/– ) orientation),
and install them correctly in the battery compart­ment as indicated. Putting them in backward could make the batteries rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.
When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their
terminals with insulation tape or something like that
to prevent them from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.
When throwing used batteries away, follow the
disposal instructions indicated on the batteries
and the local disposal laws.
Do not use batteries other than those specified.
Do not mix and use new and old batteries or differ-
ent types of batteries together. The batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.
Do not carry or store batteries together with small
metal objects. The batteries could short, causing
leak, rupture or other trouble.
Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put
them in fire or water. Batteries could rupture or
leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.
If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on
the battery case before inserting new batteries. If
the battery fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss of eyesight. If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out thoroughly with clean water without rubbing the eye and then consult a doctor immediately. If the fluid gets on a person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin injuries or burns. If this should happen, wash it off with clean water and then consult a doctor immediately.
The unit power should be off when you install and
replace batteries.
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use
the unit for a long time. Batteries could rupture or
leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them. If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery compartment before ins erting new batteries.
CAUTIONS ABOUT LASER RADIATION
This product has been designed and manufactured according to FDA regulations “title 21, CFR, chapter 1, subchapter J, based on the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968,” and is classified as a class 1 laser product. There is no hazardous invis­ible laser radiation during operation because invisible laser radiation emitted inside of this product is com­pletely confined in the protective housings.
The label required in this regulation is shown at 1.
Cautions:
DO NOT REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE HOUSING
USING A SCREWDRIVER.
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR
PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
IF TH I S PR O DU C T D E V E LO P S TR O U B LE ,
CONTACT YOUR NEAREST QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL, AND DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT IN ITS DAMAGED STATE.
CLASS 1M INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN
OPEN AND INTERLOCKS DEFEATED. DO NOT
VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.
Optical pickup
Type : SF-P101VF Manufacturer : SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. Laser output : Less than 0.25 mW on the objective lens Wavelength : 760 to 820 nm
RACK-MOUNTING THE UNIT
If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of space above it and 4 inch (10 cm) or more of space at the rear.
Use the rack-mounting kit to mount the unit in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, as shown below. Remove the feet of the unit before mounting.
Do not disassemble a battery. The acid inside the
battery could harm skin or clothing.

1 − Introduction

Precautions and notes for placement and use

The operating temperature should be between 5°C and
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for
correct operation.
Do not place any object on the unit for heat dissipation.
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
electrical device such as a power amplifier.

Beware of condensation

If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct oper­ation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the player sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature before using.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the unit, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any benzene, paint thinner, ethyl alcohol or other chemical agents to clean the unit as they could damage the surface.

About discs

and always store them in a clean state.
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, ben-
zene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs to become unplayable.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the
disc and do not use any protective coating spray. Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using
stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism and cause it to malfunction.
Do not use cracked discs.
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu-
lar promotional, etc. discs.
When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a
soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection sys-
tem, have been released form several record companies in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable on the CD-200.
In addition to audio CDs (CD-DA), the CD-200 can play CD-R and CD-RW discs on which audio CD, MP3, or WAV format files are recorded. The CD player can also play 3-inch CDs

Handling of compact discs

Always place the compact discs in the trays with their
label facing upward.
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center
of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it care­fully by the edges.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-
label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping or mal­function.
To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft
dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them

<An Example of Data CD Structure>

Discs that can be played

This unit can play the following types of files and discs.
CD-DA (audio CD) format discs
ª
Music CDs that are commercially available and CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded as audio CD format can be played. In this manual, these types of discs are called “audio CDs.”
CD-ROM (data CD) format discs
ª
Discs with MP3 and WAV files recorded on them can be played. In this manual, these types of discs are called “data CD s.”
MP3 files that have a sampling frequency of 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz and a bit-rate of 32–320 kbps or a variable bit­rate (VBR) can be played back. WAV files that have a sampling frequency of 8–48 kHz and are 8-bit or 16-bit can be played back.
Limitations of MP3 files that use VBR compression
Due to format limitations, positions cannot be accurately detected in VBR files. For this reason, the point where playback actually starts might differ slightly from the point set in advance for functions of this player when points must be set in the middle of a track.

Folders and tracks on data CDs

This unit treats all the audio files (WAV and MP3) on data CDs as “tracks.” Some data CDs store files inside folders in the same way that ordinary computers do. In addition, multiple folders can be stored inside another folder creating a multilevel structure.
This unit assigns a folder number to each folder to manage them. Folder numbers and are assigned sequentially start­ing with the first folder at the highest level followed by the folders (subfolders) inside it. Folders inside a higher-level folder are numbered in order before the next folder in the higher-level is numbered as shown in the illustration below.
If the root folder of a data CD contains one or more audio files, it will be numbered as the first folder.
Each audio file is also assigned a track number. Track numbers are assigned in order starting from those in the lowest numbered folder.
During ordinary playback of data CDs, tracks are played back just like an audio CD in the order of their assigned numbers.
Folders that do not directly contain audio files are not given numbers. For example, in the illustration below the folder that contains folder 5 is not given a number.
