Categorizing folders
6. Abnormal smell — If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected, immediately turn the power
OFF and pull out the power cord. Contact your dealer or nearest service center.
As MP3 and WMA files are compressed into high-quality sound files at an extremely
high rate of compression, it is possible to record several times more tracks than audio
CDs onto a single medium. It is therefore convenient to split the tracks into different
folders by genre, artist or album for retrieval and repeat playback purposes.
Before using the rechargeable batteries
The rechargeable batteries comes non-charged condition. Read
"Recharging the batteries" carefully and charge the batteries be-
fore use.
Notes on using through car stereo
7. Heat — Avoid placing the unit under direct sunlight or near a source of heat such as heating
equipment. Particularly, never leave it in an automobile or on the dashboard.
¶
¶
¶
In case of abnormality such as smoke production, immediately unplug the car bat-
tery adapter from the cigar lighter socket.
Do not leave the products or batteries in the car, particularly above the dashboard,
for this may lead to malfunction or damage due to solar heat.
If the unit is connected to a car stereo using an audio cord, noise may sometimes
interfere.
¶
¶
A maximum of 23 folders or a maximum of 200 files can be stored on a single media.
There are cases where it is not possible to save folders in the desired sequence
depending on the software being used.
8. Temperature — The unit may not function properly if used at extremely low, or freezing tem-
peratures. The ideal ambient temperature is above +5°C (41°F).
In addition to normal audio CDs (CD-DA), this equipment is capable
of playing back media on which MP3 and WMA files have been stored.
9. Water and moisture — The unit should not be used near water — for example, near a bath-
tub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
Naming files
10. Dust and moisture — Avoid places where is dusty or where the humidity is high.
Single-byte characters between A and Z, single-byte numerals between 0 and 9, and
the single-byte underscore (_) can be used when naming files. A maximum of twelve
characters can be displayed. Ensure that the ".MP3" (MP3 files) or ".WMA" (WMA files)
extension logs are attached to all file names.
11. Vibrations — Avoid placing the unit on an unstable place such as a shelf or in a place
subject to vibrations.
12. Magnetic fields — Keep the unit away from sources of magnetic fields such as TV sets,
B60-4989-00 00 CH (K.M.T.X) CR 0012
¶
Never add the MP3 or WMA extension logs to any files other than MP3 and WMA
files. If the MP3 or WMA extension logs are added to any files other than MP3 and
WMA files, the equipment will assume that they can be played back, and this will
produce loud noises in the headphones, resulting in damage of adverse effects.
speaker systems, radios, motorized toys or magnetized objects.
13. Cleaning — Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline, or benzine,
etc. to clean the cabinet. Use a clean dry cloth.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical
enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers.
This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get
the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and
clear without annoying blaring or distortion — and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Care of main unit
When the unit gets dirty, clean with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is stained seriously, a
moistened cloth can be used. Do not use benzine or thinner for these will damage the unit.
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.
Cleaning the plug
Wipe the headphone plug with a soft cloth to keep it clean.
A dirty plug may cause noise or malfunction.
The power will be switched off automatically when an error is displayed.
*
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.
Caution:
¶
¶
1. This system uses a microcomputer, and there are cases where normal functioning will
not be possible owing to noise from external sources and other noise forms. In this
event, temporarily unplug the power cord or remove the batteries, and then try again.
2. There are cases where malfunctions will occur when the headphones are plugged in
and unplugged. This is not a defect.
Caution on disc used
Usable discs
8 cm single CDs can be played as they are; do not use a commercially-available single
CD adapter.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
¶
Handling
3. There are cases where it is not possible to play back media and files that have not been
correctly saved.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.
Hold compact discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.
Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of compact discs.
For the U.S.A.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Never play a cracked or warped disc.
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player. Therefore, to avoid danger,
never use a cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing
damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to
excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
