playable discs

You can play back the following discs on this system. Other discs cannot be played back.

List of playable discs

Format of discs Disc logo
Audio CDs
CD-R/CD-RW(audio data/MP3 files)

Discs that this system cannot play

• An 8 cm disc converted to a standard disc using an adaptor
  • C D - R O M s
• CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than those recorded in the following formats:

- music CD format

- MP3 format that conforms to ISO9660 ^1) Level 1/Level 2, Joliet, Romeo or Multi Session ^2)

• A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g., card, heart).
  • A disc with paper or stickers on it.
• A disc that has the adhesive, cellophane tape, or a sticker still left on it.

1) ISO9660 Format

The most common international standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM. There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than eight characters in the name, no more than three characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight characters. There can be no more than eight nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names and folder names up to 31 characters long. Each folder can have up to 8 trees.

For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format make sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.

2) Multi Session

This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method.

Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session.

CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks in session 2.

Mixed CD: This format records data on the first track and audio (audio CD data) on the second and subsequent tracks of a session.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs cannot be played on this system depending upon the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device. Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording device.
• Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be played back because of scratches, dirt, recording condition or the driver's characteristics.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi-session that have not ended by “closing the session” are not supported.
• The system may be unable to play MP3 format files that do not have the “.MP3” extension.
• Attempting to play non-MP3 format files that have the “.MP3” extension may result in noise or malfunction.
• With formats other than ISO9660 level 1 and 2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.

• The following discs take a longer time to start playback.

• a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.

• a disc recorded in Multi Session.
• a disc to which data can be added (non-finalized disc).

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to playback 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.

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session

• If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and playback continues until an MP3 session is encountered.
• If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is recognized as an MP3 disc, and playback continues until a CD-DA (audio) session is encountered.
• The playback range of an MP3 disc is determined by the tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc.
• A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the power cord (mains), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

• Do not place the system in an inclined position.
• Do not place the system in locations where it is;
  -Extremely hot or cold
  – Dusty or dirty
• Very humid
  – Subject to vibrations
  – Subject to direct sunlight.

- Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

On heat buildup

• Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction.
• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• If you continuously use this system at a high volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
• To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation hole.

In case color irregularity is observed on nearby a TV screen

With the magnetically shielded type of speaker system, the speakers can be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularity may still be observed on the TV screen depending on the type of your TV set.

If color irregularity is observed...

Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.

If color irregularity is observed again...

Place the speakers farther away from the TV set.

On operation

• 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 CD player. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any disc.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Aiwa dealer.

Notes on discs
