    User memo:
    Listening caution
    Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just 
    purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now its 
    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 all, we want you listening for a 
    lifetime. System SC-PM71SD

    Tips for making WMA/MP3 discs
    •Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended 
    formats).
    •If you have recorded MP3/WMA on the same disc as CD-DA, only 
    the format recorded in the first session can be played.
    •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.
    •If there is a large amount of JPEG data etc. within a WMA/MP3 file, 
    sound may not be output and play may not be possible. 
    •The unit can play a maximum of 400 albums and 999 tracks. If there 
    are multiple folders with many levels, there may be files and folders 
    that cannot be recognized.
    •This unit is compatible with Windows Media Audio 9 (WMA9), 
    however not with WMA9 Professional/Lossless/Voice and MBR*
    *Multiple Bit Rate: A file that contains the same content encoded at 
    several different bit rates.
    •Noise may occur when playing WMA files.
    •You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
    •This unit is not compatible with packet-write format.
    •This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
    •If you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take 
    some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed time 
    will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track starts, the 
    correct play time will not be displayed.Naming folders and files
    At the time of recording, prefix folder and 
    file names with 3-digit numbers in the 
    order you want to play them (this may not 
    work at times).
    Files must have the extension:
    “.WMA” or “.wma”
    “.MP3” or “.mp3”Example:root
