MP3 DISC PLAYBACK
The MP3 function supports the following discs ; MP3 and MP3/CD mixed discs (MP3 + CDDA) multi-
session recorded discs. The MP3 playing function is accessed by the MP3 button on the remote control.
MP3 discs automatically convert the playing function to the MP3 On Mode without pressing the MP3
button. Any mixed MP3/CD discs will be read as CDDA. With these CDs, conversion to the MP3 On Mode
will occur only after pressing the MP3 button.
MP3 operation is possible in both CDP and CDR. However if one deck is in the MP3 Play Mode, the other
deck cannot function in the MP3 Play mode. The MP3 function allows playing options like RANDOM, SKIP,
and the use of the number buttons. However, it does not provide the Search function. In this mode only
MP3 discs can be played. The disc in the deck in MP3 Play Mode can proceed with the ODubbing� of CDDA

does not support OExternal Digital Out.�

HDCD DISC PLAYBACK
HDCD IS?
HDCD, which stands for High Definition Compatible Digital¨, is a sophisticated process that enables the
unit to deliver outstanding digital-to-analog decoding, no matter what type of CD is played.
When a disc with the HDCD logo is played, this unit is able to take advantage of the special recording
process that is used in the creation of HDCD discs. Although HDCD discs are playable on any CD player,
when they are used in a unit such as this unit, the special circuitry delivers audio with extraordinary fidelity,
stunning resolution and the highest possible overall quality. The HDCD process effectively cancels the
additive and subtractive distortions that are present in other recordings.
No special adjustment is required to play a HDCD disc. Simply play the disc as you would any other CD,
and this unit will automatically sense that it is a HDCD recording. If the special circuitry (Processor) is not
used by another deck to decode a MP3 CD or even another HDCD disc, the HDCD indicator will light in
the Information Display on the front panel to remind you that a HDCD disc is playing.
It is important to note that the HDCD process is completely compatible with standard recordings. Its high-
quality digital-to-analog circuitry provides enhanced play-back from all standard CD audio discs.
