Notes on MP3  
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) is a format for compressed audio file. These formats allow users to save all the  
files contained in approximately 10 pieces of existing CDs on one piece of CD-R/RW.  
Note: Each of encoding software is not included with this unit.  
*MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson.  
Cautions as to compressed audio files  
¡High bit rate and high sampling frequency are  
recommended for high quality sounds.  
¡Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recom-  
mended because playing time is not displayed  
properly and sound may be skipped.  
¡Be sure to put an extension compatible with the  
format.  
¡It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps  
or more” and “fixed”.  
¡The playback sound quality differs depending on  
the encoding circumstances. For details, refer to  
the user manual of your own encoding software  
and writing software.

Notes on Discs  
How to hold the disc  
Disc insert  
¡Do not touch the underside of the disc.  
¡Do not scratch the disc.  
The surfaces of new discs tend to be slippery.  
Therefore, when using such a disc for the first time,  
it may not load satisfactorily even when it has been  
inserted into the unit. At a time like this, insert the  
disc into the unit as far as it will go until it is loaded  
properly.  
¡Do not bend disc.  
¡When not in use, keep disc in the case.  
Printed side  
¡When inserting a disc into or ejecting and  
removing it from the unit, insert it straight in or  
eject and remove it straight out in parallel with  
the unit. Otherwise, the disc may be scratched  
or marked in the process.  
¡When inserting a disc, do not put one disc on  
another. Failure to observe this may cause the  
discs to be jammed.  
Unusable discs  
Do not use discs that fit any of the descriptions  
given below. Using these discs may damage the  
discs or cause the unit to malfunction.  
¡Special discs in a shape which is not round  
Do not leave discs in the following places:  
¡Direct sunlight  
¡Near vehicle heaters  
¡Dirty, dusty and damp areas  
¡On seats and dashboards  
¡Partly or wholly transparent disc  
Disc cleaning  
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe from the center out-  
ward.  
Do not attach any seals or labels to your discs.  
Do not write on the disc label in a heavy pen or  
ballpoint pen.
