÷<Hints for disc creation>

When setting of the playback order is desired, insert successive numbers like “01” to “99” in front of the folder and file names. However, depending on the writing software, writing may not be done in the intended order.

÷As folder 3 is included in folder 2, 4 has priority over 6.

÷When playback shifts from JPEG images to MP3/WMA audio (example: from 4 to 5), the audio is played back with displayed image.

÷With skipping from MP3/WMA audio to JPEG images (example: from 3 to 4), the audio stops and the image is displayed.

÷With a hierarchy exceeding 8 levels, the folders in the eighth level are displayed along with the last folder of the playback order.
