Owner`s manual

1. Be sure to use discs with following
marks only for the unit to play:
2. The unit cannot play a CD-R and
CD-RW that is not finalized.
(Please refer to the manual of your
CD-R/CD-RW recorder or CD-R/
CD-RW software for more information
on finalization process).
3. Depending on the recording status,
conditions of the disc and the
equipment used for the recording,
some CD-Rs/CD-RWs may not be
played on this unit. (See *1)
*1:To have more reliable play back,
please see following
recommendations:
a. Use CD-RWs with speed 1x to
4x and write with speed 1x to 2x.
b.Use CD-Rs with speed 1x to 8x
and write with speed 1x to 2x.
c. Do not play a CD-RW which has
been written for more than 5 times.
C. Notes on MP3 files:
1. The disc must be in the ISO9660 level
1 or level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo
in the expansion format.
2. When naming a MP3 file, be sure the
file name extension is “.MP3”.
3. For a non-MP3 file, even though the
file name extension is “.MP3”, the unit
cannot recognize it.

OPERATION
13
The audio DSP automatically identifies
the supported bit rate and mode, and
sampling frequency. MP3 and WMA must
be identified by the microcontroller.
CAUTION: VBR of WMA can be played
back if the bit rate is 48 kbps or higher.
If a bit rate of less than 48 kbps exists in
a stream, that stream cannot be correctly
played back.
You are suggested to play the WMA
stream data with the sampling frequency
of 44.1kHz and the bit rate over 128kbps,
then you can get better effect.
