cd/mp3 operation
Warning:
Do not insert cDs containing anything other
than standard audio or mP files into the disc slot. the
cD mechanism contains precision laser components which
could easily be damaged by inserting foreign objects.
important:
Because of the wide dynamic range offered
by cD systems, the difference in volume level between
very soft sounds and very loud sounds can be quite high.
For this reason we recommend that you avoid turning the
volume level up to loud when listening to very soft music or
tracks with no audio level, otherwise a sudden change to
very loud music could damage your speakers.
inserting the cd
remove the cD from it's case and insert the disc face
up into the front panel aperture. the cD mechanism will
automatically draw the disc into the player and start playing

precautions for cd-r and cd-rW discs
the Gr9000 will not play a cD that has not been finalised,
please refer to the instruction manual of the software
or the recorder you are using to write these cDs for the
finalisation process.
G r 9 0 0 0 s E r i E s
to ensure a more reliable playback, please follow GmE
recommendations:
• use cD-rWs with a speed of 1x to 4x and write with a
speed of 1x to x.
• use cD-rs with a speed of 1x to 8x and write with a
speed of 1x to x.
• Do not play cD-rWs that have been written to more that
5 times.
note: if a disc contains audio cD data and mP files, the
Gr9000 will only play which ever is first on the disc. if the
first track on the disc is an mP file, the unit will only play
the mP files from the disc, and will ignore all other files
and vice versa.
precautions for mp3
the format of the disc must be iso9660 level 1 or , or
Joliet or romeo in the expansion format.
When naming an mP file, ensure the file extension is '.mp3'
the Gr9000 will not recognise a non mP file even though
the name extension is '.mp3'.
