Text:

Text compatible CDs contain text information such as the disc name and track name. Such text information is referred to as “text.”

Some characters may not be displayed correctly with this device, depending on the character type.

When the Scroll Setting (page 26) is set to “SCROLL MANUAL,” press and hold TITLE for at least 2 seconds to scroll the Text information only once (TEXT DISPLAY, FOLDER NAME DISPLAY, FILE NAME DISPLAY or TAG DISPLAY mode).
