Troubleshooting guide:
Symptom Cause and Countermeasure
Cannot play Check if the disc was inserted correctly.
Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before
using the player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the CD player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and MP3/WMA files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data)
will be played.
* Files with extensions other than “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma” cannot be played. In addition, the character codes
and number of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the specifications.
* Check if the disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the setting
of MP3/WMA writing applications or other text editing applications.
Check if the finalisation process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
Check if the disc is protected by copyright.
Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
* It takes a relatively long time
before the music starts playing.If there are many folder or file levels on the MP3/WMA disc, some time may be required before the music starts playing.
Music cuts off or skips The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc.,
might not match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.
Skipping with high bit rate files Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.
* Move immediately to the next
song when playing.When a non-MP3/WMA file has been given an extension of “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “mp3”, or “.wma” or when play is prohibited
by copyright protection, the player will skip to the next song.
The songs do not play back in the
desired order.The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software, so the files might not play in the
desired order.
* Only models equipped with the FM AM radio with CD player. For details, see “FM AM radio with CD player (where fitted)” later in this section.
