Basic MP3 Operations

Make sure that the TV/DVD switch 1 on the remote control is set to “DVD” when using the

￿￿￿￿, numeric and TV/VIDEO - CANCEL buttons for controlling the RDV-1040.

The RDV-1040 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.

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.

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 re- garded 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.”

English

•The RDV-1040 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.
