•Discs must be finalized.

•The RDV-1.1 can only recognize the first session on multisession discs.

•You can determine the order in which the RDV-1.1 plays/displays your MP3 songs and JPEG pictures by prefixing file and folder names with a three-digit num- ber. For example 001.Root, 002.Folder, and so on, and 001.Track.mp3, 002.Track.mp3, and so on.

•Only the first eight characters of folder and track names (excluding the filename extension) appear on the display.

•The folder numbered “001” appears as “ROOT” in the Disc Navigator.
