At varioustimes of the day this large networkmay be broken down into a numberof smaller regional networks, typicallycentred on major towns or cities.When the network is not split intoregional variants, the whole networkcaries the same programming.

Regional mode ON (default): Thisprevents 'random' AF switches whenneighbouring regional networks arenot carrying the same programming.

19

Audio unit menus

Regional mode OFF: This allows alarger coverage area if neighbouringregional networks are carrying thesame programming, but can cause'random' AF switches if they are not.


• Press the menu button briefly.• Use the up or down arrow

ALTERNATIVEFREQUENCIES

Many programmes broadcast on theFM waveband have a programmeidentification (PI) code, which can berecognised by audio units.

If your radio has AF tuning switchedon and you move from onetransmission area to another, thisfacility will search for and switch to astronger station signal, if one can befound.

Under certain conditions, however,alternative frequency tuning maytemporarily disrupt normal reception.

With ‘AF-ON’ or ‘AF-AUTO’ selected,the unit continually evaluates signalstrength and, if a better signalbecomes available, the unit will switchto that alternative. It mutes while itchecks a list of alternativefrequencies and, if necessary, it willsearch once across the selectedwaveband for a genuine alternativefrequency.

It will restore radio reception when itfinds one or, if one is not found, theunit will return to the original storedfrequency. On certain units, ‘NotFound’ will be displayed.

With ‘AF-MAN’ selected, the unitoperates in a similar way to‘AF-AUTO’ or ‘AF-ON’, but onlysearches for an alternative frequencywhen prompted by pressing a presetbutton.

With ‘AF-OFF’ selected, the originalstored frequency remains selected.In this mode, ‘AF-OFF’ will bedisplayed every time the unit is turnedon.

Sony CD/6CD

• Press the MENU button and usethe up or down arrow button toselect an ‘AF’ display.

NEWS BROADCASTS

Some audio units interrupt normalreception to broadcast news bulletinsfrom stations on the FM wavebandor RDS-EON linked stations, in thesame way as traffic information isprovided.

During news broadcasts, the displayalternates between the station nameand ‘NEWS’. News interrupts arebroadcast at the same preset volumelevel as traffic announcements.

Except Sony CD/6CD

• Press and hold the MENU buttonuntil a 'NEWS' display appears.

On designated units, searches canbe based on one of theseclassifications so that you canchoose to listen to a particular typeof programme.

Note: This feature is not enabled onSony Generation 2 units.

MP3 FILE PLAYBACK

Sony 6CD Generation 2 andall Sony CD

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is astandard technology and format forcompressing audio data. This allowsa more efficient use of the media.

You can play MP3 files recorded onCD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. Thedisc must be in the ISO 9660 level 1or level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeoin the expansion format. You can alsouse a disc recorded in Multi Session.

ISO 9660 format

This is the most commoninternational standard for the logicalformat of files and folders on aCD-ROM.

32

Compact disc player

There are several specification levels.In Level 1, file names must be in the8.3 format (no more than 8characters in the name, no morethan 3 characters in the extension“.MP3”) and in capital letters.

Folder names can be no longer than8 characters. There can be no morethan 8 folder levels (trees). Level 2specifications allow file names up to31 characters long.

Each folder can have up to 8 trees.

For Joliet or Romeo in the expansionformat, please consider theserestrictions when configuring yourCD writing software.

Multi session

This is a recording method thatenables adding of data using theTrack-At-Once method.

Conventional CDs begin at a CDcontrol area called the Lead-in andend at an area called Lead-out. AMulti Session CD is a CD havingmultiple sessions, with each segmentfrom Lead-in to Lead-out regardedas a single session.

• CD-Extra: The format that recordsaudio (audio CD data) as trackson session 1, and records data astracks on session 2.

• Mixed CD: In this format, data isrecorded as track 1, and audio(audio CD data) is recorded astrack 2.

File formats

• With formats other than ISO 9660level 1 and level 2, folder namesor file names may not bedisplayed correctly.

• When naming, be sure to add thefile extension “.MP3” to the filename.

• If you put the extension “.MP3” toa file other than MP3, the unitcannot recognize the file properlyand will generate random noisethat could damage your speakers.

• The following discs take a longertime to start playback.• a disc recorded with

complicated tree structure.• a disc recorded in Multi

Session.• a non-finalised disc to which

data can be added.

Playing a multi session disc

When the first track of the firstsession is audio CD data

Only audio CD data of the firstsession is played back. Non-audioCD data/MP3 file information (tracknumber, time, etc.) is displayed withno sound.

When the first track of the firstsession is not audio CD data

33

Compact disc player

• If an MP3 file is in the disc, onlyMP3 file(s) play back and otherdata is skipped. (Audio CD data isnot recognised.)

• If no MP3 file is in the disc, nothingis played back. (Audio CD data isnot recognised.)

MP3 files playback order

The playback order of the folders andfiles is as shown.

Note: A folder that does not includean MP3 file is skipped.

Playback tip: To specify a desiredplayback order, before the folder orfile name, input the order by number(e.g., “01,” “02”), then recordcontents onto a disc. (The orderdiffers depending on the writingsoftware.) E66143

ID3 Tag Version 2

The following occurs when an MP3file containing ID3 tag ver.2 is played:

34

Compact disc player

• When skipping a portion of ID3 tagver.2 (at the beginning of thetrack), sound is not output. Skiptime changes depending ID3 tagver.2 capacity. Example: At 64kbytes, it is about 2 seconds (withRealJukebox).

• The displayed elapsed playingtime when skipping a portion ofID3 tag ver.2 is inaccurate. ForMP3 files of a bit rate other than128 kbps, time is not displayedaccurately during playback.

• When an MP3 file is created withMP3 conversion software (e.g.RealJukebox - a registeredtrademark of RealNetworks Inc),ID3 ver.2 will automatically bewritten.

MP3 navigation

MP3 tracks may be recorded on theCD in several ways. They can all beplaced in the root directory like aconventional audio CD, or they canbe placed in folders that mayrepresent, for example, an album, anartist, or a genre.

The normal playing sequence on CDswith multiple folders is to play thetracks in the first folder, then thetracks in any folder(s) nested insidethe first folder, then move onto thesecond folder, and so forth. Forexample, if folder 1 has folders 1a and1b within it, and folder 2 containsfolder 2a, the playing sequence willbe folder 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 2a.
