Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back only files of the same

type which are first detected if a disc includes
both audio CD (CD-DA) files and

MP3/WMA

files.

• This unit can play back multi-session discs;

however, unclosed sessions will be skipped
while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play

back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, or for the following reasons:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens

inside the unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are

written with “Packet Write” method.

– There are improper recording conditions

(missing data, etc.) or media conditions
(stained, scratched, warped, etc.).

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time

since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower
than that of regular CDs.

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal

stuck to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly

printed by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperatures

or high humidity may cause malfunctions or
damage to the unit.

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files

with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>
(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

• This unit can show the names of albums,

artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0,
1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for
WMA files.

• This unit can display only one-byte

characters. No other characters can be
correctly displayed (see page 11).

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files

meeting the conditions below:

– Bit rate: 8 kbps — 320 kbps
– Sampling frequency:
48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for MPEG-1)
24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz (for MPEG-2)
48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for WMA)
– Disc format: ISO 9660 Level 1/ Level 2,

Romeo, Joliet, Windows long file name

• The maximum number of characters for file/

folder names vary among the disc format used
(includes 4 extension characters—<.mp3> or
<.wma>).

– ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters
– ISO 9660 Level 2: up to 31 characters
– Romeo*: up to 128 (72) characters
– Joliet*: up to 64 (36) characters
– Windows long file name*: up to 128 (72)

characters

* The parenthetic figure is the maximum

number of characters for file/folder names
in case the total number of files and folders
is 313 or more.

• This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, of

200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.

• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR

(variable bit rate).

Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy

in elapsed time display, and do not show the
actual elapsed time. This difference becomes
noticeable especially after performing the
search function.

• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and

MP3 PRO format.

– MP3 files encoded in an unappropriated

format.

– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.
– WMA files encoded with lossless,

professional, and voice format.

– WMA files which are not based upon

Windows Media

®

Audio.

– WMA files copy-protected with DRM.
– Files which have the data such as WAVE,

ATRAC3, etc.

• The search function works but search speed is

not constant.
