Basic and Common Operations (see page 3)
• Pressing one of the source buttons also turns on the
System and starts playing back.
Playing Back a Disc/USB Mass Storage Class Device
(see page 4)
• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used
for MP3/WMA operations.
– This System can show the Tag data (Version 1).
– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than
regular CDs. (It depends on the comple ity of the group/
file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be
skipped. This result from their recording processes and
conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the
e tension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the
letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA 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.
– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from
the one you have intended while recording. If a folder
does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.
• For the USB mass storage class device playback...
– When connecting a USB mass storage class device, also
refer to its manual.
– Connect one USB mass storage class device to the
System at a time. Do not use a USB hub.
– This System is compatible with the USB Full-Speed (not
compatible with the USB 1.1).
– You can play back MP3/WMA files in a USB mass storage
class device (ma imum data transfer rate: 2 Mbps).
– You cannot play back a file larger than 2 Gigabyte.
– This System cannot recognize a USB mass storage class
device whose rating is other than 5 V and does not
e ceed 500 mA.
– This System may not play back some USB mass storage
class devices and does not support DRM (Digital Rights
Management).
• An iPod does not play on the USB MEMORY terminal.
• This System can recognize up to 511 tracks in a disc/USB
mass storage class device. Also, the System can recognize
up to 150 tracks per group and up to 99 groups in a disc/
USB mass storage class device (for MP3/WMA).
– Playable files which do not belong to any groups are
handled as Group 1.
Listening to iPod (see page 6)
• If the iPod does not play correctly, update your iPod
Software to the latest version. For details about updating
your iPod, check on the Apple web site
<http://www.apple.com>.
• The iPod battery cannot be charged while the System is in
the Save mode.
• When the iPod is not charged through the System, the
iPod may not be turned on from the System.
• You cannot send any data to your iPod from the System.
• Sound distortion may occur when playing back audio
sources with high recording levels. When distortion occurs,
it is recommended to turn off the equalizer of the iPod. For
information on operating the iPod, see the iPod instruction
manual.
• Do not touch or hit the iPod terminal pins or connector
pins directly. It might cause damages to the connector
part.
Listening to Digital Audio Player (see page 6)
• When the sound signal from the Digital Audio Player is too
weak, QP Link may not function correctly.
In this case, turn up the volume of the Digital Audio Player
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 reactivate QP Link:
– Pressing and holding QP LINK on the remote control.
– When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack for
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 reactivate QP Link:
– When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack for
about 30 seconds after the System is turned off.
– When you turn on the power again.
Setting the Clock and Daily Timer (see page 7)
• You can set the clock and Daily Timer while the Save mode
is turned on. While setting the clock or Daily Timer, the
display is turning on.
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this
happens, readjust the clock.
