7 Playing CD-R/CD-RW discs

This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable)
discs as well as ordinary Audio CD and CD-R
(Recordable) discs.

• This unit can play back Audio CD format and CD-

R/CD-RW discs which contain MP3 music data.
However, some discs may have problems such
as unable to play, noise or sound distortion.

* For details, please read the instruction manual

provided with a CD recorder.

• The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain

properly-recorded TOC information so that they
can be played back. In CD recorders, the task of
writing TOC information is referred to as finalizing
the disc. Discs that are not finalized cannot be
properly recognized as an Audio CD and played
back by regular CD players and Super Audio CD
players. For details, please read the instruction
manual provided with a CD recorder.

* TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains

information such as the total number of tracks
and total playing time of the disc.

• This player can only be used to play Audio CD-

DA format discs or discs on which MP3 or WMA
audio data have been recorded. Do not attempt
to play a disc containing other data, such as a
CD-ROM for PCs, on this unit.

• As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates

partial change of the player setup, it may take
longer time for reading the TOC information than
when an Audio CD or CD-R disc is played.

7 Playing MP3 or WMA fi les

This CD player can be used to play CD-R or CD-RW
discs on which MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) or WMA
(Windows Media Audio) format audio files have
been recorded.
Support for MP3 ID3 tags enables display of ID3
information, such as artist names, album titles,
track titles and the like, if this information has been
recorded with the tracks.

• Windows Media and the Windows Logo are the

registered trademark and trademark of Microsoft
Corporation in the United States and other
countries.

• Music that you have recorded that is subject

to copyright laws is for personal use only, and
cannot be used otherwise without the permission
of the copyright holder.

• The sound file specification supported by this

CD player is “MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3” (sampling
frequency fs 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz). Other
specifications, such as MPEG-2 Audio Layer-3,
MPEG-2.5 Audio Layer-3, MP1 or MP2 are not
supported.

• Generally the higher the bit rate, the higher the

sound quality.

MP3 bit rates are between 32 - 320 kb/s and for

WMA between 64 - 160 kb/s. It is recommended
that MP3/WMA recordings with a bit rate of at
least 128 kb/s be used.

• Ensure that MP3/WMA files have the extension

“.mp3” or “.wma.” Files with other file extensions
or without any extension at all cannot be played
on this player.

single disc is 255 and the maximum number of
folders is also 255.

characters can be displayed.

• The text information, such as ID3 tag information

and file names that are displayed during
playback of MP3s, support English alphanumeric
characters only.

• When playing variable bit rate files, it is possible

that the playing time may not be displayed
accurately.

• When writing onto CD-R or CD-RW discs,

please use either ISO9660 mode 1 or ISO9660
mode 2-disc format. Multi-session recording is
also supported enabling the playing of data that
have been added to a disc.

• MP3/WMA files that have been recorded by

“packet writing” cannot be played back.

• Depending on the condition of the recorded data,

it may take some time to read song information.

• In the case of an Enhanced or Mixed Mode CD

having combined audio format CD-DA along with
MP3/WMA files, only the CD-DA audio portion
will be played.

• The playback of WMA DRM (Digital Rights

Management) files is not supported by this
