Audio operation precautions

Compact disc (CD) player

CAUTION

Do not force a compact disc into the CD insert slot. This could damage the CD and/or CD player.
Trying to load a CD with the CD door closed could damage the CD and/or CD player.
Only one CD can be loaded into the CD player at a time.

Only use high quality 4.7 in (12 cm) round discs that have the “COMPACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO” logo on the disc or packaging.
During cold weather or rainy days, the player may malfunction due to the humidity.
If this occurs, remove the CD and dehumidify or ventilate the player completely.
The player may skip while driving on rough roads.
The CD player sometimes cannot function when the compartment temperature is extremely high or low.
Decrease/increase the temperature before use.
Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight.
CDs that are in poor condition or are dirty, scratched or covered with fingerprints may not work properly.
The following CDs may not work properly:

Copy control compact discs (CCCD)
Recordable compact discs (CD-R)
Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW)

Do not use the following CDs as they may cause the CD player to malfunction:

3.1 in (8 cm) discs with an adapter
CDs that are not round
CDs with a paper label
CDs that are warped, scratched, or have abnormal edges

This audio system can only play prerecorded CDs. It has no capability to record or burn CDs.
If the CD cannot be played, one of the following messages will be displayed.

CHECK DISC

Confirm that the CD is inserted correctly (the label side is facing up, etc.).
Confirm that the CD is not bent or warped and it is free of scratches.

PRESS EJECT

This is an error due to excessive temperature inside the player. Remove the CD by pressing the EJECT button. After a short time, reinsert the CD. The CD can be played when the temperature of the player returns to normal.

UNPLAYABLE

The file is unplayable in this audio system (only MP3 orWMA(if so equipped) CD).

Compact disc with MP3 or WMA

Terms

MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the most well-known compressed digital audio file format. This format allows for near “CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an audio track from CD-ROM can reduce the file size by approximately a 10:1 ratio with virtually no perceptible loss in quality. MP3 compression removes the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the human ear doesn’t hear.
WMA—Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is a compressed audio format created by Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA codec offers greater file compression than the MP3 codec, enabling storage of more digital audio tracks in the same amount of space when compared to MP3s at the same level of quality.
Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of bits per second used by a digital music file.
The size and quality of a compressed digital audio file is determined by the bit rate used when encoding the file.
Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency is the rate at which the samples of a signal are converted from analog to digital (A/D conversion) per second.
Multisession — Multisession is one of the methods for writing data to media. Writing data once to the media is called a single session, and writing more than once is called a multisession.
ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that contains information about the digital music file such as song title, artist, encoding bit rate, track time duration, etc. ID3 tag information is displayed on the Artist/song title line on the display.

Playback order chart

Playback order

Music playback order of a CD with MP3 or WMA files is as illustrated.

The names of folders not containing MP3 or WMA files are not shown in the display.
If there is a file in the top level of the disc, “Root Folder” is displayed.
The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software.
Therefore, the files might not play in the desired order.

Troubleshooting guide

Symptom	Cause and Counte
Cannot play	Check if the disc was inserted correctly.
	Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
	Check if there is condensation inside the player. If there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the player.
	If there is a temperature increase error, the CD player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
	If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and MP3/WMA files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will be played.
	Files with extensions other than “.MP3”,“.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma” cannot be played. In addition, the character codes and number of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the specifications.
	Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
	Check if the disc is protected by copyright.
Poor sound quality	Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Poor sound quality	Bit rate may be too low.
It takes a relatively long time before the music starts playing.	If there are many folders or file levels on the MP3/WMA disc, or if it is a multisession disc, some time may be required before the music starts playing.
Music cuts off or skips	The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might not match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.
Skipping with high bit rate files	Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.
Moves immediately to the next song when playing	When a non-MP3/WMA file has been given an extension of “.MP3”, “.WMA”, .“mp3”or “.wma”, or when play is prohibited by copyright protection, there will be approximately 5 seconds of no sound and then the player will skip to the next song.
Songs do not play back in the desired order	The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software. Therefore, the files might not play in the desired order.
