Additional Information

Playable Discs

• AUDIO CD
• CD-R/CD-RW
• Audio Data
• MP3 files that conform to ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, or Joliet (expansion format).

Notes

• MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3) is a standard format defined by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) which compresses audio data. MP3 files must be in MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 format.
• The system can only play back MP3 files that have a file extension of “.mp3”.

Discs that cannot be played back

• CD-ROM - CD-R/CD-RW which has the following conditions: – Recorded in MP3 PRO format. – Recorded in multisession that have not ended by “closing the session” – Recorded with an incompatible recording device – Poor recording quality -Scratches or dirty – Finalized incorrectly • Discs of non-standard shape (for example, heart, square, star) • Discs that have adhesive tape, paper, or sticker attached to them - Rental or used discs with attached seals where the glue extends beyond the seal • Discs that have labels printed using ink that feels tacky when touched

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.

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.

Notes on playing multisession discs

• This system can play back multisession discs when an MP3 file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.
• If the first session is recorded in AUDIO CD format, only the first session will be played back.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight.

Continued

On safety

• Completely disconnect the power cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time. When unplugging the unit, always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid get into the system, unplug the system, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it again.
• The AC power cord must be changed only at a qualified service shop.
• Avoid looking directly at the lighting on the LED speakers for too long. Doing so may be harmful to your health.

On placement

• Do not place the system in an inclined position or in locations that are extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or humid, or lacking adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration, direct sunlight, or bright light.
• Be careful when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (for example, with wax, oil, or polish) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit and cause the system to malfunction. In this situation, remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

On heat buildup

• Heat buildup on the unit during operation is normal and is not a cause for alarm.
• Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used continuously at a high volume because the cabinet may have become hot.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

On the speaker system

This speaker system is not magnetically shielded, and the picture on nearby TV sets may become magnetically distorted. In this situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on. If there is no improvement, move the speakers far away from the TV.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
