AAC  
Concerning CDs  
A compression standard that makes recording and play of high qual-  
ity audio possible including MPEG2 (an international standard). Used  
in SD Audio and broadcast satellite digital signals.  
With this system, you can only play CDs having this  
mark.  
MP3  
Do not use irregularly shaped CDs. (May  
result in damage to your equipment.)  
MP3 is the abbreviated form of the international standard MPEG1/  
Audio Layer3. MP3 allows you to achieve approximately ten to one  
compression rates with bit rates of 128 kbps. MP3 is used widely with  
SD Audio, CDs, and computers.  
Use discs that display the logo mark indi-  
cated above, or conform to the Compact  
disc digital audio standard. The disc may  
not play properly if you are using a non-  
standard conforming disc.  
Sampling frequency  
The number of samples taken approximately each second when an  
audio signal is digitally converted and stored in memory. The higher  
the value the wider the frequency range can be used for digital con-  
version thus providing near original audio quality reproduction, how-  
ever the resulting size of the audio data does become quite large.  
For CDs with greater than 80 minutes total play time, the portion  
beyond 80 minutes cannot be played on this unit.  
Depending on the CD, there may be apparent noise or the total  
number of tracks may not be read properly. In either case, try re-  
inserting the CD.  
Recorded music CDs that are partially or fully translucent may not  
be usable with this unit.  
Do not use CDs that are dirty.  
Bit rate  
A value that indicates the audio signal compression rate. Indicates  
the number of bits sampled approximately each second, the larger  
the bit value the more information is contained resulting in better au-  
dio quality, however the size of the audio data does become quite  
large.  
Note about using a DualDisc  
The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the  
technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-  
DA) format so play may not be possible.  
Do not use a DualDisc in this unit as it may get scratched or scraped.  
Handling SD Memory Cards  
Handling precautions  
If you are taking the CD from a cold to a warm environment, mois-  
ture may form on the CD. Wipe this off with a soft, dry, lint-free  
cloth before using the CD.  
Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing  
instrument.  
Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static elec-  
tricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.  
Do not attach labels or stickers to CDs. (Do not use CDs with ex-  
posed adhesive from tape or left over peeled off stickers.)  
When handling SD Memory Cards  
Avoid the following:  
Altering or disassembling the SD Memory Card  
Striking, bending, dropping, or getting water on the SD Memory  
Card

Do not store in potentially high temperature locations such as within  
cars, or in areas open to direct sunlight.  
Do not place in locations subject to high humidity or dust.  
Do not place in areas subject to caustic gases.  
Protecting important data  
Set the write protect switch to the  
LOCK position. Release the lock when  
storing new data.  
If there is a space for writing a note on  
the SD Memory Card, use a felt pen  
Do not use scratch-proof protectors etc.  
Do not use CDs printed with label printers available on the market.
