MP3 and WMA

< This unit can play MP3 files recorded in various external USB

storage devices such as USB flash memory, MP3 player or HDD.

The HDD must be formatted FAT 16 or FAT 32, but not NTFS.

< When more than 2000 files are recorded on the USB memory, the

unit might not be able to play them correctly.

< File names of MP3 or WMA should be alphanumeric characters.

This unit cannot display symbols and full-size or double-byte
characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.) correctly. Also, be
sure to use the file extension. (“.mp3” for MP3 files, “.wma” for
WMA files.)

< MP3 files are mono or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format. This

unit can play MP3 files with sampling frequency 44.1 kHz or 48
kHz, bit-rate 320 kbps or less.

< This unit can play WMA files with sampling frequency 44.1 kHz,

bit-rate 192 kbps or less.

WMA means Windows Media Audio.

< Audio encoded at 128 kbps should sound close to regular audio

CD quality. Although this player will play lower bit-rate MP3
songs, the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit­rates.

Connecting Antennas (AM/FM)

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this unit is
sufficient for good reception in most areas.
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot in the
antenna base.

Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna terminals.
Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame, etc., in
the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all other wires
such as power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away
as possible from the antenna.

AM Outdoor
Antenna

Make sure to connect
the black wire to the
GND terminal.

FM Indoor Antenna

Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket, extend
the lead and tune in your favourite station (see page 23). Adjust the
antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall until the
reception is best and then affix the antenna in that position using
thumb tacks, push pins or any other suitable means.

ENGLISH

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it may be necessary to use an
FM outdoor antenna.
Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an
area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary
to use one with 5 or more elements.

< If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient

reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or
in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an AM
outdoor antenna.

Use either a high quality commercially available AM antenna or,

if not available, an insulated wire more than 5 m long, strip one
end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.

The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a

window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a
reliable ground.

Note:

Even when using an AM outdoor antenna, do not disconnect the
AM loop antenna.

< Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor

antenna.
