About CD-TEXT (PSD230)
CD-TEXT is a new type of music CD feature that includes the recording
of character information of the performer names, album name, track
names, etc., in addition to the audio information contained in music CD.
The character information is recorded in an area which has not been
utilized by previous music CDs. This means that the CD-TEXT discs can
be played back in the same way as ordinary music CD discs on any CD-
TEXT compatible player such as the PSD230.
* The PSD230 detects the CD-TEXT compatibility of each disc auto-
matically.
The display can show the character information including the album
name, track names, performer names, verse writer names, music
composer names, arranger names, message and music genre. How-
ever, the content of the character information is variable depending on
discs.
* For detailed operating procedures for displaying the character
information in the CD-TEXT, read the description on page 9 of this
manual.
The PSD230 can display up to 10 characters at a time. If the character
information in a disc is longer, the characters are scrolled from the left
to the right on the display.
* Scrolling refers to a method of displaying characters by moving them.
The PSD230 is capable of smooth scrolling by feeding characters
one by one.
About CD-RW Playback
The PSD220/230 can play back CD-RW (ReWritable) discs as well as
ordinary music CD and CD-R (Recordable) discs.
* The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain properly-recorded TOC
information so that they can be played back. With the CD recorder
system, writing the TOC information in a disc is referred to as
finalizing the disc. A disc cannot be recognized as a CD disc and
played back unless it has been finalized properly. For details, please
read the instruction manual provided with a CD recorder.
* TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains information such as
the total number of tracks and total playing time of the disc.
* The PSD220/230 can only play discs recorded in the CD-DA format
designed for music reproduction. Do not attempt to play a disc
containing data, such as a CD-ROM for PCs, on this unit.
* As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates partial change of the
player setup, it may take longer to read the TOC information com-
pared to a music CD or CD-R disc.
* Because CD-RW discs have lower reflectivity than CDs and CD-R
discs, dirt on the surface of a CD-RW disc can generate noise, make
the CD-RW disc unplayable, or cause misoperation. If any of these
symptons occur, wipe the surface of the CD-RW disc as indicated on
page 16.
