WARNING  
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT means that the laser's construction makes  
it inherently safe so that the legally prescribed maximum permissible  
radiation values can never be exceeded.  
Caution: Using any equipment or devices other than those described and  
specified in these operating instructions, or tampering with the unit in any  
way, can result in dangerous exposure to radiation.  
MP3 / WMA CD Mode  
The CRD-40 is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3/WMA  
files.  
In MP3 / WMA mode the terms "album" and "file" are very important. "Al-  
bum" corresponds to a folder on a PC, "File " to a PC or a CD -DA track.  
The device reads MP3 files with a maximum of 255 files per album. An  
MP3 CD may not contain more than 512 files or albums in total. MP3 files  
must be created with an audio sample rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for  
files created from CD audio content).  
When burning CD-R and CD-RWs with audio files, various problems may  
arise which could lead to interference in playback. This can be caused  
by faulty software or hardware settings or by the CD being used. Should  
such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD burner or  
software manufacturer or look for relevant information, for example on the  
internet. When you are making audio CDs, observe all legal guidelines  
and ensure that the copyright of third parties is not infringed.
