FRTake Lots of Songs with You Wherever You Go In addition to the usual audio CDs, you can play an original CD, called “ATRAC CD,” that you create with the supplied software, SonicStage. 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 software that takes music downloaded from audio CDs on your computer and creates 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. 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 ATRAC3plus format.Audio CDs, MP3 lesATRAC CD D-NS707F.US.3-267-208-11(1) 4 GB D-NS707F.US.3-267-208-11(1) 5 GBWhich discs can you play on this CD player? Audio CDs: CDDA format CDs CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) is a recording standard used for Audio CDs. ATRAC CDs: CD-R/CD-RW on which audio data compressed in the ATRAC3plus or/and ATRAC3 format has been recorded* ATRAC3 (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3) is audio compression technology that satises the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates. ATRAC3plus is audio compression technology developed from the ATRAC3 format and can compress audio les to about 1/20 of their original size at 64 kbps. You can create an ATRAC CD using SonicStage. MP3 CDs: CD-R/CD-RW on which audio data compressed in the MP3 format has been recorded* MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer3) is audio compression technology that can compress audio les to about 1/10 of their original size. CD-R/CD-RW on which mixed audio data compressed in the ATRAC3plus, ATRAC3, and/or MP3 formats has been recorded by using a software other than SonicStage can also be played.With SonicStage, you cannot create a CD on which mixed audio data is recorded.* Only ISO 9660 Level 1/2 and Joliet extension format discs can be played. 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.Continued

A “group” is a bundle of les 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 les – maximum number of groups: 255 – maximum number of les: 999 Playing order of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs For ATRAC CDs, les are played in the order selected in SonicStage. For MP3 CDs, the playing order may differ depending on the method used to record MP3 les on the disc. A “play list” which contains an MP3 le playing order can also be recorded. In the following example, les are played in order of to . File MP3 Group (Maximum directory levels: 8) Notes

• If ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 les and MP3 les are recorded on the same CD, this CD player plays the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 les rst.• 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 ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3/MP3 les, do not save les in other formats and do not make unnecessary folders.About ATRAC CDs• CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format cannot be played on your computer.About MP3 CDs• Be sure to add the le extension “mp3” to the le name. However, if you add the extension “mp3” to a le other than an MP3 le, the player will not be able to recognize the le properly.• This CD player can play bit rates of 16 to 320 kbps and sampling frequencies of 32/44.1/48 kHz. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) les can also be played.• To compress a source in an MP3 le, 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-NS707F.US.3-267-208-11(1) 6 GB D-NS707F.US.3-267-208-11(1) 7 GBPrecautions On safety
