Listening to a CD or MP3/WMA disc

CD-SW200

This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD format and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA ???les, but cannot record on them. Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable due to the state of the disc or the device that was used for recording.

MP3:

MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3.

MP3 is a type of audio code which is processed by signi???cant compression from the original audio source with very little loss in sound quality.

This system supports MPEG 1 Layer 3, MPEG 2 Layer 3, and VBR files.

During VBR ???le playback, time counter in the display may differ from its actual playback time.

WMA:

WMA ???les are Advanced System Format ???les that include audio ???les which are compressed with Windows Media Audio codec. WMA is developed by Microsoft as an audio format ???le for Win- dows Media Player.

"MP3" or "WMA" indicator will light up after the unit reads infor- mation on an MP3 or WMA disc.

Auto power on function:

When you press any of the following buttons, the unit turns on.

Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interference (me- chanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunc- tion.

If such a problem occurs, do the following:

1Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.

2If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.

Note:

If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by resetting it.

Clearing all the memory (reset)

1Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by mode.

2While pressing down the button and the X-BASS (SUR- ROUND)/DEMO button, press the TUNING button until "CLEAR ALL" appears.

Caution:

This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer settings, tuner preset, and CD program.

Before transporting the unit

Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.

Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collec- tion and player.

Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface. Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.

Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.

Maintenance

Cleaning the tape-handling parts

Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which contains high voltages.

After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag- netised, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once ev- ery 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions care- fully before use.

Cleaning the CD pickup lens

In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preventative maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be performed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available. Contact your local CD software dealer for options.

Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap so- lution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish.

Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc- tions.
