MP3/WMA folder mode (only for MP3/WMA files)

To playback MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) file

There are many music sites on the internet that you can download MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files. Follow the instructions from the website on how to download the music files. You can then playback these downloaded music files by burning them to a CD-R/RW disc or by connecting a USB Memory Player device.

- Your downloaded song/files are for personal use only. Any other usage of the song without owner's permission, is against the law.

■ About folder playback order

If MP3/WMA files are recorded in several folders, a folder number will be set to each folder automatically.

These folders can be selected by the FOLDER button on the remote control. If there is no supported file formats inside the selected folder, the folder is skipped and the next folder will be selected.

Example: How to set folder number if MP3/WMA format files are recorded as below figure.

1. ROOT folder is set as folder 1.
2. As for folders inside ROOT folder (Folder A and Folder B), the folder which is recorded earlier on the disc will be set as folder 2 and folder 3.
3. As for folder inside Folder A (Folder C and Folder D), the folder which is recorded earlier on the disc will be set as folder 4 and folder 5.
4. Folder E that is inside Folder D will be set as folder 6.

- The folder and file order information which is recorded on the disc depends on the writing software. There may be possibilities that this unit will playback the files not according to our expected playback order.

- For CD MP3/WMA, 512 numbers of folders and files inclusives of the folders which have non playable files can be read.

Folder mode on/off can be operated by the FOLDER button on the remote control. Files that are played when folder mode is set to the on position, may differ from those played back when folder mode is turned off.

Folder Mode Off case:

All the files starting from the selected file will be played back. If file 3 inside Folder C is selected, all the files starting from file 3 will be played back until file 10 of Folder E.

Folder Mode On case:

All the files inside the selected folder will be played back. In case Folder D is selected, file 6, 7 and 8 will be played back. File 9 and 10 in Folder E will not be played back.

When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be displayed.

"TP" (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast carries traffic information, and "TA" (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic information is on air. "PTYI" (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is received.

You can control the RDS by using the buttons on the remote control only.

■ Information provided by RDS

Each time the RDS DISPLAY button is pressed, the display will switch as follows:

Station name (PS) Programme type (PTY)

When tuning in to a station other than an RDS station or to an RDS station which sends weak signal, the display will change in the following order:

■ Using the Auto Station Programme Memory (ASPM)

Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically search for new RDS stations. Up to 40 stations can be stored. If you have already stored some stations in the memory, the number of new stations you can store will be less.

2 When an RDS station is found, "RDS" will appear for a short time and the station will be stored in memory.

3 After scanning, the number of stations stored in memory will be displayed for 4 seconds, and then "END" will appear for 4 seconds.

To stop the ASPM operation before it is completed:

Press the RDS ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations. The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.

Notes:

• If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the strongest frequency will be stored in the memory.
• Any station which has the same frequency as the one stored in the memory will not be stored.
• If 40 stations have already been stored in the memory, scanning will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the preset memory.
• If no stations have been stored in the memory, "END" will appear for about 4 seconds.
• If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in the memory.

To erase all of the contents of preset memory:

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by mode. 2 Whilst pressing down the ⏻ button and the 5 button, press the TUNER (BAND) button until "TUNER CLEAR" appears. - After performing this operation, all of the preset memory information will be erased.

To store a station name again if the wrong name was stored in memory:

■ Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does not mean that the unit is faulty:

• "PS", "NO PS" and a station name appear alternately, and the unit does not operate properly.
• If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function may not work properly.
• When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too weak, information like the station name may not be displayed.
• "NO PS", "NO PTY" or "NO RT" will flash for about 5 seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for radio text:

• The first 10 characters of the radio text will appear for 4 seconds and then they will scroll across the display.
• If you tune in to an RDS station which is not broadcasting any radio text, "NO RT" will be displayed when you switch to the radio text position.
• Whilst radio text data is received or when the text contents change, "RT" will be displayed.

■ To recall stations in memory

Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

■ If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interference (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.

If such problem occurs, do the following:

1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again. 2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the unit again, and then turn the power on.

Note:

If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by resetting it.

Troubleshooting chart (continued)

■ Before transporting the unit

Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.

■ Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.

• Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
• Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
• Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.

Maintenance

■ Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

• Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish.
• Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.
