MP3/WMA

Playing MP3/WMA Data (PLAY MODE)

CDDA (Initial setting) / CDDA/MP3
This product can playback CDs containing both CD and MP3/WMA
data. However, in some situations (some enhanced CDs), playback may
be difficult. For these special cases, you can select playback of CD data
only. When a disc contains both CD or the MP3/WMA data, playback
starts from the CD data portion of the disc.
CDDA: Only CD data can be played back.
CDDA/MP3: Both CD data and MP3/WMA file tracks can
be played back.
• Perform this setting before inserting a disc. If a disc has already been
inserted, perform the setting after you remove the disc. (If you use an
MP3 changer, you have to change discs.)
