Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows Logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in both the United States and other countries. MP3/WMA PLAYBACK • This player can play MP3/WMA discs recorded in ISO9660 format. • The player plays the files with ".mp3/.WMA" extension only. • The maximum file number in a disc is 650. (Including the number of folders.) • The maximum folder layer number is 8. • When playing a MP3/WMA disc, it may take more than 30 seconds depending on the number of files and folder layer structure. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the disc, and the side on which the label is printed is the back. Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs, the ER2500 reads the information recorded on the disc from underneath without contacting it using a beam of laser light. Therefore, the performance of a compact disc will not degrade like conventional analog records. Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side. To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following locations: • In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater. • In a place which is damp or dirty. • In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as near a window. Always keep the disc surface clean. When cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a special compact disc cleaner and wipe as shown below. • Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog records, as this will adversely affect the disc surface. Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases. 4
