Disc Play Introduction

Continued I_

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs:

• CD (Audio CD)

• CD-R (CD-Recordable)

• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)

• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW)

When playinga CD-R orCD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable)

(CD-ReWritable)

"finalized." and CD-RWs can be played back only if they are already

• You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in music CD format or in MP3 format.

(However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player's lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular discs.

MP3 Introduction

What is MP3?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1

(or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 kbps*).

By using

MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contains 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio data will consume. The unit uses kbps (l,000 bits per second). To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding (recording) is 128 kbps.

MP3 disc structure

On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file.

Files are grouped into a directory (or folder).

Directories can also include other directories, creating hierarchical directory layers.

(See "How are MP3 files recorded and played back?" on page 15.)

This unit manages files and directories as "tracks" and "groups."

This unit can recognize up to 255 tracks per disc, up to 64 groups per disc. The unit ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play them back.

About the CD ready lamps

Each CD ready lamp corresponds to the disc tray of the same number.

When and why they light up?

- When you turn on the unit for the first time after

plugging

into a wall outlet, all CD ready lamps (CD1

READY,

CD2 READY, and CD3 READY)

light up.

From the next time on, CD ready lamp(s)

light(s) up according

to the previous

condition.

- Each time you press the disc tray open/close

buttons

--_ (CD1, CD2, and CD3), the corresponding CD ready

lamp lights up.

When and why they go off?.

Only when the unit detects there is no disc loaded on a

certain tray, the corresponding CD ready lamp goes off.

("NO DISC 1," "NO DISC 2," or "NO DISC

3"

appears on the display.)

When and why they flash?

The corresponding CD ready lamp flashes during

playback and pause.

_About

MP3 discs

• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time.

(It varies due to the complexity of the recording configuration.)

° When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

° This unit does not support multisession recording.

° This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions--

".MP3," ".Mp3"' ".mP3," and ".mp3."

° Files other than MP3 are ignored.

° Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

How are MP3 files recorded and played back?

MP3 "tracks (files)" can be recorded in "group"--folders directories, in PC terminology.

During recording, the tracks and groups can be arranged similarly to the tracks and folders/directories of computer or data. "Root" is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and group can be linked to the root.

In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth of nested directories--so

(inclusive of the root).

called "hierarchy"--is eight

Playback order, track search order, and group search order of the MP3 tracks recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different from the one you have intended while recording the groups and the tracks.

The illustration shows an ordinary example of how MP3 tracks are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back and how they are searched for on this unit.

• The numbers in circles next to the MP3 tracks (_') indicate the playback order and search order of the MP3 tracks.

Normally this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the recorded order.

• The numbers inside the groups indicate the playback order and search order of the groups on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the groups in the recorded order.

The groups marked with asterisk (*) will be skipped since they do not include any MP3 tracks.

IMPORTANT:

• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

• If there are excessive noise or static in the recording you have made, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit.

• You can use type I tape for recording.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs, tapes, and mechanism clean.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your discs and the mechanism clean.

• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

• Keep the unit's disc trays closed when not in use.

Handlingcassettetapes

• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.

• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.

Handling discs

• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.

• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.

Avoid the following places to store the tape:

-- In dusty places

-- In direct sunlight or heat

-- In moist areas

-- Near a magnet x@ xQ

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Continued use of irregular shape discs

(heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.

Cleaningthe unit

• Stains on the unit

Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
