*The parenthetic figure is the maximum number of characters for file/folder names in case the total number of files and folders is 313 or more.

This unit can play back files recorded in VBR (variable bit rate).

Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in elapsed time display, and do not show the actual elapsed time. Especially, after performing the search function, this difference becomes noticeable.

This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.

This unit cannot play back the following files:

– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3 PRO format.

– MP3 files encoded in an inappropriate format.

– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.

– WMA files encoded with lossless, professional, and voice format.

– WMA files which are not based upon Windows Media® Audio.

– WMA files copy-protected with DRM.

– Files which have the data such as WAVE, ATRAC3, etc.

The search function works but search speed is not constant.

Playing MP3/WMA tracks from a USB memory

While playing from a USB memory, the playback order may differ from other players.

This unit may be unable to play back some USB memories due to their characteristics or recording conditions.

Depending on the shape of the USB memories and connection ports, some USB memories may not be attached properly or the connection might be loose.

It is not recommended to use a USB memory wider than 20 mm as it will block you from pressing the 0 button.

If the connected USB memory does not have the correct files, “NO FILES” appears and the unit returns to the previous source.

This unit can show Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.

This unit can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the conditions below:

Changing the source

If you change the source, playback also stops. Next time you select the same source again, playback starts from where it has been stopped previously.

Ejecting a disc

If the ejected disc is not removed within

15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to protect it from dust. (Disc will not play this time.)
