Regarding CDs
Limitations on MP3
•  This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions 
it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a 
minimum to avoid this.
• This unit cannot play fi les recorded using packet write.
•  If the disc includes both MP3 and normal audio data (CD-DA), the unit 
plays the type recorded in the inner part of the disc.
   If the disc includes both MP3 and other types of audio data (e.g. WMA or 
WAV), the unit plays only the MP3.
•  Depending on how you create MP3 fi les, they may not play in the order 
you numbered them or may not play at all.
Note on CD-R and CD-RW
This unit can play CD-R and CD-RW recorded with CD-DA or MP3 (MP3:
SC-EN27 only). Use an audio recording disc for CD-DA and fi nalize∗ it when 
you fi nish recording.
The unit may not be able to play some discs due to the condition of the 
recording.
∗ A process performed after recording that enables CD-R/CD-RW players to 
play audio CD-R and CD-RW.
Caution
Choose discs with this mark:
Do not;
• use irregularly shaped CDs.
• attach extra labels and stickers.
•  use CDs with labels and stickers that are coming off or with adhesive 
exuding from under labels and stickers.
• attach scratch-proof covers or any other kind of accessory.
• write anything on the CD.
• clean CDs with liquids (Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.).
Note about using a DualDisc
•  The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the technical 
specifi cations 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 not be possible to insert it 
correctly and it may get scratched or scraped.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable safety instructions listed below. Keep these 
operating instructions handy for future reference.
1)  Read these instructions.
2)  Keep these instructions.
3)  Heed all warnings.
4)  Follow all instructions.
5)  Do not use this apparatus near water.
6)  Clean only with dry cloth.
7)    Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s 
instructions.
8)   Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other 
apparatus (including amplifi ers) that produce heat.
9)   Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug 
has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and 
a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If 
the provided plug does not fi t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the 
obsolete outlet.
10)  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Listening caution
Selecting fi ne audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your 
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement 
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s 
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at 
a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or 
distortion–and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of 
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
•  Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without 
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After
