Getting Started NOTE: This CD player uses a semiconductor laser. To ensure stable operation, it is recommended to use the set indoors at a temperature of 5C (41F) ~ 35C (95F). Getting Started
Before playing MP3 or WMA (Windows Media Audio) files
There are many music distribution sites on the Internet allowing you to download music files in MP3 or WMA format. The music (files) downloaded from such sites can be stored on CD-R or CD-RW discs and played on the this CD player. Windows Media and Windows are registered trademarks or trademarks in the United States and other countries of the Microsoft Corporation of the United States. According to copyright laws, recordings you have made should only be used for your personal enjoyment and must not be used in other ways without the consent of the copyright holder. NOTE: This CD player is compatible with MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3 standards (sampling frequency of 44.1 and 48 kHz). It is not compatible with MPEG-2 Audio Layer-3, MPEG-2.5 Audio Layer-3, MP1 or MP2 standards. The signals are output with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. When writing MP3 files on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, set the writing softwares format to ISO9660 Level 1. The files may not play properly if they are recorded in other formats. Also note that with some writing software it is not possible to record in ISO9660 format. If so, use a different program allowing you to record in ISO9660 format. With MP3 files, the higher the bit rate, the better the sound quality. The compatible bit rate range is 32 to 320 kbps for MP3 files, 64 to 160 kbps for WMA files. We recommend using MP3 files with bit rates of 128 kbps or greater on the this CD player. Be sure to add the extensions.MP3 or.WMA to MP3 or WMA files, respectively. Files with extensions other than.MP3 or.WMA or files without extensions cannot be played. (On Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by giving the extension.MP3 after the file name consisting up a maximum of 8 alphanumeric characters and storing the files on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.) This CD player is not compatible with packet write software or playlists. The time may not be displayed properly when searching or pausing during variable bit rate playback. The time display cannot be switched TOTAL REMAIN using the TIME button on the remote control unit.

Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired with adhesive, etc. Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or labels is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have been removed. Such discs could get caught inside the player and damage it.

Cleaning discs

If there are fingerprints or dirt on discs, wipe them off before using the disc. If not the sound quality could be reduced and the sound may be broken. Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to clean discs.

Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens, pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs. Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from a cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try to dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.

CD-R/RW Playback MP3 and WMA Decoders The DCM-390/290 play finalized CD-R/RW discs containing MP3 or WMA audio files. When they are in MP3 or WMA format, a single CD-R/RW disc can contain up to 10 times more tracks than an ordinary audio CD. CD-R/RW discs containing a large number of MP3/WMA files are ideal for use in long-play applications such as background music. HDCD Decoding (DCM-390 only) Advanced Multilevel Noise Shaping DAC The DCM-390/290 features a Multilevel Noise Shaping DAC. This multi-level modulation powerfully removes the adverse effects of jitter, and because it is built into the output amp, a clean analog output with suppressed high-frequency interference can be directly obtained. 8-Times Oversampling Digital Filter Increasing the oversampling frequency by a factor of eight makes possible an extraordinary degree of attenuation and reduces frequency irregularities in the audio range to an absolute minimum. Remote Control IN/OUT When the DCM-390/290 is cable connected to an amplifier or receiver that supports the Remote Control IN/OUT feature, you can operate the DCM-390/290 via the remote sensor on the amplifier or receiver. This feature is very handy when the DCM-390/290 is placed in another room. Full Selection of Program Playback The DCM-390/290 lets you combine up to 32 tracks from the five or fewer CDs which are loaded. 3-Mode Random Playback Full Random/Program Random/Disc Sequential Random Intelligent Disc Scan The Disc Skip button can rotate the carousel tray clockwise or counterclockwise when searching for a disc. (Counter-clockwise rotation is operable only by remote controller.)
