MP3/CD OPERATION

Set the Function switch to the MP3/CD position to listen to MP3-CDs or regular audio CDs.

What is an MP3-CD?

MP3-CDs are CDs that contain MP3 music files. Approximately 200 files can fit on one 700MB CD — in compari- son, a regular audio CD can fit approximately 20 tracks. Each MP3 file on the MP3-CD is recognized by the player as an audio track. The buttons “10+” and “10-” make it easier to find and play a MP3-CD track.

If you own a computer equipped with a CD-R/RW burner and the appropriate mastering software, you may create your own MP3-CDs (see your burner or computer’s documentation for more information).
