Disc Notes
Supported Discs
The CBX-300 supports the following discs.
• Some audio CDs use copy protection that doesn’t con-
form to the official CD standard. Since these are non-
standard discs, they may not play properly in the
CBX-300.
• The CBX-300 supports CD-R and CD-RW discs.
However, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not
work properly for any of the following reasons: disc
burner characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is
damaged or dirty. See the manual supplied with your
disc burner for more information. Condensation or dirt
on the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.
• The CBX-300 supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.
• The CBX-300 does not support disc types not listed.
• Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those
shown below, as you may damage the CBX-300.
• Don’t use discs that have residue from adhesive tape,
rental discs with peeling labels, or discs with custom-
made labels or stickers. Doing so may damage the
CBX-300 and you may not be able to remove the disc
properly.
Discs Made on Personal Computers
Discs made on personal computers, including those of a
compatible format, may not work properly in the
CBX-300 because of incorrect settings in the disc burn-
ing software. Check the manuals supplied with your disc
burning software for additional compatibility informa-
tion.
MP3/WMA Compatibility
• The CBX-300 can play MP3 and WMA files recorded
on CD-R and CD-RW discs.
• Discs must be in ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2, Romeo
or Joliet compliant. Supported formats: Mode 1, Mode
2 Form 1.
• Multisession discs are supported, however, some mul-
tisession discs may take a long time to load and some
may not load at all. When burning CDs, we recom-
mend that you use a single-session (disc-at-once) and
select “Disc Close.”
•You can determine the order in which the CBX-300
plays the MP3/WMA files in a folder by prefixing file
names with a 3-digit number. For example,
001.Track.mp3, 002.Track.mp3, and so on.
• Disc, file, and folder names may contain up to 30 char-
acters. MP3/WMA file and folder names (excluding
the extension) are shown on the display.

and folders. Files and folders in excess of this cannot
be played. Note that if the file and folder structure is
very complicated, the CBX-300 may not be able to
read or play all of the MP3/WMA files on the disc.
• MP3/WMA files without the proper extension will not
be recognized. To prevent noise and malfunction, do
not use these extensions for other types of files.
