How to use this manual
• The instructions in this manual are for model
CMT-HPX10W, CMT-HPX9 and CMT-
HPX7. Check your model number by looking
at the top of the unit. In this manual, CMT-
HPX7 is used for illustration purposes unless
stated otherwise. Any difference in operation
is clearly indicated in the text, for example,
“CMT-HPX10W only”.
• CD-ROMs
• CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than those recorded in
the following formats:
– music CD format
– MP3 format that conforms to ISO 9660*
Level 1/Level 2, Joliet, Romeo or Multi
Session**
• A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g.,
card, heart).
• A disc with paper or stickers on it.
• A disc that has the adhesive, cellophane tape,
or a sticker still left on it.
• This manual mainly explains operations using
the remote, but the same operations can also
be performed using the buttons on the system
having the same or similar names.
* ISO 9660 Format
Playable discs
The most common international standard for the
logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. In Level 1,
file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than
8 characters in the name, no more than 3 characters
in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital letters.
Folder names can be no longer than 8 characters.
There can be no more than 8 nested folder levels.
Level 2 specifications allow file names and folder
names up to 31 characters long. Each folder can
have up to 8 trees.
You can play back the following discs on this
system. Other discs cannot be played back.

CD-R/CD-RW
(audio data/MP3 files)
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format make
sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.
**Multi Session
This is a recording method that enables adding of
data using the Track-At-Once method.
Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called
the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A
Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions,
with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out
regarded as a single session.
CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD
data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks
in session 2.
Mixed CD: This format records data on the first
track and audio (audio CD data) on the second and
subsequent tracks of a session.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
Music discs encoded with
copyright protection
technologies
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs cannot be played
on this system depending upon the recording
quality or physical condition of the disc, or
the characteristics of the recording device.
Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not
been correctly finalized. For more
information, see the operating instructions for
the recording device.
This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies are marketed
by some record companies. Please be aware that
among those discs, there are some that do not
conform to the CD standard and may not be
playable by this product.
• Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may
not be played back because of scratches, dirt,
recording condition or the driver’s
characteristics.
Cautions when playing a disc
that is recorded in Multi
Session
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi-
session that have not ended by “closing the
session” are not supported.
• The system may be unable to play MP3
format files that do not have the extension
“.MP3”.
• If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is
recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and
MP3 sessions are played back without sound.
• If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is
recognized as an MP3 disc, and CD-DA
sessions are played back without sound.
• The playback range of an MP3 disc is
determined by the tree structure of files
produced by analyzing of the disc.
• Attempting to play non-MP3 format files that
have the extension “.MP3” may result in noise
or malfunction.
• With formats other than ISO 9660 Level 1 and
2, folder names or file names may not be
displayed correctly.
• The following discs take a longer time to start
playback.
• A disc with a mixed CD format will be
recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.
– a disc recorded with complicated tree
structure.
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.
– a disc to which data can be added (non-
finalized disc).

What is the Radio Data
System?
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send
additional information along with the regular
program signal. RDS is available only on FM
stations.*
• To record the radio programs, use manual recording
(page 18).
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned
in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the
signal is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they
provide the same types of services. If you are not
familiar with the RDS system, check with your local
radio stations for details on RDS services in your
area.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, the station name appears in the display.
To check the RDS information
Each time you press DISPLAY the display
changes cyclically as follows:
