performed using the buttons on the system  
having the same or similar names.  
• An 8 cm disc converted to a standard disc  
using an adaptor  
• CD-ROMs  
• CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than those recorded in  
the following formats:  
– music CD format  
– MP3 format that conforms to ISO96601)  
Level 1/Level 2, Joliet, Romeo or Multi  
Session2)  
• A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g.,  
card, heart).

• A disc that has the adhesive, cellophane tape,  
or a sticker still left on it.  
List of playable discs  
Format of discs  
Disc logo  
1)  
ISO9660 Format  
Audio CDs  
The most common international standard for the  
logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM.  
There are several specification levels. In Level 1,  
file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than  
eight characters in the name, no more than three  
characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital  
letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight  
characters. There can be no more than eight nested  
folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file  
names and folder names up to 31 characters long.  
Each folder can have up to 8 trees.  
CD-R/CD-RW  
(audio data/MP3 files)  
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format make  
sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.  
2)  
Multi Session  
This is a recording method that enables adding of  
data using the Track-At-Once method.  
Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called  
the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A  
Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions,  
with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out  
regarded as a single session.  
CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD  
data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks  
in session 2.  
Mixed CD: This format records data on the first  
track and audio (audio CD data) on the second and  
subsequent tracks of a session.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW  
Music discs encoded with  
copyright protection  
technologies  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs cannot be played  
on this system depending upon the recording  
quality or physical condition of the disc, or  
the characteristics of the recording device.  
Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not  
been correctly finalized. For more  
information, see the operating instructions for  
the recording device.  
This product is designed to playback discs that  
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.  
Recently, various music discs encoded with  
copyright protection technologies are marketed  
by some record companies. Please be aware that  
among those discs, there are some that do not  
conform to the CD standard and may not be  
playable by this product.  
• Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may  
not be played back because of scratches, dirt,  
recording condition or the driver’s  
characteristics.  
Cautions when playing a disc  
that is recorded in Multi  
Session  
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi-  
session that have not ended by “closing the  
session” are not supported.  
• The system may be unable to play MP3  
format files that do not have the “.MP3”  
extension.  
• If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is  
recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and  
playback continues until an MP3 session is  
encountered.  
• Attempting to play non-MP3 format files that  
have the “.MP3” extension may result in noise  
or malfunction.  
• If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is  
recognized as an MP3 disc, and playback  
continues until a CD-DA (audio) session is  
encountered.  
• With formats other than ISO9660 level 1 and  
2, folder names or file names may not be  
displayed correctly.  
• The playback range of an MP3 disc is  
determined by the tree structure of files  
produced by analyzing of the disc.  
• A disc with a mixed CD format will be  
recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.  
• The following discs take a longer time to start  
playback.  
– a disc recorded with complicated tree  
structure.  
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.  
– a disc to which data can be added (non-  
finalized disc).

What is the Radio Data  
System?  
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting  
service that allows radio stations to send  
additional information along with the regular  
program signal. RDS is available only on FM  
stations.*  
• Press TUNING MODE repeatedly until “AUTO”  
appears in step 3 above, then press TUNING + or –.  
The frequency indication changes and scanning stops  
when the system tunes in a station (Automatic

Note  
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned  
in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the  
signal is weak.  
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they  
provide the same types of services. If you are not  
familiar with the RDS system, check with your local  
radio stations for details on RDS services in your  
area.  
Receiving RDS broadcasts  
Simply select a station from the FM band.  
When you tune in a station that provides RDS  
services, the station name appears in the display.  
To check the RDS information  
Each time you press DISPLAY, the display  
changes cyclically as follows:

DISTORTION:  
• Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring.  
This may cause a malfunction to the system.  
• When using discs that have glue or similar tacky  
substance on the label side of the disc or that used a  
special ink when the label was printed, there is a  
chance that the disc or label may become attached to  
parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not be  
possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this  
unit to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label  
side of the disc is not sticky before using.  
The following types of disc should not be used:  
– Rental or used discs with attached seals where the  
glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the  
seal on the disc is tacky.  
With 6-ohm loads, both channels driven, from  
120 – 10,000 Hz: rated 20 watts per channel  
minimum RMS power, with no more than 10%  
total harmonic distortion from 250 milliwatts to  
rated output.
