What is MP3?
“MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3)” is a standard technology and format for compressing an audio sequence into a small­sized file. However, the original level of sound quality is preserved during playback. Some MP3 discs have the ID3 tag information. * ID3 tag means the metadata recorded on the MP3 disc
such as the song title, artist name, etc.
Notes
Depending on recording conditions such as recording software
settings, this unit may not be able to play back the disc or play back files in the order they were recorded.
This unit is compatible with a bit rate range of 32, 64, 96, 128,
160, 192, 256 or 320 kbps and variable bit encoded MP3 files.
This unit is compatible with a sampling frequency of 44.1, or
48 kHz.
The disc must be ISO9660 compatible.
What is WMA?
“WMA (Windows Media Audio)” is a Microsoft file format for encoding digital audio files similar to MP3 though can compress files at a higher rate than MP3.
Notes
This unit is compatible with a bit rate range of 192 kbps or less
and variable bit encoded WMA files.
This unit is compatible with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
The disc must be ISO9660 compatible.
Copyright-protected WMA files can not be played back with

Battery replacement
If you notice that the remote control must be used closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new ones.
Notes
Use only AAA, R03, UM-4 batteries for replacement.
Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside
the battery compartment.)
Remove the batteries if the remote control is not used for an
extended period of time.
If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching
the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.
Notes
There should be no large obstacles between the remote control
and the main unit.
If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong
lighting (especially an inverter type fluorescent lamp etc.), the remote control might not work properly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.

Notes
Not all discs have index numbers. In addition, among those discs which have index numbers, not all discs necessarily have more than one index number.
The index system is a method for sub-dividing tracks into smaller divisions for easier location of those parts. The liner notes contained in the disc case usually tell that such index numbers are included with the mark.
For some discs, playback may starts slightly prior to the actual designated index point.
If the disc has no encoded index points, playback starts from the beginning of the selected track.
The index number can be designated only while “INDEX” is illuminated.

Automatic searching for the peak level on a disc (for Audio CD)

This unit automatically searches for the peak level of the disc, and play back the part repeatedly. When recording to tape, this feature is very helpful for adjusting the recording level on the tape deck.
To cancel the peak level search function
1 Press to stop the playback.
Press .
Note
Even if the peak level search is performed several times on the same disc, the same part may not be always selected. That is because the unit searches for the peak level among parts of the disc that are randomly selected by the internal microcomputer.
2 Press PEAK.
PEAK
“PK” lights up on the display, and the peak level search is performed on the disc. It takes a few minutes to search for the peak level.

CD SYNCHRONIZED RECORDING

This unit can automatically synchronize a tape deck recording with CD play. With this function, you can record a CD on tape easily and precisely. This recording method requires a YAMAHA tape deck compatible with this function. (Refer to the tape deck operation manual to find out whether it is compatible or not.) * This unit and the tape deck must be placed close to each other so that both of them can simultaneously receive the signals from the
remote control of this unit.

NOTES ABOUT DISCS

Discs playable with this unit

This compact disc player is designed only for playing back compact discs bearing the marks shown below. Never attempt to load any other type of disc into the unit. The unit can also play back 8-cm (3-inch) compact discs.
.... Compact discs (digital audio)
The most popular discs for commercially available audio CDs.
.... CD-R,CD-RW digital audio discs
Music CDs made by copying onto a CD­R or CD-RW (including MP3 or WMA format files).
Notes
Be sure to use a CD-R or CD-RW disc made by a reliable manufacture.
Be sure to use a CD-R or CD-RW disc which has at least one of the following phrases on the disc or disc case.
FOR CONSUMER FOR CONSUMER USE FOR MUSIC USE ONLY
Be sure to use a finalized CD-R or CD­RW disc.
.... CD-TEXT discs
The discs recorded with text data such as album titles, track titles and artist names. These discs can be played back with ordinary CD players, however, the text data can be displayed only with CD players which have the ability to display such data.
Note
This compact disc player may not be able to play back some CD-RW discs or discs on which recording was not made correctly.
To prevent a malfunction of this unit:
Do not use any nonstandard shaped disc (heart etc.) available on the market because it might damage the unit.
Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it. If you use such a disc, a disc may get stuck in the unit, or damage to the unit may result.

Notes about handling compact discs

Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not scratched.
Compact discs are not subjected to wear during playback, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely affect the disc playback.
Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when writing on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball­point pen, pencil, or other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may damage the disc and may adversely affect the disc playback.
Do not warp discs.
When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from
the unit and store in an appropriate case.
When removing or storing a disc, be careful not to scratch the playing surface.
Compact discs are not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.
Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid because such substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or high humidity for a long period of time because these might warp or otherwise damage the disc.
No!
To play back an 8-cm CD
Place it in the inner recessed area of the disc tray. Do not put a normal (12-cm) CD on top of an 8-cm CD.
