MP3/WMA INTRODUCTION  
What are MP3/WMA?  
How are MP3/WMA files  
recorded and played back?  
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts  
Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a  
file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10  
(128 Kbps*).  
MP3/WMA “files (tracks)” can be recorded in  
folders” —in PC terminology.  
During recording, the files and folders can be  
arranged in a way similar to arranging files and  
folders of computer data.  
* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one  
second of audio data will consume. The unit used is  
Kbps. To get a better audio quality, choose a higher  
bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is  
128 Kbps.  
Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file  
and folder can be linked to and be accessed from  
the root.  
WMA (Windows Media® Audio) is the digital  
audio compression format developed by  
Microsoft Corporation.  
The illustration below shows an example of how  
MP3/WMA files are recorded on a CD-R or  
CD-RW, how they are played back, and how they  
are searched for on this unit.  
• For details information about the MP3/WMA  
discs, refer to “A Guide to MP3/WMA”  
(separate volume).  
Notes:  
• This unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without  
the extension code <.mp3> and a WMA track  
without the extension code <.wma>.  
• This unit is not compatible with MP3 files  
encoded with Layer 1 and Layer 2 formats.  
• This unit is not compatible with WMA files which  
are not based upon Windows Media® Audio.  
• This unit is not compatible with Playlist**.  
Compatible with ID3 Tag  
Extra information data such as album title,  
performer name, song title, recording year, music  
genre and a brief comment can be stored within  
an MP3/WMA file.  
**A playlist is a simple text file, used on a PC, which  
enables users to make their own playback order  
without physically rearranging the files.  
This unit can show both ID3v1 (Version 1) and  
ID3v2 (Version 2) tags on the display. (See page  
19.)  
• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.  
• If both ID3v1 and ID3v2 are recorded on a  
disc, ID3v2 information will be shown.

MAINTENANCE  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
Handling discs  
Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read  
their instructions or cautions carefully.  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played  
back on this unit because of their disc  
characteristics, and for the following reasons:  
– Discs are dirty or scratched.  
This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs,  
CD-Rs (Recordable), CD-RWs (Rewritable), and  
CD Texts.  
• This unit is also compatible with MP3 and  
WMA discs.  
– Moisture condensation on the lens inside the  
unit.  
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time  
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than  
that of regular CDs.  
• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high  
temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave  
them inside your car.  
• Do not use following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:  
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal  
stuck to the surface.  
How to handle discs  
When removing a disc  
Center holder  
from its case, press down  
the center holder of the case  
and lift the disc out, holding  
it by the edges.  
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not  
touch its recording surface.  
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert  
the disc around the center holder (with the  
printed surface facing up).  
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after  
use.  
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed  
by an ink jet printer.  
Using these discs under high temperatures or  
high humidity may cause malfunctions or  
damage to discs. For example,  
– Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a  
disc.  
– Stickers or labels may be peeled off so discs  
cannot be ejected.  
– Print on discs may get sticky.  
To keep discs clean  
A dirty disc may not be played  
correctly.  
If a disc does become dirty, wipe it  
with a soft cloth in a straight line  
from center to edge.  
Read instructions or cautions about labels and  
printable discs carefully.  
To play new discs  
New discs may have some rough  
spots around the inner and outer  
edges. If such a disc is used, this  
unit may reject the disc.  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with  
a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
CAUTIONS:  
• Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16") discs (single CDs)  
into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be  
ejected.)  
• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a  
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a  
malfunction.  
Moisture condensation  
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any  
heat source or place them in a place subject to  
high temperature and humidity. Do not leave  
them in a car.  
• Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
CD player in the following cases:  
• After starting the heater in the car.  
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the CD player may  
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave  
the unit turned on for a few hours until the  
moisture evaporates.
