Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the unit, use this
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem.
DECK A (the CD player
section)
The player does not start playing.
• Insert a disc.
• Place the disc properly.
• Clean the disc (page 4).
• Place the disc with the label side up.
• Moisture condensation has formed inside the
unit. Take the disc out and leave the unit turned
on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates (page 4).
• Press POWER to turn the unit on.
DECK A (MP3 playback)
MP3 files cannot be played back.
• You cannot play MP3 files on DECK B.
• Recording was not performed according to the
ISO 9660 level 1 or level 2 format, or the Joliet
or Romeo in the expansion format.
• The file extension “.MP3” is not added to the file
name.
• Files are not stored in MP3 format.
MP3 files take longer to play back than others.
• The following discs take a longer time to start
playback.
– a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.
– a disc to which data can be added (non-
finalized disc).
System Limitations
“TOC Reading” appears in the
display for a long time
Regardless of the disc, “TOC Reading” appears in the
display of DECK B longer than in that of DECK A.
This is because, DECK B is a CD-R/RW writer and
reads various version information while setting
optimum recording condition.
Limitations when recording over an
existing track
• The correct remaining recording time may not be
displayed.
• The remaining recording time may be inaccurately
displayed relative to the total recorded time.
• You can record up to 99 tracks.
Note
When you turn on the unit, you will hear some
mechanical noise from the unit. This is not a
malfunction.
