Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 8 to 10) Listening to the Radio: • If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the previously stored station in that number will be erased. • When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again. Playing Back a Disc: • When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc tray. • This System cannot play “packet write” discs. • For MP3 playback... – MP3 discs are required a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.) – Some MP3 files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This result from their recording processes and conditions. – When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format. – This system can play back MP3 files with the extension code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower). – It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than 64 kbps. – This System can recognize the total of 255 tracks and of 64 groups. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be recognized. – Playback order of MP3 tracks may be different from the one you have intended while recording (see page 26). If a folder does not include MP3 tracks, they are ignored. Playing Back a Tape: • It is not recommended to use the C-120 or longer tapes. These tapes easily jams in the pinch rollers and the capstans, and may cause characteristic deterioration. Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments (see pages 11 to 12) Adjusting the Volume: • Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting the headphones. Adjusting the Sound: • This function also affects the sound through the headphones. • This function does not affect recording. Setting the clock: • “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock. • The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this happens, reset the clock. Advanced Radio Operations (see pages 13 to 15) • If the System takes time to show the RDS information—PS, PTY, RT signals, “PS,” “PTY” or “RT” will appear while searching. Advanced Disc Operations (see pages 16 to 18) Programming the Playing Order—Program Play: • You cannot specify a group number of an MP3 disc for Program Play. • If you try to program a 51st track, “FULL” appears on the display. • While programming steps... Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an item number that does not exist on the disc (for example, selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks). Advanced Tape Operations (see pages 19 to 20) Recording on a Tape: • The recording level is automatically set correctly. Thus, you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level. • There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto at the start and end of cassette tapes. Thus, when recording CDs or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost. • If you start recording with no cassette inserted, “NO TAPE” appears on the display. If a protected tape has been inserted, “NO REC” appears. • When using Reverse Mode for recording, start recording in the forward (3) direction first; otherwise, recording will stop when only one side (reverse) of the tape is recorded. • You can also change Reverse Mode setting ( and ) after starting recording. • You cannot open or close the disc tray while recording. Synchronized Disc Recording: • When the tape reaches its end in the forward direction (3) during recording with Reverse Mode set to , the last tune will be re-recorded at the beginning of the reverse side. • You cannot open the cassette holder during Synchronized Disc Recording. Timer Operations (see pages 21 to 23) • When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the timer again. • Without stopping the recording, you cannot change the source after Recording Timer start recording. • If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled. • If you set the Sleep Timer after Recording Timer starts recording, Recording Timer is canceled, but recording continues until Sleep Timer shuts off the power.
