Handling Compact Discs/SD memory card

Storage

Compact Discs

Use only compact discs bearing the

mark.

Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other

specially shaped compact discs.

Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode may

not be usable.

• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight

or any heat source.

• Do not expose compact discs to excess

humidity or dust.

• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat

from heaters.

Cleaning

Handling

• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft

cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center

of the compact disc to the circumference.

• Do not use any solvents, such as commercially

available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner

to clean compact discs.

• Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and

CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high

temperature and humidity and some of CD-R

and CD-RW discs may not be played.

Therefore, do not leave them for a long time in

the car.

• New discs may have some roughness around

the edges. If such discs are used, the player

may not work or the sound may skip. Use a

ball-point pen or the like to remove any

roughness from the edge of the disc.

• After using special compact disc cleaner, let

the compact disc dry off well before playing it.

SD memory card

SD MEMORY CARD SLOT

Ball-point pen

Roughness

• This equipment has SD MEMORY CARD

SLOT. Ensure high compatibility with various

kinds of digital equipment or file format. Play

back MP3 and WMA files without, for example,

the use of a PC.

Handling

• After eject operation, always remove SD

memory card from its slot; otherwise, SD

memory card may fall down (due to, for

example, car vibration, etc) during driving.

• This equipment does not support miniSD card

and MMC (Multi Media Card) formats.

• Never stick labels on the surface of the

compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil

or pen.

• Never play a compact disc with any cellophane

tape or other glue on it or with peeling off

marks. If you try to play such a compact disc,

you may not be able to get it back out of the CD

player or it may damage the CD player.

• Do not use compact discs that have large

scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of

such discs may cause misoperation or

damage.

• To remove a compact disc from its storage

case, press down on the center of the case

and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the

edges.

• Do not use commercially available CD

protection sheets or discs equipped with

stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or

cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

Playing Operations

You can play back CD tracks, MP3/WMA type tracks, and tracks on SD memory card or stored in MUSIC

CATCHER II memory with the same operations.

Precautions when creating MP3/

WMA files

MP3/WMA

●Usable sampling rates and bit rates:

• MP3: Sampling rate 11.025 kHz-48 kHz,

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and

Bit rate: 8 kbps-320 kbps / VBR

classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.

• WMA: Bit rate 48 kbps-192 kbps

This audio compression method has penetrated

●File extensions

into PC users and become a standard format.

This MP3 features the original audio data

compression to about 10 percent of its initial size

with a high sound quality. This means that about

10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or

CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without

having to change CDs.

• Always add a file extension “.MP3” or “.WMA”

to MP3 or WMA file by using single byte letters.

If you add a file extension other than specified

or forget to add the file extension, the file

cannot be played.

• Files without MP3/WMA data will not play. The

indication “--:--” appears in the play time

display if you attempt to play files without MP3/

WMA data.

What is WMA?

WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media

Audio, an audio file format developed by

Microsoft Corporation.

●Logical format (File system)

• When writing MP3/WMA file on a CD-R disc or

CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1, 2

or JOLIET or Romeo” as the writing software

format. Normal play may not be possible if the

disc is recorded on another format.

• Be sure to format SD memory card as FAT12,

FAT16, FAT32 or VFAT (SD memory card

standard compliant format).

• For this equipment, SD memory card capacity

range is as follows: 32 Mbyte to 1 Gbyte

• For this equipment, SD memory card

compatible file format is MP3 and WMA.

• The folder name and file name can be

displayed as the title during MP3/WMA play but

the title must be within 128 single byte

alphabetical letters and numerals (including an

extension).

• Do not affix a name to a file inside a folder

having the same name.

●Folder structure

• A disc with a folder having more than 8

hierarchical levels will be impossible.

• SD memory card maximum path length is 126

bytes.

Notes:

• If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights

Management) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is

output (“The WMA indicator” blinks).

• Windows Media, and the Windows  logo are

trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft

Corporation in the United States and/or other

countries.

●To disable DRM (Digital Rights

Management):

MUSIC CATCHER II (Recording/Erasing) Operations

Notes on recording using MUSIC CATCHER II

• MUSIC CATCHER II provides recording

feature at 4 times speed for audio CDs or CD-

Rs.

• For CD-RWs, only double-speed recording is

available.

• Recording using MUSIC CATCHER II is

available only for audio CDs (including CD-R,

CD-RW). MP3/WMA discs cannot be recorded;

sounds from the AUX input jack or the radio

cannot be recorded, too.

• When recording finishes, MUSIC CATCHER II

automatically rewinds to the beginning of the

track currently being played back. This is

caused by the difference between the

recording speed and the playing speed; that

does not mean mechanical failure.

• The sound quality after the recording may differ

from that you heard during the recording. This

is caused by that MUSIC CATCHER II uses its

memory (just recorded) as the sound source

for the playback during recording; that does not

mean mechanical failure.

• When you start recording during a CD or a

track playback, MUSIC CATCHER II

automatically rewinds to the beginning of the

CD or the track, then starts recording.

• The sound quality while MUSIC CATCHER II

playing back may differ from that of audio CD.

If you are not satisfied with the sound quality,

switch the recording mode to SHQ, or HQ; and

retry recording.

• When recording the rest of the tracks on a CD

with some tracks already have been recorded,

MUSIC CATCHER II records that rest of the

tracks to the same folder previously used.

• Folder and file names are added automatically

during recording. These folder and file names

cannot be changed (The file names correspond

to the track Nos. on the CD).

Example:

Folder name : FLD00001

Track name : TRACK 01

Set a “USER TITLE” for a folder name using

the entering titles function. Also, delete the

“USER TITLE” previously entered, and then

MUSIC CATCHER II renames that folder to the

same name automatically added during

recording. For details on how to set a title, refer

to the subsection “Entering titles” (page 23) in

the section “Common Operations”.

• If the disc is not recordable, “NO REC DSC”

shows on the display.

• If the disc contains some tracks previously

recorded, “INCLUDED” shows on the display.

• If there is no empty folder available, “FOLDER

FULL” shows on the display.

• When the memory capacity is used up,

“MEMORY FULL” shows on the display and

recording is canceled.

• Recording cannot be performed during SCN,

RPT, and RDM. In such cases, “BUSY” shows

on the display.

• In recording using MUSIC CATCHER II, some

amount of silent time is created between the

tracks.

• The [h], [R], [F], [BND] and [SCN/PRT/

RDM] buttons are invalid during recording.

When these buttons are pressed, “INVALID”

shows on the display.
