•This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
•For MP3 playback...
–MP3 discs are required a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.)

–It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
–This System can recognize the total of 500 tracks and of 200 groups. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be recognized.
–Playback order of MP3 tracks may be different from the one you have intended while recording. If a folder does not include MP3 tracks, they are ignored.
