MP3/WMA OPERATION 
MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files are digital audio files that are compressed to 
allow more files on a single CD. This unit can play MP3/WMA directly from files contained on a CD-
R/RW using the buttons on the receiver (or optional remote) as described below. Many types of 
software are available for converting audio files into MP3/WMA formats. Jensen recommends Nero, 
MusicMatch Jukebox or Roxio Easy CD Creator. Depending on the media type and recording 
method, some CD-R/RW's may be incompatible with this unit. The unit supports playback of 
MP3/WMA and CDDA (CDA), Mixed-Mode CDs and CD-Extra (including multisession discs), but 
discs on which the session has not been closed will not play.

recording  media  and  accepted formats are limited. When writing  MP3/WMA,  pay attention to the 
following restrictions.

using CD-RW, use full format rather than quick format to prevent malfunction.
