Key control function
The key of the music can be changed during stop, playback or
playback standby modes. However, please note that this feature
does not work with MP3 discs.
1. Press the MENU key to select the KEY option in the
PLAY sub-menu (see “Operation basics” on page
16) to enter the function.
Or, press the KEY key on the remote control to set
the function on.
The KEY indicator will light up.
2. Use the KEY LEVEL option in the PLAY sub-menu
to adjust the playback key level.
The playback key can be raised or lowered 1/2
octave in half-tone increments. Selection values: 0
(no change), â1 to â6, ã1 to ã6.
3. Rotate the MULTI JOG dial to select the desired key
level and push to enter.
NOTE
In this condition, when a CD is played back, the key
of the music is changed while the speed of the music
remains the same.
Even when the power is turned off, the key change
setting is retained.
When the Key control function is on, even if the Pitch
control function is used to change the playback speed,
the key of playback will remain fixed at the preset key
{even if the key level is 0 (zero)}, the Key control func-
tion can be turned on.
When using the key control function, the volume of
the playback sound may occasionally sound like it is
vibrating. This is a result of the key control algorithm
working on the CD playback sound and is normal.
MP3 files recorded onto a CD are handled the same way as files
are handled in an ordinary PC, with some MP3 files held within
a directory. In addition, several directories can be combined into
one directory. This results in multiple layers of directories and
files.
When the Directory mode is on, only those files within a selected
directory are available for playback.
When the directory mode is off, the directory configuration is
ignored, and all MP3 files recorded on the disc are available for
playback. Please note that Program playback and Repeat play-
back only function within directories.
NOTE
Each MP3 file is handled as a track.
Directories that do not contain MP3 files directly
under them cannot be selected for playback. For
example, in the diagram below, under directory A are
directory B and directory C. If there are MP3 files in
both directories B and C, directory A cannot be select-
ed for playback, but directory B and C can be selected
for playback.
The CD-RW900MKII can play back MP3 files recorded in
formats that conform to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, and the Joliet
extensions. Discs recorded in multiple sessions may also be
played back.
CDs containing MP3s to be played by the CD-RW900MKII, have
their contents must be within the following maximum limits:
Number of directories: 255
Number of hierarchical structures: 8
Number of MP3 files: 999
Title size of MP3 files and directories: 255
