MP3 Playback, Selecting and playing albums folders

recorded by any recorder that complies with the "Orange book" of CD-R/CD-RW standards.

The player can play only those discs recorded in the music format (CD-DA) or using MP3 files.

If there is not much recording time, it may be difficult for the data to be read, and it may cause an error.

When the player is to play a CD-RW disc or unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW disc, it automatically recognizes the type of disc and changes some of its internal settings to suit the disc concerned. For this reason, the disc reading process will take a little longer compared to regular music CDs or CD-R discs.

MP3 PLAYBACK

This player can play CD-R/CD-RW discs as well as discs including MP3* files.

*“MP3” refers to music data which has been compressed by a file format known as “MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3.” Files with the “.mp3” or “.MP3” extension are called MP3 files.
