!When playing discs with MP3/WMA files and
audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and

only by switching mode between MP3/WMA
and CD-DA with BAND.
!If you have switched between playback of
MP3/WMA files and audio data (CD-DA), play-
back starts at the first track on the disc.
!The built-in CD player can play back an MP3/
WMA file recorded on CD-ROM. (Refer to
page 50 for files that can be played back.)
!Do not insert anything other than a CD into
the CD loading slot.

up playback and the sound being issued. This
is particularly the case when playing back
