About CDs—Continued

MP3 file and folder names (excluding the extension) are shown on the display.

The emphasis is not supported.

Multisession discs are supported, however, some mul- tisession discs may take a long time to load and some may not load at all. When burning CDs we recom- mend that you use a single-session (disc-at-once), and select “Disc Close.”

Normally, the music in the audio session of a CD Extra disc is played. However, you can set the DX-7555 so that it plays any MP3 files in the data ses- sion of a CD-R/RW disc instead. If the data session contains no MP3 tracks, the audio session will be played regardless.

The following ID3 tags are supported: versions 1.0/ 1.1 and 2.2/2.3/2.4. Version 2.5 and later are not sup- ported. Normally, version 2.2/2.3/2.4 tags have prior- ity and will be displayed regardless of the ID3 VER 1 preference on page 21.

For ID3 version 2 tags, information contained in the beginning of the file are recognized. We recommend that you include only title, artist name, and album name information in ID3 tags. Compressed, encrypted, and unsynchronized ID3 tags cannot be displayed.

Some MP3 files may have ID3 tags whose information can be displayed no longer than 31 characters.

Notes:

With CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs that contain many files and folders, and files other than MP3s, it may take a long time to read the disc. We recommend that you include only MP3 files on your discs, use about 20 folders, and limit folder nesting to three lev- els deep.

In this manual, MP3 files are referred to as tracks.

Likewise, folders (directories) are referred to as groups.

About Playing Copy-controlled CDs

Some copy-controlled CDs may not conform to the offi- cial CD standard. These special discs may not play properly on the DX-7555.

Don’t load discs that are not audio discs (e.g., CD- ROMs designed for use with computers), as these may damage your speakers or amplifier.

Onkyo has incorporated advanced technologies to ensure that jitter is significantly reduced, providing a clearer and more accurate audio experience. The unit also features a direct digital output option, enhancing connectivity with external DACs for even greater audio customization.

User-friendly features include a large, clear display and intuitive controls, allowing for easy navigation through tracks and folders. The player also offers programming options for personalized listening experiences, enabling users to create their own playlists.

In conclusion, the Onkyo DX-7555 stands out as a premier CD player, marrying high-fidelity sound with a range of advanced features and technologies.
