CLARION DFZ-667MC - Compact Discs - 2

Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other specially shaped compact discs.

Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode may not be usable.

Handling

  • Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high temperature and humidity and some of CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be played.
    Therefore, do not leave them for a long time in the car.
  • New discs may have some roughness around the edges. If such discs are used, the player may not work or the sound may skip. Use a ball-point pen or the like to remove any roughness from the edge of the disc.

Ball-point pen Roughness

  • Never stick labels on the surface of the compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.
  • Never play a compact disc with any cellophane tape or other glue on it or with peeling off marks. If you try to play such a compact disc, you may not be able to get it back out of the CD player or it may damage the CD player.
  • Do not use compact discs that have large scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such discs may cause misoperation or damage.
  • To remove a compact disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
  • Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

Storage

  • Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight or any heat source.
  • Do not expose compact discs to excess humidity or dust.
  • Do not expose compact discs to direct heat from heaters.

Cleaning

  • To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center of the compact disc to the circumference.
  • Do not use any solvents, such as commercially available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.
    • After using special compact disc cleaner, let the compact disc dry off well before playing it.

Playing Operations

You can play back CD tracks, MP3/WMA type tracks, and tracks on SD memory card or stored in MUSIC CATCHER II memory with the same operations.

MP3/WMA

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This audio compression method has penetrated into PC users and become a standard format. This MP3 features the original audio data compression to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high sound quality. This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.

What is WMA?

WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft Corporation.

Notes:

  • If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights Management) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is output ("The WMA indicator" blinks).
  • Windows Media ^TM , and the Windows ^ logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

●To disable DRM (Digital Rights Management):

  1. When using Windows Media Player 9, click on TOOL → OPTIONS → MUSIC RECORD tab, then under Recording settings, unclick the Check box for RECORD PROTECTED MUSIC. Then, reconstruct files. Personally constructed WMA files are used at your own responsibility.

  2. When using Windows Media Player 10, click on TOOLS → OPTIONS → RIP MUSIC tab, then under RIP SETTINGS, unclick the Check box for COPY PROTECT MUSIC. Then, reconstruct files. Personally constructed WMA files are used at your own responsibility.

Precautions when creating MP3/WMA files

• MP3: Sampling rate 11.025 kHz-48 kHz, Bit rate: 8 kbps-320 kbps / VBR
• WMA: Bit rate 48 kbps-192 kbps

●File extensions

  • Always add a file extension ".MP3" or ".WMA" to MP3 or WMA file by using single byte letters. If you add a file extension other than specified or forget to add the file extension, the file cannot be played.
  • Files without MP3/WMA data will not play. The indication “--:--” appears in the play time display if you attempt to play files without MP3/WMA data.

●Logical format (File system)

  • When writing MP3/WMA file on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc, please select "ISO9660 level 1, 2 or JOLIET or Romeo" as the writing software format. Normal play may not be possible if the disc is recorded on another format.
  • Be sure to format SD memory card as FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 or VFAT (SD memory card standard compliant format).
  • For this equipment, SD memory card capacity range is as follows: 32 Mbyte to 1 Gbyte
  • For this equipment, SD memory card compatible file format is MP3 and WMA.
  • The folder name and file name can be displayed as the title during MP3/WMA play but the title must be within 128 single byte alphabetical letters and numerals (including an extension).
  • Do not affix a name to a file inside a folder having the same name.

●Folder structure

  • A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical levels will be impossible.
  • SD memory card maximum path length is 126 bytes.

Notes:

  • This equipment does not support SD audio player.
  • This equipment does not support miniSD card and MMC (Multi Media Card) formats.

●Number of files or folders

  • Up to 255 files can be recognized per folder. Up to 512 files can be played.

Notes on recording using MUSIC CATCHER II

  • MUSIC CATCHER II provides recording feature at 4 times speed for audio CDs or CD-Rs.
  • For CD-RWs, only double-speed recording is available.
  • Recording using MUSIC CATCHER II is available only for audio CDs (including CD-R, CD-RW). MP3/WMA discs cannot be recorded; sounds from the AUX input jack or the radio cannot be recorded, too.
  • When recording finishes, MUSIC CATCHER II automatically rewinds to the beginning of the track currently being played back. This is caused by the difference between the recording speed and the playing speed; that does not mean mechanical failure.
  • The sound quality after the recording may differ from that you heard during the recording. This is caused by that MUSIC CATCHER II uses its memory (just recorded) as the sound source for the playback during recording; that does not mean mechanical failure.
  • When you start recording during a CD or a track playback, MUSIC CATCHER II automatically rewinds to the beginning of the CD or the track, then starts recording.
  • The sound quality while MUSIC CATCHER II playing back may differ from that of audio CD. If you are not satisfied with the sound quality, switch the recording mode to SHQ, or HQ; and retry recording.
  • In recording using MUSIC CATCHER II, some amount of silent time is created between the tracks.

  • When recording the rest of the tracks on a CD with some tracks already have been recorded, MUSIC CATCHER II records that rest of the tracks to the same folder previously used.

  • Folder and file names are added automatically during recording. These folder and file names cannot be changed (The file names correspond to the track Nos. on the CD).
    Example:
    Folder name : FLD00001
    Track name : TRACK 01
    Set a “USER TITLE” for a folder name using the entering titles function. Also, delete the “USER TITLE” previously entered, and then MUSIC CATCHER II renames that folder to the same name automatically added during recording. For details on how to set a title, refer to the subsection “Entering titles” (page 23) in the section “Common Operations”.
  • If the disc is not recordable, "NO REC DSC" shows on the display.
  • If the disc contains some tracks previously recorded, "INCLUDED" shows on the display.
  • If there is no empty folder available, "FOLDER FULL" shows on the display.
  • When the memory capacity is used up, "MEMORY FULL" shows on the display and recording is canceled.
  • Recording cannot be performed during SCN, RPT, and RDM. In such cases, "BUSY" shows on the display.
  • The [▶], [I◀◀], [▶▶I], [BND] and [SCN/PRT/RDM] buttons are invalid during recording. When these buttons are pressed, "INVALID" shows on the display.
