HOW TO USE ...
Most of the common functions are explained in the previous chapter "controls and functions" In this chapter
we talk about the functions that need a little more explanation.
 PLAYING MP3 FILES:
The CD player automatically detects if a CD contains MP3 files. The MCD580 is able to read several
different MP3 formats but due to display limitations it can't show the ID3-tags (song title/performer/...). The
CD may contain up to 999 MP3- files, spread over maximum 255 folders. When the MP3-files are sorted in
separate folders, the MCD580 will list all files as if no folders exist.
The MP3-files may have the following file extensions: .mp3 ~ .MP3 ~ .mP3 ~ .Mp3
Check the technical specifications to see which MP3-files are allowed.
 PLAYING CD-R and CD-RW:
Apart from normal audio CD's the MCD580 can play both CD-R (CD recordable) and CD-RW (CD
rewriteable). Please note that you should always use the "disc at once" and "track at once" disc writing
options! If the disc is multi session, it will only play the first session:
if the first session is CD-DA you can only play CD-DA tracks.
o
if the first session is MP3 you can only play MP3 files.
o
 SLEEP MODE:
The CD player automatically shuts off the transport and laser after about 15 minutes (when in pause or
cue mode). This extends the life of your motor drive and laser. During sleep mode the display shows the
word "SLEEP". To wake up the player, just press the cue or play button, the display turns to normal and is
ready to receive instructions.
 RELAY FUNCTION:
Relay play allows consecutive playback for two decks, perfect for pubs etc.
