Operations

The player can play back MP3 files and WMA files on a home recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercially available CD. We refer to a disc that contains MP3 and/or WMA files as an “MP3/WMA disc” in this manual.

Note that if a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and JPEG files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the [MP3&WMA/JPEG] setting in the [PICTURE] preference display

playback (see page 26).

disc	About MP3/WMA discs
	On an MP3/WMA disc, each song is recorded as a file (track).
MP3/WMA
	• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.
	Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.
	• Each file is regarded as a track.
	• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
	• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group
	1.”
	• The player recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99
	groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3/WMA files,
	they also count in the 150-file total.
	Max. 99 groups per disc
