The non-DVD, audio side of the disc is not compatible with this player.
For more detailed information on the DualDisc specification, please refer
to the disc manufacturer or disc retailer.

stored by the user on USB devices or other direct or indirect prob-

!
If a current larger than the allowable value is detected at this unit’s
USB device insertion slot, it may happen that the [USB STOP]
indicator flashes, the supply of power to the USB device is stopped
and communications are interrupted. To restore normal operation,
disconnect the USB device from this unit. Avoid using USB devices
for which excess currents have been detected. If normal operation is
not restored using the method above (if communications cannot be
established), turn this unit’s power off then back on.
! If the USB device is split into multiple partitions, only the first parti-
tion can be used.
! USB devices equipped with flash card readers may not operate.
! Depending on the USB device you are using, the desired perfor-
mance may not be achieved.

About MP3 files
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.
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.
About ID3 tags
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.
