You cannot play 8 cm (3 in.) CDs.  
Before playing, clean the discs with a  
commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe  
each disc from the center out. Do not use  
solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or antistatic  
spray intended for analog discs.  
Notes on discs  
To keep the disc clean, do not touch the  
surface. Handle the disc by its edge.  
Keep your discs in their cases or disc  
magazines when not in use. Do not subject  
the discs to heat/high temperature. Avoid  
leaving them in parked cars or on  
dashboards/rear trays.  
Music discs encoded with copyright  
protection  
This product is designed to play back discs  
that conform to the Compact Disc (CD)  
standard. Recently, various music discs  
encoded with copyright protection 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.  
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.

Notes  
• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1 and  
level 2, folder names or file names may not be  
displayed correctly.  
• When naming, be sure to add the file extension  
“.MP3” to the file name.  
• If you put the extension “.MP3” to a file other  
than MP3, the player cannot recognize the file  
properly and will generate random noise that  
could damage your speakers.  
• The following discs take a longer time to start  
playback.  
About MP3 files  
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard  
technology and format for compressing a  
sound sequence. The file is compressed to  
about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside  
the range of human hearing are compressed  
while the sounds we can hear are not  
compressed.  
— a disc recorded with complicated tree  
structure.  
— a disc to which data can be added.  
• If you play a high-bit rate MP3 file such as 320  
kbps, sound may be intermittent.  
Recommended MP3 file format  
Sampling frequency  
(Hz)  
32k, 44.1k, 48k  
Bitrate (bps)  
32k to 256k  
Notes on discs  
You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs,  
CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.  
The disc must be in the ISO 9660* level 1 or  
level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the  
expansion format.  
* ISO 9660 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 8 characters in the name, no  
more than 3 characters in the extension  
“.MP3”) and in capital letters. Folder names  
can be no longer than 8 characters. There can  
be no more than 8 nested folder levels. Level  
2 specifications allow file 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.
