NOTES
•The unit does not support "packet writing" discs.
•Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be played back normally because of the disc configuration or characteristics determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Such symptoms may occur regardless of whether using a disc you recorded or using a commercially available disc.
•The unit does not support the ID3 tag.
•If the disc is recorded with multiple sessions, the unit supports up to five sessions.
•Some discs may not play due to disc characteristics or recording conditions.
•Programmed and random playback functions do not work with MP3 discs.
•The unit only can play back Tracks with the following file extensions; ".MP3," ".Mp3," ".mp3" and ".mP3."
•Time required for reading the disc contents may vary for defferent discs, depending on the numbers of Groups (folders) and Tracks (files) recorded, etc.
•While an MP3 disc is loaded, you cannot bring up any preference display. (See page 57.)

About MP3 discs
On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file. Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, category, etc. Folders can exist within other folders, creating hierarchical layers of folders. If you are familiar with personal computers, the hierarchical file and folder structure of an MP3 disc will be familiar to you as well. This unit simplifies the hierarchical structure of a disc and manages files and folders using "Tracks" and "Groups," in the following manner.
• | Each file is regarded as a Track. |
• | A folder which has one or more files (Tracks) is |
| regarded as a Group. |
• | A folder which does not directly contain any files is |
| ignored. |
• | Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped |
