5. HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
• Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use
of such discs may cause misoperation or
damage.
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.
• 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.
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.
Storage
• 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.
• 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.
Ball-point pen
Roughness
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.
• Never stick labels on the surface of the
compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil
or pen.
• After using special compact disc cleaner, let
the compact disc dry off well before playing it.
• 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.
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.

MP3 Mode Operations
What is MP3?
MP3 playing order
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.
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.
Precautions when creating MP3 disc
GFile 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.
Example of a medium’s folder/file hierarchy
GLogical 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).
GNumber 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
