Playing back discs
This system has been designed to play back the following discs—
CD, finalized CD-R/CD-RW (recorded in audio CD format) and 
CD-R/CD-RW (in MP3 format).
• This system is not compatible with the other discs such as DVD, 
DVD-R, and DVD-RW.
Notes on MP3:
• The system can only recognize files (tracks) with “MP3” or 
“mp3” as the extensions, which can be in any combination of 
upper and lower case.
• It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1 kHz 
sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.
• You can play back the discs containing the tracks in music CD 
format or MP3 files in ISO 9660 format.
• Some MP3 tracks or discs may not be played back because of 
their characteristics or recording conditions.
• MP3 discs require a longer readout time than normal discs.
• This system recognizes up to 999 tracks on a disc (or less 
depending on the recording condition of a disc).
1. Turn the LOCK/RELEASE knob 
counterclockwise to open the disc 
compartment door.
2. Place a disc, with its label side up as 
shown above.
3. Close the disc compartment door and turn 
the knob to “LOCK” position.
To remove the disc, open the disc compartment door in stop 
mode.
 You can place an 8 cm disc without an adapter.
 If the disc cannot be read correctly (because it is scratched, for 
example), “NO PLAY” or “NO DISC” appears on the display.
 You can place a disc while listening to the other source.
