Additional Information 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 discs. • 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 analogue discs. About MP3 files MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer3, is a music file compression format standard. It compresses audio CD data to approximately 1/10 of its original size. • The unit is compatible with the following standards.

Notes • Be sure to finalize the disc before using on the unit. • When naming an MP3 file, be sure to add the file expansion ".mp3" to the file name. • If you play a high-bit-rate MP3, such as 320 kbps, sound may be intermittent. • During playback of a VBR (variable bit rate) MP3 file or fast-forward/reverse, elapsed playing time may not display accurately. • 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. - 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, MP3 session is played. If the disc has no data in any of these formats, "DISC Error" is displayed. • The unit cannot play back Multi Border recorded MP3. • DVD of sampling rate other than 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz cannot be played. 52
