•
oils and other substances can cause errors during playing.

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 and always store
them in a clean state.

Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzine,

•
paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs. This

could damage the delicate playing surface and cause CDs to
become unplayable.

Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use

•
discs that have had tape, stickers or other materials applied

to their surface. Do not use discs that have sticky residue
from stickers, etc. Such discs could become stuck in the unit
or cause it to malfunction.

Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using stabi-

•
lizers with this unit will damage the mechanism and cause it

to malfunction.
Do not use cracked discs.

•
Only use circular compact discs. Do not use non-circular

•
promotional, etc. discs.

Moreover, the use of a wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) or
microwave oven in the same operating environment could also
interfere with Bluetooth transmission. If this occurs, stop using
that equipment or move this unit and the Bluetooth device at
least 10 m away from it.

Profiles

This unit supports the following Bluetooth profiles.

•

A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)

•

AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile)

playback control via Bluetooth.

Even if they have the same Bluetooth profile, however, different
Bluetooth devices can have different functions depending on
their specifications.

Codecs

This unit supports the following A2DP codecs and automatically
selects one of them during audio transmission.

•

SBC

•

AAC

•

aptX

It will select the appropriate A2DP codec to use according to the
codec support of the Bluetooth device and transmission condi­tions.

NOTE

You cannot use buttons, for example, to select the A2DP
codec.

Due to the nature of Bluetooth wireless technology, playback
from this unit will start slightly later than when triggered from
the Bluetooth device.

Some record companies sell copy-protected discs or copy-

•
controlled discs that may not play back correctly in this unit.

Since such discs may not conform with the CD standard, do
not use them in this unit.

If you experience problems with such non-standard discs,

•
you should contact the producers of the disc.

4 – CD playback

ile other than audio)

00002.mp3(Track 002)

In this chapter, we explain playback functions that can be used
with tracks on CDs.

The following explanations assume that a CD that contains
audio files/tracks has been loaded in this unit, the power is ON
and the CD has been set as the current source. (See “Selecting
the audio to output (current source)” on page 16.)

Playable discs and files

This unit can play back the following types of discs and files.

8

CD-DA (audio CD) format discs

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.”

8

Data CDs

This unit can play back CD-ROM/R/RW discs with MP3, MP2 and
WAV files in ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 and Joliet formats. In this
manual, these types of discs are called, “data CDs.”

NOTE

•

This unit cannot read CD-R/RW discs that have not been
finalized.

•

For details about playable sampling frequencies and bit
rates, see “Playback file formats” on page 29.

•

The sampling frequency of this unit’s digital output is always

44.1 kHz regardless of the playback disc/file sampling
frequency. Digital output is possible when pitch control is
ON, but the sampling frequency is altered in proportion to
the pitch control value. When the pitch control function is
ON, therefore, some equipment might not be able to receive
the digital output of this unit.

•

This unit’s display can only show single-byte characters
(alphabet and numbers). File with names that use Japanese,
Chinese or other double-byte characters can be played back,
but those characters will be shown as _ on the display.

•

This unit identifies MP3 and MP2 files by their “.mp3” and
“.mp2” file extensions. This unit cannot play MP3/MP2
files that do not have the correct “.mp3” and “.mp2” file
extension, so always include these file extensions at the
ends of MP3/MP2 file names. This unit cannot play files that
are not in the MP3/MP2 data format even if they have an
“.mp3” and “.mp2” file extension.

•

The unit identifies WAV files with the ".wav" file extension.
This unit cannot play WAV files that do not have the ".wav"
file extension, so always include the ".wav" file extension at
the end of the name of an WAV file. The unit cannot play files
that are not in the WAV data format even if they have the
".wav" file extension.

•

Data CDs with more than 999 files or 512 folders might not
play correctly.

•

Depending on disc conditions, this unit might not be able to
play some discs, or skips in the sound might occur.

Folders and tracks on data CDs

This unit treats all the audio files on data CDs as “tracks”.
Some data CDs store files inside folders in the same way that
computers usually do. In addition, multiple folders can be
stored inside another folder creating a multilevel structure. (The
maximum number of folder levels is 16.)

You can use this unit’s folder search function to look for audio
files among multiple folders. Searching starts from high-level
folders and then moves to lower-level subfolders.

If there are audio files in the root directory of a data CD, this root
directory is also treated as a folder.

Folders that do not directly contain audio files will be ignored
when searching folders. For example, folders C and D in the
illustration below would be ignored when searching folders.
