Basic and Common Opera tions (see page 3)
• Sound adjustments also aff ect the sound through the
headphones.
• Sound adjustments do not aff ect recording to the external
device.
• Y ou can set the clock and daily timer while the SA VE mode
is turned on. While setting the clock or daily timer , the
display is turning on.
Playing Back Discs (see pages 4)
• This System cannot play “packet write ” discs.
• F or MP3 playback...
– MP3 discs are requir ed a longer readout time than regular
CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/fi le
confi guration.)
– Some MP3 fi les cannot be played back and will be
skipped. This r esult from their r ecording processes and
conditions.
– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or L evel 2
for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3 fi les with the extension
code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/
lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3 fi le at a
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This
System cannot play back fi les made at bit rate of less than
64 kbps.
– Playback or der of MP3 tracks may be diff erent from the
one you have intended while r ecording. If a folder does
not include MP3 tracks, they are ignor ed.
• This System can recogniz e up to 511 tracks in a disc. Also ,
the System can recogniz e up to 150 tracks per group and
up to 99 groups in a disc . (for MP3)
– If there are any unpla yable fi les in a folder , those fi les are
also counted in the total fi le number .
– Playable fi les which do not belong to any gr oups are
handled as Group 1.
MP3 groups/tracks confi gura tion
This System plays back MP3 tracks as follows .
Hierarchy
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5
Group with its play order
MP3 track with its play order
Listening to FM and AM Broadcasts (see page 5)
• If the System takes time to show the Radio Data System
information—PS, PT Y , RT signals, “PS, ” “PT Y , ” or “RT ” will
appear while searching.
Connecting a Portable Audio Devic e (see page 6)
Playing back a portable audio device:
• If a component connected to the LINE IN jack is not loud
enough, QP Link may not work properly .
In such cases , adjust the volume level of the component
louder so that the System can detect the sound signal
properly .
• Changing from “LINE” to another source while QP Link
works will deactivate QP Link temporarily.
In this case, the following reactivates QP Link:
– P ressing QP LINK on the remote contr ol.
– When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack f or
about 30 seconds after the System is turned off
• If you press button to turn the System off or if preset
Timer turns the System off while QP Link works, the System
deactivates QP Link temporarily.
In such cases, the following reactivates QP Link:
– When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack f or
about 30 seconds after the System is turned off
– When you turn on the power again
Setting the Clock and Daily Timer (see left)
• “0:00” will fl ash on the display until you set the clock.
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this
happens, readjust the clock.
• When you unplug the AC power cor d or if a power failure
occurs, the clock and the timer will be canceled. Y ou need
to set the clock fi rst, then the timer again.
• If you do not specify the preset station correctly while
setting a timer , the currently selected station will be played
when the timer is activated.
• When the on-time of the daily timer comes, the System
sets the volume level gradually to the pr eset level after
about 5 seconds.
Timer Priority:
• If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing
the selected source, Daily T imer is canceled.
