Operations

The unit can play back MP3 files and WMA files on a home recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercially available CD. We refer to a disc that contains MP3 and/or WMA files as an “MP3/WMA disc” in this manual.

Note that if a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and JPEG files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the [MP3&WMA/JPEG] setting in the [PICTURE] preference display. (see page 28).

About MP3/WMA discs

On an MP3/WMA disc, each song is recorded as a file (track). Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.

Each file is regarded as a track.

A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.

A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.

Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group 1.”

The unit recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99 groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3/WMA files, they also count in the 150-file total.

As for WMA files, make sure that the copyright feature is set to off.

As for WMA files, we recommend you to record your material at a bit rate of 64 kbps or higher.
