PLAYING COMPACT DISCS
Notes on compact discs
This unit has been designed only to play back the
following CDs.
• Digital audio CD
• Recordable digital audio CD (CD-R)
• Rewritable digital audio CD (CD-RW)
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
You can play back finalized CD-R or CD-RW recorded
in music CD format or in MP3 format. (If a CD-RW
has been recorded in a different format, erase all the data
on the CD-RW completely before recording on it.)
• You can play back CD-R or CD-RW in music CD
format like an audio CD.
• Some CD-R or CD-RW may not be played back on
this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage
or stain on them, or if the player lens is dirty.
• The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of
other CDs, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer
time to read.
Notes for MP3 files
• The unit can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3”
as the extensions, which can be in any combination of
upper and lower cases. The file name needs to be up to
20 characters.
• This unit recognizes files and folders on a disc in the
following conditions:
– up to 640 MP3 files,
– up to 256 folders (including the root folder),
– up to 8th layers (including the root folder).
• It is recommended that you record your material at a
44.1-kHz sampling rate, using the 128-kbps data
transfer rate.
• Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back
because of their characteristics or recording conditions.
• MP3 discs require a longer readout time than normal
discs because of the complexity of the folder/file
configuration.
• MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.
• The title, artist name and album name can be displayed
as the ID3 TAG (ID3v1/1.1) information.
Handling discs
Since dirty, damaged or warped discs could damage the
unit, care should be taken of the following:
• Do not touch the reflective recorded surface.
• Do not stick or write anything on the label side.
