SOUND SYSTEM
IMPORTANT The CD player can read most of
the compression systems currently on sale
(e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER)
however, due to the evolution of these sys-
tems, reading of all compression formats
is not guaranteed.
IMPORTANT When loading a multi-session
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 pro-
liferation of always new and different pro-
tection methods, it is not guaranteed that
the CD player can play whatever protected
disc. Copy protection is often indicated on
the CD cover in small letters or hard to read
characters. Usually it is indicated by writings
like: “COPY CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECT-
ED”, “THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A
PC/MAC”, or it is identified by symbols like:
