About MP3 files

About ID3 tags

MP3 files include constant bit rate (CBR) and variable bit rate (VBR) files.

Both types can be played on this unit, but the searching speed is slower

for VBR files than for CBR files. To prioritize operability, we recommend

recording files in CBR.

The tag information types which can be registered from a music file are

ID3 tags (v1, v1.1, v2.2.0, v2.3.0, and v2.4.0) or meta tags.

About AAC files

AAC is the abbreviation of “Advanced Audio Coding”, a basic format

of audio compression technology used for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.

The file format and extension of AAC data depends on the applica-

tion used to create the data.

On this unit, in addition to AAC files encoded with iTunes^®and with

the extension “.m4a”, files with the extensions “.aac” and “.mp4” files

can also be played. However, AAC files that are copyright-protected,

such as those purchased from the iTunes Store, cannot be played.

Also, depending on the version of iTunes in which the file was

encoded, it may not be possible to play the file.

Cautions concerning security when using

wireless LAN products

Wireless LAN connections offer the advantage that because the infor-

mation is exchanged between the computer, etc., and the wireless LAN

access point using radio waves rather than a LAN cable, LAN connec-

tions are possible as long as the devices are within the range of the radio

waves.

On the other hand, because the radio waves reach all places within their

range, even through such obstacles as walls, the problems below may

occur if the security settings have not been made.

Exchanged information may be viewed surreptitiously

Third parties with malicious intents may deliberately intercept the

radio waves and surreptitiously view the exchanged information,

including ID numbers, passwords, credit card numbers and other

personal information or e-mail messages.

Your network may be infiltrated without authorization

Third parties with malicious intents may access your personal or

company network without authorization and obtain personal or con-

fidential information (leakage of information), impersonate specific

persons and release false information (impersonation), rewrite inter-

cepted information and issue the rewritten information (falsification)

or plant computer viruses, etc., that damage your data or system

(vandalism).

Wireless LAN products normally have a security system. Using the

product with the security settings activated decreases the above

risks.

It is your responsibility to thoroughly understand the risks of using

wireless LAN products without security settings and to make the

security settings according to your personal judgment.

Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to discs. Doing so could

warp discs, making it impossible to play them. Also note that rental

discs often have labels attached to them, and the label’s glue may

have oozed out. Check that there is no glue around the edges of such

labels before using rented discs.

About specially shaped discs

Playlist

Irregularly shaped discs other than standard 12 cm discs cannot be

played on this unit (doing so will lead to damage or accidents).

Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.) cannot be played

on this unit. Do not attempt to play such discs, as they could damage

the unit.

Cautions on use

About condensation

Water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit (on operating

parts and lenses) in the winter, for example, if the unit is moved from a

cold place into a warm room or if the temperature in the room in which

the unit is installed rises suddenly (through heating, etc.). The unit will

not operate properly and will not be playable with condensation inside.

Let the unit stand for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature (though this

time depends on the conditions of the condensation) without turning on

the power. The water droplets will evaporate and the unit will become

playable. Condensation can occur in the summer as well if the unit is

exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner, etc. If this happens,

move the unit to a different location.

About condensation on discs

Water droplets (condensation) may form on the surface of discs if they

are moved from a cold place (particularly in winter) into a warm room.

Discs may not play normally if there is condensation on them. Carefully

wipe the water droplets off the surface of the disc before loading it.
