Playing MP3/WMA/AAC Data (PLAY MODE)

CD-DA (Initial setting) / CD-DA&MP3
This unit can play back CDs containing both CD and MP3 /WMA/AAC
data (created in Enhanced CD (CD Extra) format). However, in some
situations, playback of an enhanced CD may be difficult. In this case,
you can select playback of a single session only, containing the CD
data. When a disc contains both CD and MP3/WMA/AAC data,
playback starts from the CD data portion of the disc.
CD-DA: Only the CD data in Session 1 can be played
back.
CD-DA&MP3: CD data, MP3/WMA/AAC files in mixed mode, and
multi-session discs can be played back.
• Perform this setting before inserting a disc. If a disc has already been
inserted, remove it first. (If you use an MP3 changer, you have to
change discs.)
