MP3/WMA Play
CD-R MP3/WMA discs
When playing CD-R/MP3 or WMA discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, plus the comments below:
• Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and with Apple's Mac. These two formats
are the most widely used.
• When naming your MP3 or WMA files do not exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3, .wma" as the file extension.
General name format of: Title.mp3. or Title.wma. When composing your title, make sure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces
in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound
requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing
higher rates, like 192 Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality.
Conversely, files with decompression rates below 128 Kbps will not be played properly.
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps when recording WMA files.
Sound quality with WMA files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound
requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to 192Kbps.
Conversely, files with decompression rates below 64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be played properly.
• Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.
Certain "secured" files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows MediaTM
(registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMITM (registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.
• Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent
optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (degraded sound quality and in some cases,
inability of the player to read the files).
• This unit can play a maximum of 3000 files and 300 folders per disc.

Cautionary Notes
Cautions on Using Battery pack
Danger!
Always follow the safety information below when using the battery pack. Otherwise, a short circuit, overheating, smoke, fire, or
damage to the product may result.
1. Never disassemble or modify the battery pack in any way. Do not touch the terminal of the battery pack with a metal object.
2. Do not let any metal object inside the battery pack.
3. Do not place the battery pack in direct sunlight, dashboard of a vehicle, or high temperature.
4. Do not expose the battery pack to water, fire, or heat.
5. Always use the included AC adapter when charging the battery pack.
6. This battery pack is designed exclusively for your portable DVD player. Do not use it with other devices.
Warning!
1. Do not drop or subject to strong vibration.
2. Keep out of reach of children.
3. The battery pack may leak fluid that is harmful to your eyes.
If this fluid gets in your eyes, wash eyes immediately with large amounts of running water and get medical attention immediately.
If the fluid gets on your skin or clothing, wash immediately with water.
Caution!
1. When not using the battery pack, remove it and store in a cool place.
2. Do not use the AC adapter or battery pack for a prolonged period of time during recharging. You might get a low temperature burn.
3. Keep the battery pack free from smoke, steam, moisture, and dust.
• Do not place the battery pack near a kitchen, heater, or any other place where there is smoke or steam.
Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
• Avoid direct sunlight, heater, or high temperature place. etc, inside of a car. It can cause explosion or fire.
Doing so may cause a short circuit, overheating, smoke, fire, or damage to the product.
4. Using the battery pack under 10°C or over 30°C can cause reduced battery life.

ENGLISH

Cautionary Notes
After a Recharge, store the Battery pack separately.
• This battery pack is a lithium ion battery. Even when not in use, power will drain slowly. So use a fully charged
battery pack.
• Recharge until the charge lamp stays on green. A partial charging of the battery pack decreases the overall lifetime of the battery.
Cautions on Charging Battery pack
• Charge within the surrounding temperature range of 10°C~30°C. Charging at a low surrounding temperature slows down the
charging time and decreases the battery pack. You cannot fully charge the battery pack at high temperature.
• If the DVD player is overheated and the battery pack’s internal temperature goes up to a certain level, you will not be able to
charge the battery pack. (The lamp flashes quickly and the light does not come on.)
In this case, remove the battery pack. After the internal temperature reaches a safe level, charging will begin automatically.
• The battery pack becomes warm during recharge or use. This is normal and is not a cause for concern.
A hot battery pack may take longer to charge or may not be charged at all. Wait until the battery pack cools down before charging.
Battery pack Life and Use (Low Temperature)
• The lifetime of the battery pack is limited.
Power is slowly drained even when not using. Though it varies for differing storage conditions, the battery pack stored unused for a
year has a much shorter lifetime.
If the battery pack does not last long even after a full charge, you might have to replace it with a newo one.
• Total operating time of the battery pack becomes much shorter when used at temperatures below 10 C.
Electrical energy is discharged due to internal chemical action of the battery pack.
A very low temperature may impede this chemical action and shortens the total operating time.
Caution
• Be sure to use only the battery pack exclusively designed for your DVD player.
NOTE:
• When not using the DVD player, always turn off the power to conserve the battery pack.
If the AC adapter is connected to the player, charge the battery pack with the power to the player turned off.

Cautionary Notes
Cautions on Storing Battery pack
• Even when not in use, power is consumed continuously. To reduce the power consumption, follow the procedure below.
1. Remove the battery pack from the DVD player after every use.
2. When not using the DVD player, turn off the power. If the player is left in the standby mode, power will be slowly drained
from the battery pack and the charging capacity will decrease.
3. Before storing the battery pack, completely drain the power by operating the player and store in a cool, dry place.
If stored in a hot place, the capacity of the battery pack will decrease.
4. The battery pack must be recharged and then used on the DVD player at least once every 6 months.
This helps to prevent the loss of capacity.
AC Adapter
The supplied AC adapter is compatible with 50/60Hz electrical system (110V~240V range).
Use of the AC adapter depends on the specific voltage requirements and electrical outlet design.
• Using the AC adapter near a radio may cause poor reception.
• Do not let any type of flammables, liquid, or metal objects in the adapter.
• The adapter is covered with an outer plastic sheath. Do not peel open the sheath.
• Do not drop, jar, or shake the adapter.
• Do not place in direct sunlight.
• Do not use in high temperature or cold and humid environments.
Cleaning and Maintenance
• Many plastic parts are used in this DVD player casing. Do not use volatile chemicals such as benzene or thinner.
This might damage the finish.
• Wipe the casing with a soft, dry cloth. For excessive dirt, use a cloth dampened in a diluted neutral detergent. and wipe again with a
soft, dry cloth.
• Wipe off fingerprints or dirt on the LCD screen using a soft, dry cloth.
