MP3 Playback on CD-R/CD-RW
This unit is incorporated with an MP3 decoder. You can play
back MP3 files (tracks) recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-
ROMs.

What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG)
Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression
ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format, one CD-
R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular
CD can.
* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio data will
consume. The unit used is Kbps (1000 bits per second).
To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit
rate for encoding (recording) is 128 Kbps.
MP3 File Compatibility
· This player can only read MP3 files that are recorded in the format
that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2.
· The player can read or play an MP3 file only with the extension code
--".mp3".
· ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.
* An MP3 file can contain file information called "ID3 Tag" where its album
name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There are two versionsID3v1
(ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag version 2).

Listening precautions
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue
use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are an open-air type designed
to let you hear outside sounds, don't turn up the volume so high that
you can't hear what's around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts
to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be
loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE
your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
· Start your volume control at a low setting.
· Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
· Set the dial and leave it there.

Main Features
MP3 Playback on CD-R/CD-RW
This unit is incorporated with an MP3 decoder. You can play
back MP3 files (tracks) recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-
ROMs.
Electronic anti-Shock Protection (ESP)
Even if the player is knocked or jolted while listening to a disc,

What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG)
Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression
ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format, one CD-
R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular
CD can.
* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio data will
consume. The unit used is Kbps (1000 bits per second).
To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit
rate for encoding (recording) is 128 Kbps.
MP3 File Compatibility
· This player can only read MP3 files that are recorded in the format
that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2.
· The player can read or play an MP3 file only with the extension code
--".mp3".
· ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.
* An MP3 file can contain file information called "ID3 Tag" where its album
name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There are two versionsID3v1
(ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag version 2).

Listening precautions
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue
use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are an open-air type designed
to let you hear outside sounds, don't turn up the volume so high that
you can't hear what's around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts
to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be
loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE
your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
· Start your volume control at a low setting.
· Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
· Set the dial and leave it there.

Usable Discs
This unit has been designed to play back the following discs:
· Audio CD
· CD Recordable (CD-R)
· CD ReWritable (CD-RW)
In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio data
recorded on CD-Text, CD-G (CD Graphics) and CD-Extra.
Notes on playing a CD-R or CD-RW:
· The player can play back only finalized CD-Rs/CD-RWs.
· The player can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal
computer only if it has been recorded in the CD audio format or
recorded in MP3 format.
· Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played back because of their
disc characteristics, damage or stains.
· CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the
fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.
· MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time.
(It differs due to the complexity of the group/file configuration.)
· When both audio CD format tracks and MP3 files are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW, this player plays back only one of them which is
recognized first.

recorded on CD-Text, CD-G (CD Graphics) and CD-Extra.
Notes on playing a CD-R or CD-RW:
· The player can play back only finalized CD-Rs/CD-RWs.
· The player can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal
computer only if it has been recorded in the CD audio format or
recorded in MP3 format.
· Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played back because of their
disc characteristics, damage or stains.
· CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the
fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.
· MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time.
(It differs due to the complexity of the group/file configuration.)
· When both audio CD format tracks and MP3 files are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW, this player plays back only one of them which is
recognized first.

Press and hold GROUP while loading an
MP3 disc.
· Each time you press and hold the button,
Group play turns on ("On group") or off ("Off
group") alternately.
To cancel Group play, press and hold GROUP
again so that "Off group" appears on the display.
· When Group play is turned on ("On group"), you can select a
group and play back files in a group by pressing GROUP (then move
to another group).
· When Group play is turned off ("Off group"), you can select and
play back files in the same way as you select tracks for an audio CD.
(Indications are also the same as while playing an audio CD.)
To skip groups during Group play
Press GROUP repeatedly while loading
an MP3 disc.
· Each time you press the button, the next group
is selected, and the first file in that group starts
playing.

MP3 group/file configuration
How are MP3 files recorded and played back?
MP3 "files (tracks)" can be recorded in "group" --folders or
directories, in PC terminology.
During recording, the files and groups can be arranged in a way
similar to arranging files and folders/directories of computer data.
"Root" is similar to the root of a tree. Every file and group can be
linked to the root.
In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth of
nested directories--so-called "hierarchy"--is eight (inclusive of
the root).
Playback order, file search order, and group search order of the
MP3 files recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or
encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different
from the one you have intended while recording the groups and
the files.
The illustration above shows an ordinary example of how MP3
files are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played
back, and how they are searched on this player.
· The numbers in circles next to the MP3 files (
) indicate the
playback order and search order of the MP3 files. Normally this
player plays back MP3 files in the recorded order.
· The numbers inside the groups indicate the playback order and
search order of the groups on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit
plays back MP3 files in the groups in the recorded order.
The group marked with asterisk (*) will be skipped since they
are not including any MP3 files.

Reinforcing the Bass
You can reinforce the bass sound--HBS (Hyper-Bass Sound).
Press HBS.
· Each time you press the button, Group play
turns on ("On Hbs") or off ("Off Hbs")
alternately.
To cancel Hyper-Bass Sound, press HBS again
so that "Off Hbs" appears on the display.
Using Electronic Anti-Shock Protection
With Electronic anti-Shock Protection (ESP) turned on, playback will
not be interrupted but will continue normally if the player is knocked or
jolted while listening to a disc.
· This function minimizes sound interruption caused by vibrations, by
utilizing audio data stored in the buffer before being reproduced as
sounds.
· While playing an MP3 disc, ESP is always activated though
the ESP indicator is not lit. (You cannot cancel it).
Press ESP/RESUME, while loading an
audio CD disc, so that the ESP indicator
lights up on the display.
· Each time you press the button, the ESP
indicator lights up or goes off alternately.
· When ESP is turned on, the data is stored--:
For audio CD format discs: Up to 45-second signals
For MP3 discs:
Up to 100-seconds signals
To cancel ESP, press ESP/RESUME again so that the ESP
indicator goes off.
ESP is automatically canceled when the voltage power
drops (below 1.7 V).
Preventing Unintended Operations
You can prevent unintended operations while carrying the player, etc.
Slide the HOLD switch to the right (in
the direction of the arrow) to lock the
buttons.
· When the HOLD switch is set to the right
position, no button can work. If you press a
button, "HOLD" will appear on the display.
