Basic and Common Opera tions (see page 3)
• Pressing one of the source buttons also turns on the System
and starts playing back .
Playing Back a Disc/USB Mass Storage Class Devic e
(see page 4)
• This System cannot play “packet write ” discs.
• For MP3/WMA pla yback...
– In this manual, “file ” and “track” are interchangeably used
for MP3/WMA operations .
– This System can sho w the T ag data ( V ersion 1).
– MP3/WM A discs are requir ed a longer readout time than
regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/
file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be pla yed back and will be
skipped. This r esult from their recor ding processes and
conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 L evel 1 or
Level 2 f or the disc format.
– This System can pla y back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the
letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This
System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than
64 kbps.
– Pla yback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be diff erent fr om
the one you have intended while r ecording. If a folder
does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they ar e ignored .
• For the USB mass storage class device playback...
– When connecting a USB mass storage class device, also
refer t o its manual.
– Connect one USB mass storage class device to the Syst em
at a time. Do not use a USB hub.
– This System is compatible with USB 2.0 F ull Speed.
– Y ou can play back MP3/WMA files in a USB mass storage
class device (maximum data transfer rate: 2 Mbps).
– Y ou cannot play back a file larger than 2 Gigabyte.
– This System cannot r ecognize a USB mass storage class
device whose rating is other than 5 V and does not exceed
500 mA.
– This System ma y not play back some USB mass storage
class devices and does not support DRM (Digital Rights
Management).
• This System can recognize up to 511 tracks in a disc/USB
mass storage class device. Also , the System can recogniz e
up to 150 tracks per group and up to 99 g roups in a disc/
USB mass storage class device (for MP3/WM A).
– Pla yable files which do not belong to any gr oups are
handled as Group 1.
Listening to Digital Audio Play er (see page 6)
• When the sound signal from the Digital A udio Player is too
weak, QP Link may not function correctly.
In this case, turn up the volume of the Digital Audio Pla yer
so that the System can detect the sound signal properly .
• Changing from “LINE” to another sour ce while QP Link works
will deactivate QP Link temporarily.
In this case, the following r eactivate QP Link:
– P ressing and holding QP LINK on the remot e control.
– When no sound signal comes fr om the LINE IN jack for
about 30 seconds after the System is turned off.
• I f you pr ess
button to turn the System off or if preset
Timer turns the System off while QP Link works, the System
deactivates QP Link temporarily. In such cases, the f ollowing
reactivate QP Link:
– When no sound signal comes fr om the LINE IN jack for
about 30 seconds after the System is turned off.
– When you turn on the power again.
