5. HANDLING COMPACT DISCS

Use only compact discs bearing the mark.

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.

• 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.

LCD Screen

In extreme cold, the screen movement may slow down and the screen may darken, but this is normal. The screen will recover when it returns to normal temperature.

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 quality sound. 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.

Precautions when creating MP3 disc

●File extensions

- Always add a file extension ".MP3" to MP3 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.

●Logical format (File system)

- When writing MP3 file on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc, please select ISO9660 level 1, 2, Joliet or Romeo as the writing software format. Normal play may not be possible if the disc is recorded on another format. - The folder name and file name can be displayed as the title during MP3 play but the title must be within 16 (Folder Name) or 28 (File Name) single byte alphabetical letters and numerals (excluding an extension).

●Number of files or folders

- The MP3 recording media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations :

1. Maximum number of files : 254
2. Maximum number of folders : 128
3. Some noise may occur depending on the type of encoder software used while recording.

Folder up down function

1. This function enables you to search for a folder on the MP3 CD. The LCD will show the target MP3 CD folder.

[UP] - Folder up

[DN] - Folder down

1. When a desired folder is selected, the CD player will play 1st track of target folder.

Note:

- The folder which contents of no MP3 file will be skipped.

MP3 playing order

When selected for play folder up down functions, files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the CD-ROM writer. Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3 are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer.

For example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy is shown below.
