IMPORTANT The CD player can read
most of the compression systems cur-
rently on sale (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) however, due to the
evolution of these systems, reading of all
compression formats is not guaranteed.
IMPORTANT When loading a multi-ses-
sion CD, only the first session will be
played. IMPORTANT Should copy-protected
CDs be used, then, few seconds may be
required for playing them. Moreover, due
to the proliferation of always new and dif-
ferent protection methods, it is not guar-
anteed that the CD player can play what-
ever protected disc. Copy protection is
often indicated on the CD cover in small
letters or hard to read characters. Usu-
ally it is indicated by writings like: “COPY
CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”,
“THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A
PC/MAC”, or it is identified by symbols
like:TECHNICAL DATA

TRACK PLAYING MODE
When playing a CD-ROM with MP3 files,
the sound system will display the track
name and play time (e.g. “MIDNIGHT
MOTION 4:37”).
During playback the following operations
can be performed:
– continuous or single scroll on track
name
– scrolling tracks up or down according to
single, multiple or continuous mode
– scrolling folders up or down (see next

settings for the different CD info (e.g. files,
folder, singer’s name, album name, etc.).
To turn this function on keep button 4
DISPpressed for over 2 seconds and then use
the button/knob ON/OFF to select the in-
fo to display.
In MP3 mode, the sound system will:
– play MP3 files only
– play the tracks in alphabetic-numeric or-
der for each folder (also ordered with the
same criteria) (it is recommended to put
a number before the file name, e.g. “01”,
“02” or “001”, “002”)
– return to the start of the last file each
time the sound system is turned on.During track selection (see paragraph
track selection (forward/backward), the
display will show the folder number and
the track number and name (e.g. “3/13
MIDNIGHT MOTION”).
To facilitate track selection, the sound sys-
tem stores the number of pushes on pre-
set buttons (1 to 6) and then will skip once

variable bit-rate method could produce
discrepancies when displaying the track
play time.
