To listen to an MP3 CD
This CD player allows you to play MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-
3) files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (recordable CDs), and
CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) in ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet,
and Romeo formats. Each disc may have a maximum of 16
trees, 100 folders and 255 files. During MP3 playback, the unit
can display ID3 tag information. For information concerning
ID3 tag, refer to “CD text and MP3 title display” on page 5-29.
Push the CD button if a disc is already in the CD player.
The display shows “READING”, then playback begins. The
folder number, the track number and the playing time will
appear on the display.

● While listening to a disc on which CD-DA (CD-Digital
Audio) and MP3 files have both been recorded, you can
switch between reading of the CD-DA, reading of the
MP3 files, and the external audio input mode by pressing
the CD button for 2 seconds or longer (until you hear a
beep).
● With a disc that contains both CD-DA and MP3 files, the
CD-DA files are automatically played first.
● The playback sound quality differs depending on the
encoding software and the bit rate. For details, refer to the
user manual of your encoding software.
● Depending on file/folder configurations on a disc, it may
take some time before playback starts.
● MP3 encode software and writing software are not sup-
plied with this unit.
● You may encounter trouble in playing an MP3 or display-
ing the information of MP3 files recorded with certain
writing software or CD recorders (CD-R/RW drivers).
● If you record too many folders or files other than MP3
onto a disc, it may take some time before playback starts.
● This unit does not record MP3 files.
● For information concerning CD-Rs/RWs, refer to “Notes
on CD-Rs/RWs” on page 5-40.
CAUTION
!
● Attempting to play a file not in the MP3 format
which has the “.mp3” file name may produce noise
from the speakers and speaker damage, and can
damage your hearing.
