REFERENCES

• If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds,

the disc is automatically inserted again into the
loading slot again to protect it from dust. Playback
starts automatically.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

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

those which are detected first 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 has occurred on the lens

inside the unit.

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

“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 a protective seal stuck

to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an

ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperature 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 Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or
2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.

other characters can be correctly displayed.

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the

conditions below:

MP3:
– Bit rate: 8 kbps — 320 kbps
– Sampling frequency: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz,

24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz, 12 kHz, 11.025 kHz,

Joliet, Windows long file name

• The maximum number of characters for file/folder

names vary depending on the disc format used

• This unit can recognize a total of 512 files,

200 folders, and 8 hierarchical levels.

• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR (variable

bit rate).

Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in the

elapsed time display, and do not show the actual
elapsed time. In particular, this difference becomes
noticeable after performing the search function.

• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files encoded in MP3i and MP3 PRO format.
