Basic operations
General
If you turn off the power while listening to a track, playback will start from where it had been stopped previously next time you turn on the power. If no operation is done for about 60 seconds after pressing MENU button, the operation will be canceled. When a disc is inserted upside down, PLEASE and EJECT appear alternately on the display. Press 0 to eject the disc. If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds, it is automatically inserted into the loading slot again to protect it from dust. MP3 and WMA tracks (words file and track are used interchangeably) are recorded in folders. While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
During SSM search... All previously stored stations are erased and the stations are stored anew. When SSM is over, the station stored in the lowest preset number will be automatically tuned in. When storing a station manually, the previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW


Use only finalized CD-Rs or CD-RWs. This unit can only play back files of the same type as those detected first if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files. This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing. Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons: Discs are dirty or scratched. Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside the unit. The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty. The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the Packet Write method. There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, etc.). CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.
