Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now its time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associations Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One
that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortionand, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds normal can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against
this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Associations Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Terms
Bit rate
This expresses data volume per second, or bps
units (bits per second). The higher the rate,
the more information is available to reproduce
the sound. Using the same encoding method
(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better
the sound.
ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in an MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artists name, the album title, the music genre,
the year of production, comments and other
data. The contents can be freely edited using
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.
Although the tags are restricted as to the number of characters, the information can be
viewed when the track is played back.
ISO9660 format
This is the international standard for the format logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the
ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the
following two levels.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name consists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English
capital letters and half-byte numerals and the
_ sign, with a file-extension of three characters).
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters (including the separation mark . and a file extension). Each folder contains less than 8
hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.

Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code

modulation
This stands for linear pulse code modulation,
which is the signal recording system used for
music CDs and DVDs.
m3u
Playlists created using the WINAMP software have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an
audio compression standard set by a working
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standards Organization). MP3 is able to compress
audio data to about 1/10th the level of a conventional disc.
MS ADPCM
This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential
pulse code modulation, which is the signal recording system used for the multimedia software of Microsoft Corporation.
Multi-session
Multi-session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later.
When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or
CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is
treated as a single unit or session. Multi-session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions on one disc.
Number of quantization bits
The sound quality of WAV files generally becomes better with a larger number of quantization bits. This unit can play recordings with
8 and 16 (LPCM) or 4 (MS ADPCM) quantization bits, but in order to be able to enjoy sound
of a certain quality, we recommend using
discs recorded with the larger number of
quantization bits.
Appendix
English
Packet write
This is a general term for a method of writing
on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file,
just as is done with files on floppy or hard
discs.
VBR
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally
speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more
widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit
rate according to the needs of audio compression, it is possible to achieve compressionpriority sound quality.
WAV
WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard
audio file format for Windows.
WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio
and refers to an audio compression technology that is developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using
Windows Media Player version 7 or later.
