•  This unit can play back the files recorded in 
VBR (variable bit rate).
  The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy 
in elapsed time display, and do not show the 
actual elapsed time. This difference becomes 
noticeable, especially after performing the 
search function.

PRO format.

format.

professional, and voice format.

Windows Media
®
 Audio.
  –  WMA formatted files copy-protected with 
DRM.
  –  Files which have the data such as WAVE, 
ATRAC3, etc.
•  The search function works but search speed is 
not constant.
Changing the source
•  If you change the source, playback also stops 
(without ejecting the disc).
  Next time you select “CD” for the playback 
source, disc play starts from where it has been 
stopped previously.
Ejecting a disc
•  If the ejected disc is not removed within 
15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted 
again into the loading slot to protect it from 
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)
General settings—PSM 
•  If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from 
“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the 
volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the 
unit automatically changes the volume level 
to “VOL 30.”
Other main functions 
•  If you try to assign a title to a 31st disc or to 
the 31st station frequency, “NAMEFULL” 
flashes on the display. Delete unwanted titles 
before assignment.
•  Titles assigned to discs in the CD changer can 
also be shown if you playback the disc from 
the unit.
