NOTES
•The unit does not support “packet write” discs.
•If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly and do not belong to any Group (folder), the unit recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.
•The unit does not output a digital audio signal from DIGITAL OUT when playing back an MP3 disc.
•Some disc may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.
•The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in the alphabetical order.
For example, if there are three Groups titled [one], [two] and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then [two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.
