A CD-TEXT disc is a new type of music CD that includes, in addition to the music found on a conventional CD, text data containing

the artist’s name, the album name, track names, etc. This text data is recorded in an area that was unused on music CDs.

Accordingly, a CD-TEXT disc can be played on any conventional CD player, but the text data can be viewed only if the disc is played

on a player that supports the CD-TEXT function, such as the PMD330/331/340.

The player determines automatically whether the current disc is a conventional CD or a CD-TEXT disc.

This player can display the album name, track name, the artist’s name, the songwriter’s name, the composer’s name, and the

arranger’s name, as long as that information is recorded on the disc. Not all of this information will be present on every disc.

For details on how CD-TEXT is displayed, refer to the description of operation found later in this guide.

- This player can display 12 characters of text at one time. If the text data is longer than 12 characters, the text will scroll across the

display from right to left.

- Some CD-TEXT discs include the called “highlights”. This CD player does not support the Highlight Scan function to play the

highlights in sequence.

- The following languages can be displayed as CD-TEXT: English, French, Spanish, and German.

In addition to conventional music CDs and CD-R discs, this CD player can also play CD-RW discs.

- In order to play a CD-R or CD-RW disc, the TOC* must be recorded properly.

The process of writing the TOC information to the disc is called “finalizing,” and if this task was not completed properly, the disc

cannot be played back because it will not be recognized properly as a music CD by a regular CD player.

For details, refer to the instruction manual provided with the CD recorder.

- This CD player can only play discs that were recorded in the CD-DA format. Never attempt to “play” a CD-ROM or similar disc

containing computer data.

- When playing a CD-RW disc, it sometimes takes longer to read the TOC compared with a music CD or a CD-R disc.

- This CD player may not be able to play some CD-RW discs properly, depending on the conditions under which the disc was

recorded.

* “TOC” stands for “Table of Contents,” and contains information such as the number of tracks on a disc and the total playback time.
