Questions and Answers

An MP3 disc requires a long readout time…?

When an MP3 disc is inserted, information inside the disc (number of folders and files, and positions of data) is first read.

So, in the following cases, a fairly long time may be needed before playback starts:

•If the file structure is complicated,

•If the number of files is large, or

•If the number of sessions is large (in case of multi-session discs).

There occurs sound interruption or sound skipping…?

Sound interruption or sound skipping may occur, depending on recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stain, scratch, warp, etc.).

MP3 files are not played back in an intended order…?

This player plays back MP3 files in the order they are organized on the disc.

•The playback order may differ from your intended order because of your writing software.

Elapsed playing time is not displayed correctly…?

Files recorded in VBR (variable bit rate) have a discrepancy in elapsed time display, and do not show the actual passage of time. Especially, after performing the search function, this difference

becomes noticeable.

About functions restrained during MP3 playback

•The search function works but search speed is not constant during search.

•When skip is tried at the last file in a folder, the next folder is selected.
