Basic Operations
Notes on MP3 discs

Playing a CD/MP3 disc
1 Press
PUSH OPEN/CLOSE on the unit, and place a disc with the label side up on the CD compartment. To close the CD compartment, press PUSH OPEN/ CLOSE on the unit.

2 Press

on the unit ( on the remote) . The unit plays all the tracks/MP3 files once. When you place MP3 discs, �MP3� appears in the display after the unit reads the file information.

Audio CD

When the disc is inserted, the unit reads all the files on that disc. During this time, �READING� is displayed. If there are many folders or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may take a long time for play to begin or for the next MP3 file to start play. We recommend that you do not save unnecessary folders or files other than MP3 ones in the disc to be used for MP3 listening. A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped. Maximum number of files: 255 Maximum number of folders: 150 (including the root folder) Maximum number of folders and files in total: 256 Maximum directory levels: 8 Folder names and file names can be displayed with up to 30 characters including quotation marks. The characters A - Z, 0 - 9, and _ can be displayed on this unit. Other characters are displayed as �_�. This unit conforms to Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 of the ID3 tag format. When the file has the ID3 tag information, �song title�, �artist name� and �album name� can be displayed. If the file does not have the ID3 tag information, �NO TITLE� appears instead of song title, �NO ARTIST� appears instead of artist name and �NO ALBUM� appears instead of album name. The ID3 tag information can be displayed with up to 15 characters. When naming, be sure to add the file extension �mp3� to the file name. If you put the extension �mp3� to a file other than an MP3 file, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers. The file name does not correspond to the ID3 tag.
