Notes on discs

To keep a disc clean, do not touch its surface. Handle the disc by its edge. Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines when not in use. Do not subject discs to heat/high temperature. Avoid leaving them in a parked car or on a dashboard/rear tray. Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink/ residue. Such discs may stop spinning when used, causing a malfunction, or may ruin the disc.
Do not use any discs with labels or stickers attached. The following malfunctions may result from using such discs: Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or sticker peeling off and jamming the eject mechanism). Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g., playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to warp. Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs. You cannot play 8 cm (3 1/4 in) CDs.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs
Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the equipment used for its recording or the condition of the disc) may not play on this unit. You cannot play a CD-R/a CD-RW that is not finalized. The unit is compatible with the ISO 9660 level 1/ level 2 format, Joliet/Romeo in the expansion format, and Multi Session. The maximum number of: folders (albums): 150 (including root and empty folders). files (tracks) and folders contained in a disc: 300 (if a folder/file names contain many characters, this number may become less than 300). displayable characters for a folder/file name is 32 (Joliet), or 64 (Romeo). When the disc is recorded in Multi Session, only the first track of the first session format is recognized and played (any other format is skipped). The priority of the format is CD-DA and MP3/WMA. When the first track is a CD-DA, only CD-DA of the first session is played. When the first track is not a CD-DA, the MP3/ WMA session is played. If the disc has no data in any of these formats, NO MUSIC is displayed.

About MP3 files

MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3, is a music file compression format standard. It compresses audio CD data to approximately 1/10 of its original size. ID3 tag versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 apply to MP3 only. ID3 tag is 15/30 characters (1.0 and 1.1), or 63/126 characters (2.2, 2.3 and 2.4). When naming an MP3 file, be sure to add the file extension.mp3 to the file name. During playback or fast-forward/reverse of a VBR (variable bit rate) MP3 file, elapsed playing time may not display accurately.

Note If you play a high-bit-rate MP3, such as 320 kbps, sound may be intermittent.

About WMA files

WMA, which stands for Windows Media Audio, is a music file compression format standard. It compresses audio CD data to approximately 1/22* of its original size. WMA tag is 63 characters. When naming a WMA file, be sure to add the file extension.wma to the file name. During playback or fast-forward/reverse of a VBR (variable bit rate) WMA file, elapsed playing time may not display accurately.
* only for 64 kbps Note Playback of the following WMA files is not supported. lossless compression copyright-protected
Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
