Disc playback
Chapter 5:
Disc playback
This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD
format and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but cannot
record on them. Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not
be playable due to the state of the disc or the device that was
used for recording.
MP3:
MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands
for MPEG Audio Layer 3. MP3 is a type of audio code which is
processed by significant compression from the original audio
source with very little loss in sound quality.
• This system supports MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer 3 (Sampling
rates: 8 kHz to 48 kHz; Bit rates: 32 kbps to 320 kbps).
• During VBR file playback, time counter in the display
may differ from its actual playback time.
WMA:
WMA (Windows Media Audio) files are Advanced System
Format files that include audio files which are compressed
with Windows Media Audio codec. WMA is developed by
Microsoft as an audio format file for Windows Media Player.
• This system supports WMA (Sampling rates: 32 kHz/
44.1 kHz/48 kHz; Bit rates: 64 kbps to 320 kbps).
• During VBR file playback, time counter in the display
may differ from its actual playback time.

• If the power fails whilst the tray is open, wait until the
power is restored.
• Be sure to place 8 cm disc in the middle of the disc tray.
Note
• Due to the structure of the disc information, it takes longer
to read an MP3/WMA disc than a normal CD
(approximately 20 to 90 seconds).
• When the beginning of the first track is reached during fast
reverse, the unit will enter the playback mode (only for CD).
• Rewritable multi-session discs with unfinished writing, can
still be played.
• If TV or radio interference occurs during CD operation,
move the unit away from the TV or radio.
Tip
• When no operation has done in CD mode and the audio
file is not played for more than 20 minutes, the power will
automatically turn off. In this case it is required that the
Auto power off is switched to ON.
• Auto power off can be switched to ON/OFF (page 36).
