• CD-R (CD-Recordable)• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)
• MP3/WMA disc (MP3/WMA files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW) *
x@x@
Only CDs bearing these marks can
be used with this System. However,
continued use of irregular shape
CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.)
can damage the System.
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWri-
table) can be played back when they are already "finalized."• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs nmy not be played back on this unit
because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them,or if the player's lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflect-ance of CD-RWs is lower than l\)r regular CDs.
*For MP3/WMA discs• This unit manages files and folders on MP3/WMA discs as
"tracks" and "albums."• Playback order of the MP3/WMA files (tracks) recorded on a
disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application;therefore, playback order may be different from the one youhave intended while recording the files and the folders.
• This unit shows the file (track) names and ID3v2 tags (only"Title", "Artist" and "Album") on the display after starts play;however, there is a limitation on available characters and somefile names and ID3 tags are not shown correctly.

Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple.
Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or
two settings, and you're ready to record. For each source, the pro-
cedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But
first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.
Things To Know Before You Start Recording
_lt should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-recordpre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the con-
sent of the owner of copyright in the sound or videorecording, broadcast or cable program and in any lit-erary, dramatic, musical, or artistic content embodiedtherein.
[21The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape
is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected
by the VOLUME Control on the System. Also, it is not affected
by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording, you can
adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting
the recording level.
_Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A
and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure
or recording.
_ Adhesive tape
_To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you nmst cover
the holes with adhesive tape first.
_Type I tape can be used for recording.
• At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape
which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording
CDs, radio broadcasts, etc., wind on the leader tape first
to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.
_CAUTION:
• If a recording you make has excessive noise orstatic, the Unit may have been too close to a TVwhich was on during the recording. Either turnoff the TV or increase the distance between theTV and the Unit.

This unit has been designed to playback the tUllowing CDs:• Audio CD
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)
• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)• MP3/WMA disc (MP3/WMA files recorded on a CD-R or CD-
RW) *
x@x@
Only CDs bearing these marks can
be used with tiffs System. However,
continued use of irregular shape
CDs (heart-shape, octagonal etc.)
can damage the Systeln.
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWri-
table) can be played back when they are already "finalized."• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions
or cautions carefidly.• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit
because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them,or if the player's lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflect-ance of CD-RWs is lower than t_r regular CDs.
*For MP3/WMA discs• This unit manages files and folders on MP3/WMA discs as
"tracks" and "albums."• Playback order of the MP3/WMA files (tracks) recorded on a
disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application;therefore, playback order may be different from the one youhave intended while recording the files and the folders.
• This unit shows the file (track) names and ID3v2 tags (only"Title", "Artist" and "Album") on the display after starts play;however, there is a limitation on available characters and somefile names and ID3 tags are not shown correctly.
More about MP3/WMA discs
• MP3/WMA discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longerreadout time. (It varies due to the complexity of the re-cording configuration.)
• When making an MP3/WMA disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1or Level 2 as the disc format.
• This unit does not support multisession recording.• This unit can play MP3/WMA files only with the following
file extensions-- ".rap3" and ".wma".• Non-MP3/WMA files are ignored, tf non-MP3/WMA files
are recorded together with MP3/WMA files, this unit willtake a longer time to scan the disc. It may also cause theunit to malfunction.
• Some MP3/WMA discs may not be played back becauseof their disc characteristics or recorded conditions.
Caution for DualDisc playbackThe Non-DVD side of a "DualDisc" does not comply with the"Compact Disc Digital Audio" standard. Therefore, the use ofNon-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recom-mended.

Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple.
Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or
two settings, and yoi£re ready to record. For each source, the pro-
cedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But

Things To Know Before You Start Recording
It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrightedmaterial without the consent of the copyright owner.
[21The recording level, which is the volume at "a,hich the new tape
is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected
by the VOLUME Control on the System. Also, it is not affected
by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording, you can
adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting
the recording level.
_Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A
and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure
or recording.
Adhesive tape
_To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you nmst cover
the holes with adhesive tape first.
_Type I tape can be used for recording.
• At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tapewhich cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recordingCDs, radio broadcasts, etc., wind on the leader tape firstto ensure getting the beginning of the recording.
_CAUTION:
• If a recording you make has excessive noise orstatic, the Unit may have been too close to a TVwhich was on during the recording. Either turnoff the TV or increase the distance between theTV and the Unit.
