Anti-Skip System; Other Play Methods; Playing Mp3 Files; Changing The Sound Quality - Panasonic SL-MP35 Operating Instructions Manual

Anti-Skip System

This system deals with skipping in a variety
of ways:
≥An anti-skip mechanism prevents skipping caused
when play speed changes due to swinging of the unit.
≥A recovery system immediately returns the laser pick-
up to its original position if it is knocked off the track by
a strong shock.

Other Play Methods

The letters such as F in the various illustrations refer to the descriptions in the "Location of Controls" section (see page 2).

Playing MP3 files
What is MP3?
A method of compressing audio, MPEG Audio Layer 3
(MP3) allows audio to be reduced to up to one tenth its
original size when a compression rate of 128 kbps is
used, without overtly hurting audio quality.
When creating MP3 files to play
on this unit
≥Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for
extended formats)
≥Files: MP3 files with the suffix ".mp3" or ".MP3"
≥MP3 files may not be played in the order you recorded
them. Note the following if you want the files to play in
the order you record them.
1 Use software that records the files to the disc in file
≥
name order.
≥2 Prefix folder and file names with 3-digit numbers in
the order you want to play them.
≥3 Give the files and folders names with 8 characters
or less, including the 3-digit prefix.
≥4 It is better not to create folders (albums) within fold-
ers (such as shown in example 2).
4
≥The anti-skip memory (maximum 45 seconds when
playing CD-DA and maximum 100 seconds when
playing 128 kbps MP3) fills in interruptions caused by
bumps and vibrations.
The anti-skip system works automatically while the
system is on and cannot be canceled.
Program play
Up to 20 tracks can be entered in the programmed se-
quence.
Preparation: Put unit in stop mode.

This unit plays MP3 files in the following order.
Numbers such as 1 show the order folders (albums) and
files (tracks) within them are played.
Example1: Recommended method when creating MP3
discs.
Example2: A disc not created in the recommended way.
≥Play will be in the order shown in the below diagram,
irrespective of folder and track names, so the order of
play in this example will be A # C # G # D, not
A # B # C # D. Folders and files in the same level will
be played in order according to their names.
≥Folders that do not contain MP3 files ( "Falbum" in the
example) are skipped.

≥This unit cannot play files that have the suffix ".mp3"
or ".MP3" if they are not MP3 files.
≥This unit can display album and track titles with ID3
tags (version 1.0 and 1.1). Titles including text data
the unit doesn't support cannot be displayed.

are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to
start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to
avoid this.
