Troubleshooting

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs and mechanism clean.

Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center

hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc:
• Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Cleaning the System
• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is heavily stained, wipe

it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then
wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get its paint

peeled off, be careful about the following:

– DO NOT wipe it hard.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact for a long time.

Basic and Common Operations

(see page 3)

and starts playing back if the source is ready or connected.

Playing Back a Disc

(see page 4)

• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used

for MP3/WMA operations.

– This System can show the Tag data (Version 1).
– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than

regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/
file configuration.)

– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be

skipped. This result from their recording processes and
conditions.

– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or

Level 2 for the disc format.

– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the

extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the
letter case—upper/lower).

– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a

sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This
System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than
64 kbps.

– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from

the one you have intended while recording. If a folder
does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.

• This System can recognize up to 99 groups in a disc. The

total number of groups and tracks (in a disc) that can be
recognized by the System is 512 (for MP3/WMA).

If you are having a problem with your System, check this list
for a possible solution before calling for service.
