CDC 3.4 - MP3 & APD (Auto Power Down) Preferences

Setting the MP3 & APD Preferences

This section explains how to set various preferences for MP3 discs and the APD (Auto Power Down) function. Preferences are divided into two groups: Basic and Extra.
You must use the buttons on the CDC-3.4 to set these preferences, not the remote controller.

1. Stop playback.
   If the Memory function is on, turn it off.
2. Press and hold the Stop [] button until “SETTING” appears on the display (about 4 seconds).
3. Press the Stop [] button again.
   “BASIC ITEMS” appears on the display.
4. Use the buttons to select “BASIC ITEMS” or “EXTRA ITEMS,” and then press the Stop [] button.
5. Use the buttons to select a setting for the first preference, and then press the Stop [] button. The preference is set and the next preference appears.
6. Repeat steps 5 to set the other preferences.
   When all the preferences in the group have been set, the previous display reappears.
   If you want to cancel this procedure at anytime, press the [Standby] button. The CDC-3.4 will enter
   Standby mode. The Basic and Extra preferences are explained in the following sections. The settings available for each preference are shown in parenthesis, with the default setting on the left.

Basic Items

DISC NAME (DISPLAY/NOT DISPLAY)

This preference determines whether or not the disc name is displayed when an MP3 disc is read.

TRACK NAME (SCROLL/NOT SCROLL)

This preference determines whether or not the track name scrolls across the display when an MP3 track is
selected.

FOLDER NAME (SCROLL/NOT SCROLL)

This preference determines whether or not the folder name scrolls across the display when an MP3 folder is selected.

BAD NAME (REPLACE/NOT REPLACE)

This preference determines whether or not track and folder names that contain undisplayable characters are replaced with “TRACK n” or “FOLDER n,” “n” being the track or folder number. When set to NOT REPLACE, displayable characters are displayed and underscores are used in place of any undisplayable characters. For ID3 tags, underscores are used in place of undisplayable characters regardless of this preference.

APD (ON/OFF)

This preference turns the Auto Power Down function ON or OFF. When set to ON, the Auto Power Down
function will automatically set the CDC-3.4 to Standby when playback has stopped and there’s no operation for 30 minutes. The default setting for North American models is OFF. For other models it’s ON.
Note:
Track and folder names are scrolled in Navigation mode regardless of the TRACK NAME and FOLDER NAME preferences.

 

Extra Items

ID3 VER 1 (READ/NOT READ)

This preference determines whether or not version 1.0/1.1 tags are read and displayed. When set to NOT
READ, version 1.0/1.1 tags will not be displayed.

ID3 VER 2 (READ/NOT READ)

This preference determines whether or not version 2.3/2.4 tags are read and displayed. When set to NOT
READ, version 2.3/2.4 ID3 tags will not be displayed.

CD-EXTRA (AUDIO/MP3)

This preference applies to CD Extra discs and determines whether music in the audio session or MP3 tracks in the data session are played.

JOLIET (USE SVD/ISO9660)

This preference applies to MP3 discs in Joliet format and determines whether the CDC-3.4 reads the SVD data or treats the disc as an ISO 9660 disc. Normally, this preference doesn’t need to be changed.
SVD (Supplementary Volume Descriptor) supports long file and folder names and characters other than letters and numbers. Some CD burning software refers to the Joliet format as “Windows format.
