MUSIC CATCHER II (Playing) Operations  
Playing Operations  
You can play back CD tracks, MP3/WMA type tracks, and tracks on SD memory card or stored in MUSIC  
CATCHER II memory with the same operations.  
Precautions when creating MP3/  
WMA files  
MP3/WMA  
Usable sampling rates and bit rates:  
• MP3: Sampling rate 11.025 kHz-48 kHz,  
What is MP3?  
MP3 is an audio compression method and  
Bit rate 8 kbps-320 kbps / VBR  
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.  
• WMA: Bit rate 48 kbps-192 kbps  
This audio compression method has penetrated  
File extensions  
into PC users and become a standard format.  
This MP3 features the original audio data  
compression to about 10 percent of its initial size  
with a high sound quality. This means that about  
10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or  
CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without  
having to change CDs.  
• Always add a file extension “.MP3” or “.WMA”  
to MP3 or WMA file by using single byte letters.  
If you add a file extension other than specified  
or forget to add the file extension, the file  
cannot be played.  
• Files without MP3/WMA data will not play. The  
indication “--:--” appears in the play time  
display if you attempt to play files without MP3/  
WMA data.  
What is WMA?  
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media  
Audio, an audio file format developed by  
Microsoft Corporation.  
Logical format (File system)  
• When writing MP3/WMA file on a CD-R disc or  
CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1, 2  
or JOLIET or Romeo” as the writing software  
format. Normal play may not be possible if the  
disc is recorded on another format.  
• Be sure to format SD memory card as FAT12,  
FAT16, FAT32 or VFAT (SD memory card  
standard compliant format).  
• For this equipment, SD memory card capacity  
range is as follows: 32 Mbyte to 1 Gbyte  
• For this equipment, SD memory card  
compatible file format is MP3 and WMA.  
• The folder name and file name can be  
displayed as the title during MP3/WMA play but  
the title must be within 128 single byte  
alphabetical letters and numerals (including an  
extension).  
• Do not affix a name to a file inside a folder  
having the same name.  
Folder structure  
• A disc with a folder having more than 8  
hierarchical levels will be impossible.  
• SD memory card maximum path length is 126  
bytes.  
Notes:  
If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights  
Management) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is  
output (“The WMA indicator” blinks).  
Windows Media, and the Windows logo are  
trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft  
Corporation in the United States and/or other

To disable DRM (Digital Rights  
Management):  
1. When using Windows Media Player 9, click on  
TOOL OPTIONS MUSIC RECORD tab,  
then under Recording settings, unclick the  
Check box for RECORD PROTECTED

MUSIC CATCHER II (Recording/Erasing) Operations  
Notes on recording using MUSIC CATCHER II  
• MUSIC CATCHER II provides recording  
feature at 4 times speed for audio CDs or CD-  
Rs.  
• For CD-RWs, only double-speed recording is  
available.  
• Recording using MUSIC CATCHER II is  
available only for audio CDs (including CD-R,  
CD-RW). MP3/WMA discs cannot be recorded;  
sounds from the AUX input jack or the radio  
cannot be recorded, too.  
• When recording finishes, MUSIC CATCHER II  
automatically rewinds to the beginning of the  
track currently being played back. This is  
caused by the difference between the  
recording speed and the playing speed; that  
does not mean mechanical failure.  
• The sound quality after the recording may differ  
from that you heard during the recording. This  
is caused by that MUSIC CATCHER II uses its  
memory (just recorded) as the sound source  
for the playback during recording; that does not  
mean mechanical failure.  
• When you start recording during a CD or a  
track playback, MUSIC CATCHER II  
automatically rewinds to the beginning of the  
CD or the track, then starts recording.  
• The sound quality while MUSIC CATCHER II  
playing back may differ from that of audio CD.  
If you are not satisfied with the sound quality,  
switch the recording mode to SHQ, or HQ; and  
retry recording.  
• When recording the rest of the tracks on a CD  
with some tracks already have been recorded,  
MUSIC CATCHER II records that rest of the  
tracks to the same folder previously used.  
• Folder and file names are added automatically  
during recording. These folder and file names  
cannot be changed (The file names correspond  
to the track Nos. on the CD).  
Example:  
Folder name : FLD00001  
Track name : TRACK 01  
Set a “USER TITLE” for a folder name using  
the entering titles function. Also, delete the  
USER TITLE” previously entered, and then  
MUSIC CATCHER II renames that folder to the  
same name automatically added during  
recording. For details on how to set a title, refer  
to the subsection “Entering titles” (page 23) in  
the section “Common Operations”.  
• If the disc is not recordable, “NO REC DSC”  
shows on the display.  
• If the disc contains some tracks previously  
recorded, “INCLUDED” shows on the display.  
• If there is no empty folder available, “FOLDER  
FULL” shows on the display.  
• When the memory capacity is used up,  
MEMORY FULL” shows on the display and  
recording is canceled.  
• Recording cannot be performed during SCN,  
RPT, and RDM. In such cases, “BUSY” shows  
on the display.  
• In recording using MUSIC CATCHER II, some  
amount of silent time is created between the  
tracks.  
• The [h], [R], [F], [BND] and [SCN/PRT/  
RDM] buttons are invalid during recording.  
When these buttons are pressed, “INVALID”  
shows on the display.  
Remaining capacity of the memory  
Refer to the subsection “Remaining capacity of  
the memory” (page 25) in the section “Adjust
