1 − Introduction  
and always store them in a clean state.  
Precautions and notes for placement  
and use  
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, ben-  
zene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean  
CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface.  
It may cause CDs to become unplayable.  
The operating temperature should be between 5°C and  
35°C (41°F and 95°F).  
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for  
correct operation.  
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the  
disc and do not use any protective coating spray. Do not  
insert discs that have adhesive remaining from tape or  
stickers that have been removed. If they are inserted into  
the player, they could stick to the internal mechanism,  
requiring removal by a technician.  
Do not place any object on the unit for heat dissipation.  
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating  
electrical device such as a power amplifier.  
Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using  
stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism  
and cause it to malfunction.  
Beware of condensation  
If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a  
warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change,  
there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could  
condense on the internal mechanism, making correct oper-  
ation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the  
player sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature  
before using.  
Do not use cracked discs.  
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu-  
lar promotional, etc. discs.  
When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a  
soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information.  
Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may  
cause damage to the recorded side.  
Cleaning the unit  
To clean the unit, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Do  
not use any benzene, paint thinner, ethyl alcohol or other  
chemical agents to clean the unit as they could damage the  
surface.  
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection sys-  
tem, have been released form several record companies  
in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some of  
these discs do not comply with the CD specifications,  
they may not be playable on the CD-200.  
About discs  
In addition to audio CDs (CD-DA), the CD-200 can play  
CD-R and CD-RW discs on which audio CD, MP3, or  
WAV format files are recorded. The CD player can also  
play 3-inch CDs  
Handling of compact discs  
Always place the compact discs in the trays with their  
label facing upward.  
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center  
of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it care-  
fully by the edges.  
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-  
label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping or mal-  
function.  
To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft  
dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.  
Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them

4 − Playing back CDs  
Discs that can be played  
Folders and tracks on data CDs  
This unit can play the following types of files and discs.  
This unit treats all the audio files (WAV and MP3) on data  
CDs as “tracks.” Some data CDs store files inside folders  
in the same way that ordinary computers do. In addition,  
multiple folders can be stored inside another folder creating  
a multilevel structure.  
CD-DA (audio CD) format discs  
ª
Music CDs that are commercially available and CD-R and  
CD-RW discs that have been recorded as audio CD format  
can be played. In this manual, these types of discs are  
called “audio CDs.”  
This unit assigns a folder number to each folder to manage  
them. Folder numbers and are assigned sequentially start-  
ing with the first folder at the highest level followed by the  
folders (subfolders) inside it. Folders inside a higher-level  
folder are numbered in order before the next folder in the  
higher-level is numbered as shown in the illustration below.  
CD-ROM (data CD) format discs  
ª
Discs with MP3 and WAV files recorded on them can be  
played. In this manual, these types of discs are called “data  
CDs.”  
If the root folder of a data CD contains one or more audio  
files, it will be numbered as the first folder.  
MP3 files that have a sampling frequency of 32, 44.1 or  
48 kHz and a bit-rate of 32–320 kbps or a variable bit-  
rate (VBR) can be played back. WAV files that have a  
sampling frequency of 8–48 kHz and are 8-bit or 16-bit  
can be played back.  
Each audio file is also assigned a track number. Track  
numbers are assigned in order starting from those in the  
lowest numbered folder.  
During ordinary playback of data CDs, tracks are played  
back just like an audio CD in the order of their assigned  
numbers.  
CAUTION  
Limitations of MP3 files that use VBR compression  
Due to format limitations, positions cannot be accurately  
detected in VBR files. For this reason, the point where  
playback actually starts might differ slightly from the  
point set in advance for functions of this player when  
points must be set in the middle of a track.  
Folders that do not directly contain audio files are not  
given numbers. For example, in the illustration below the  
folder that contains folder 5 is not given a number.
