Daily Operations—Playback 
(see pages 7 to 9)
Listening to the Radio:
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, 
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure 
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If 
this happens, preset the stations again.
Playing Back a Disc:
• When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the 
disc tray.
• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3 playback...
– MP3 discs require a longer readout time than regular 
CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file 
configuration.)
– Some MP3 files cannot be played back and will be 
skipped. This results from their recording processes and 
conditions.
– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 
2 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3 files with the extension 
code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/
lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a 
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 128 kbps. 
This System cannot play back files made at a bit rate of 
less than 64 kbps.
– Playback order of MP3 tracks may be different from 
what you have intended when recording (see below). If a 
folder does not include MP3 tracks, they are ignored.
– This System plays back MP3 tracks as follows.
• This System can recognize up to 999 tracks in a disc. Also, 
the System can recognize up to 256 tracks per group and up 
to 99 groups in a disc.
– Even if a folder contains no playable files, the folder is 
also counted in the total folder number.
– Playable files which do not belong to any groups are 
handled as Group 1.
Playing Back a Portable Audio Device:
• When QP Link fails due to a weak sound signal from the 
AUX jack, Auto Standby may turn the System off even if 
you can hear the sound from the speakers.
In such cases, adjust the volume level of the component 
louder so that the System can detect the sound signal 
properly.
• Changing from AUX to another source while QP Link 
works will deactivate QP Link temporarily.
In this case, the following reactivate QP Link:
– Pressing QP LINK on the remote control
– Unplugging the component from the AUX jack, then 
plugging it in again
• If you press STANDBY/ON  to turn the System off or 
if preset Timer turns the System off while QP Link works, 
the System will deactivate QP Link temporarily.
In such cases, the following reactivate QP Link:
– When the sound signal from the AUX jack stops or is too 
weak for about 30 seconds after the System is turned off
– When you turn on the power again
• QP Link may start working when you just plug in the 
component to the AUX jack or unplug it. This is not a 
malfunction.
Daily Operations—Sound&Other Adjustments 
(see pages 10 and 11)
Adjusting the Volume:
• Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or 
putting on the headphones.
Adjusting the Sound:
• This function also affects the sound through the 
headphones.
Setting the Clock:
• “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this 
happens, reset the clock.
Radio Data System Operations 
(see pages 12 
and 13)
• If the System takes time to show the Radio Data System 
information—PS, PTY, RT signals, “PS,” “PTY,” or “RT” 
will appear while searching.
