MP3 files
< This unit can play MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW.
< File names of MP3 should be alphanumeric characters. This
unit cannot display symbols and full-size or double-byte
characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.) correctly. Also, be
sure to use the file extension. (“.mp3”)
< MP3 files are monaural or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3
format. This unit can play MP3 files with sampling frequency
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, bit-rate 320 kbps or less.
< The disc must be finalized in order to play.
< The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.
< When more than 512 files (including folders) are recorded on
the disc, the unit might not be able to play it correctly.
< When a MP3 disc is loaded, it may take several minutes until
the unit can start to play depending on the numbers of
recorded files or the complexity of the folder tree.
Discs
Discs which can be played on this unit:
• Conventional audio CDs bearing the COMPACT DISC
DIGITAL AUDIO logo on the label:
• Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs
• MP3 CDs
Note:
< Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of
the recording, some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be playable.
< Copy-protected discs and other discs that do not conform to
the CD standard may not play back correctly in this player. If
you use such discs in this unit, TEAC Corporation and its
subsidiaries cannot be responsible for any consequences or
guarantee the quality of reproduction. If you experience
problems with such non-standard discs, you should contact
the producers of the disc.
< Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side up.
(Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.)
< To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the
center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by
the edges.
How to hold the disc
< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from
the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft,
dry cloth:
< Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or
fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals
will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.
< Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust
and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”
< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and
temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
< Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged.
Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing
mechanisms.
< CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of
heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important
that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight
will fall on them, and away from sources of heat such as
radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
< Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs aren’t recommended, as the
label side might be sticky and damage the unit.
< Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do
not use any protective coating spray.
< Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information
on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen,
as this may cause damage to the recorded side.
< Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and
cause them to malfunction.
< Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal, heart
shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage
the unit:
< If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-
R/CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or
contact the disc manufacturer directly.
