Create Your Own ATRAC CDs
In addition to the regular audio CDs, you can play original CDs (“ATRAC” CDs) that you created with the supplied SonicStage software. Using SonicStage, about 30 audio CDs* can be recorded on one CD-R or CD-RW.
The following is a quick overview of how you listen to music on your ATRAC CD.
Install SonicStage on your computer.
SonicStage is a software product that takes music from audio CDs onto your computer to create your own original CDs. It can be installed from the supplied CD-ROM.
Create an ATRAC CD.
After selecting your favorite songs from music stored on your computer, record them on a CD-R/CD-RW using SonicStage.
Audio CDs,
MP3 files
Listen to them with this CD player.
You can take lots of songs wherever you go on your original CD.
• Please see the supplied “Installation/Operating Guide” for how to install SonicStage and how to create ATRAC CDs.
* When the total playing time of one CD (album) is estimated at 60 minutes and you are recording on a 700 MB CD-R/CD-RW at 48 kbps in ATRAC format.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc
(CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.
Difference in File structures of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs
ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs consist of
“files” and “groups.” A “file” is equivalent to a “track” of an audio CD. A “group” is a bundle of files and is equivalent to an
“album.”
For MP3 CDs, this CD player recognizes an
MP3 folder as a “group” so that ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs can be operated in the same way.
The usable number of groups and files
• Maximum number of groups: 256
• Maximum number of files: 999
Playing order of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs
For ATRAC CDs, files are played in the order selected in SonicStage.
For MP3 CDs, the playing order may differ depending on the method used to record MP3 files on the disc. A “play list” which contains an MP3 file playing order can also be played.
In the following example, files are played in order of
to .
MP3
Group
File
(Maximum directory levels: 8)
Notes
• If ATRAC files and MP3 files are recorded on the same CD, this CD player plays the ATRAC files first.
• The playback capability of this CD player may vary depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording device.
• Acceptable characters are A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, and _ (underscore).
• On a disc that has ATRAC/MP3 files, do not save files in other formats and do not make unnecessary folders.
About ATRAC CDs
• CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the ATRAC format cannot be played on your computer.
About MP3 CDs
• Be sure to add the file extension “mp3” to the file name. However, if you add the extension “mp3” to a file other than an MP3 file, the player will not be able to recognize the file properly.
• To compress a source in an MP3 file, we recommend setting the compression parameters to
“44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and “Constant Bit Rate.”
• To record up to the maximum capacity, set the writing software to “halting of writing.”
• To record up to the maximum capacity at one time on media that has nothing recorded on it, set the writing software to “Disc at Once.”
D-NE730/NE730LS.GB.2-669-188-11(1)
Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid objects or liquid fall into the CD player, unplug it and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN
3 V (external power input) jack.
On the CD player
• Keep the lens on the CD player clean and do not touch it. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the CD player will not operate properly.
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the
CD player. The CD player and the CD may be damaged.
• Do not leave the CD player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain, mechanical shock, unleveled surface, or in a car with its windows closed.
• If the CD player causes interference to the radio or television reception, turn off the
CD player or move it away from the radio or television.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this CD player. Attempting to do so may damage the CD player. Do not use such discs.
On handling CDs
• To keep the CD clean, handle it by its edge.
Do not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape onto the CD.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts. Do not leave the CD in a car parked under direct sunlight.
On headphones
Road safety
Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings.
You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Consideration for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.

D-NE730/NE730LS.GB.2-669-188-11(1)
Notes
• Do not charge any rechargeable battery other than an NH-10WM (supplied) or NH-14WM (not supplied) using this AC power adaptor.
• If you press
during charging, charging stops and playback of the CD starts.
• If you connect the AC power adaptor to the player during playback, play stops.
• During charging, the player and the rechargeable battery become hot. This poses no danger.
• Take out the rechargeable battery when the player is not to be used for a long time.
To remove the rechargeable battery
Push the
end of the rechargeable battery.
When using a dry battery
You can extend the power available by using a dry battery, together with a rechargeable battery by attaching the external battery case.
Make sure to remove the AC power adaptor when attaching the external battery case.
The battery in the player and that in the external battery case are discharged simultaneously.
Notes
• When using the rechargeable battery and dry battery together to extend power, use a fully charged rechargeable battery and new dry battery.
• When you use the CD player on battery power, use an alkaline battery only. If you use any other type of battery, the player may not give its full performance. A decrease in battery life, etc. may occur.
1
Insert an LR6 (size AA) alkaline battery (not supplied) by matching the
to the diagram inside the battery case and close the battery case lid.
Note on the useful life of the rechargeable battery and when to replace it
If the battery is new or has not been used for a long time, it may not charge completely.
In that case, charge it until the OPR lamp goes off and then use the player until the battery is completely depleted (“Lo
Batt” appears on the display). Repeat this procedure several times.
When the battery life is still shorter by about half of a normal charge after trying this procedure, replace the battery with a new rechargeable battery.
Note on carrying the rechargeable battery
Use the supplied battery carrying case to protect against unexpected heat. If the rechargeable battery comes into contact with the metallic objects, heat or fire may occur due to a short circuit.
2
Attach the battery case to the player securely and fasten the screw in the direction of LOCK. Connect the battery case to EXT BATT jack.

To remove the external battery case
Unfasten the screw in the direction of
RELEASE. Then, disconnect the battery case from EXT BATT jack.
Checking the remaining power of the battery
The remaining power of the battery is indicated in the display as shown below. As the black indicator section decreases, the remaining power is depleted further.
“Lo Batt” *
* Beep sounds.
When the battery is depleted, charge the rechargeable battery or replace the dry battery with a new one.
Notes
• The display shows the approximate battery power remaining. For example, one section does not always indicate one-fourth of the battery power.
• Depending on the operating conditions, the display may increase or decrease relative to the actual power remaining.
