There may be a problem with your writing software or CD recorder (CD-
R/RW drive).  For details refer to the user manual of your writing software.The disc does not conform to the file systems supported by this player.aInsert a disc that conforms to the file systems supported by this player.
(apage 31).Files or folders are not recorded in the desired playback order.aSome writing software lets you specify the recording order by adding a
prefix in the range of “01” - “99”, etc. to the file name.  For details refer
to the user manual of your writing software.High-speed writing was executed when MP3 data was recorded on the disc.aDecrease writing speed as low as possible.aThe recording quality differs depending on the encoding software used,
and on settings such as the bit rate.  Set the bit rate within the range spec-
ified in the specifications chart (apage 96).
It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more” and “Fixed”.The folders and files recorded on the disc are layered too much.aAs checking of files takes longer in this case, do not record any unneces-
sary folders or files other than MP3s on the disc.  
(If there are many hierarchies of files and folders, it may take up to 150
seconds to start playback.)The MP3 file is missing the “.mp3” file name extension.aMake sure to add the “.mp3” extension to each MP3 file name.The disc does not conform to any of the file systems supported by this player.aInsert a disc that conforms to the file systems supported by this player.

Definition of TermsDigital audio output connector (Optical)
The digital audio output connector (optical) converts
electrical signals into optical signals and transfers
them to the amplifier. Consequently, it has a number
of features including its immunity from electrical inter-
ference from external sources and its ability to prevent
the generation of noise and its minimal effect on the
external environment.
Dolby Digital
This fully discrete format divides the music signals
into 5.1 channels: Front Left (L), Front Right (R),
Center (C), Left Surround (LS), Right Surround (RS)
and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1 channel) for recording and
playback. The number of channels that are recorded
depends on the software. (1 to 5.1 channels)
Dolby Pro Logic
This format records signals from four channels [Front
Left (L), Front Right (R), Center (C), and Monaural
Surround (S)] in two channels, decodes those chan-
nels through a Dolby Pro Logic decoder, and then out-
puts the resulting signals in four channels.
dts
This format requires more data than Dolby Digital, and
provides higher quality surround playback.
Similar to Dolby Digital, this fully discrete format
divides the music signals into 5.1 channels: Front Left
(L), Front Right (R), Center (C), Left Surround (LS),
Right Surround (RS) and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1 chan-
nel) for recording and playback.Interactive DVD
An interactive DVD is DVD software which includes
multiple angles, multiple plot endings, etc.
Letterbox screen
This refers to a screen on which the playback picture
of wide-screen DVDs or Video CDs appears with black
bands running along the top and bottom.
LPCM (Linear PCM audio)
In this format, the audio signal is converted to digital
data and recorded in two channels without compres-
sion. Because the capacity of a DVD video disc is
large, it can store more data with better accuracy than
a CD.
Pan & Scan screen
This refers to a screen on which the playback picture
of wide-screen DVDs or Video CDs is cut off at the left
and right sides. 
Playback control (Video CD)
If the Video CD has “With Playback Control” or others
written on the disc surface or on the jacket, the scenes
or information to be viewed (or listened to) can be
selected interactively with the screen  by looking at the
menu shown on the screen.
In these instructions, playback using the menu screen
is referred to as the “menu play” for video CDs. This
player supports Video CDs with playback control.
Title, Chapter (DVD)
DVDs are divided into some large sections (titles) or
some small sections (chapters). Each section is num-
bered; these numbers are called “Title number” or
“Chapter number”.
Track (Video CD/CD)
Video CDs or CDs are divided into some sections
(tracks). Each section is numbered; these numbers are
called “Track number”. Manufactured under license from Dolby
Laboratories. “Dolby” and the double-D symbol
