to change the first track to be played. (All tracks are played
eventually, regardless of which is played first.)

Resume play

This function allows you to listen from the beginning of the track
where play stopped because the unit was powered off (or
switched to stop mode). It is useful when listening to CDs in the
car, etc.
For your reference:
≥If power is cut off near the end of a track (off mode), playback
may resume from the beginning of the next track.
≥If the unit is powered off and then a new disc is inserted, play
will begin from the middle of the new disc because the unit re-
members the position where play stopped on the previous disc.

Playing MP3 files

What is MP3 ?

A method of compressing audio, MPEG Audio Layer 3
(MP3) allows audio to be reduced to up to one tenth its
original size when a compression rate of 128 kbps is
used, without overtly hurting audio quality.

When creating MP3 files to play

on this unit

≥Disc formats:ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for
extended formats)
≥Files:MP3 files with the suffix “.mp3” or “.MP3”
≥MP3 files may not be played in the order you recorded
them. Note the following if you want the files to play in
the order you record them.
≥1Use software that records the files to the disc in file
name order.
≥2Prefix folder and file names with 3-digit numbers in
the order you want to play them.
≥3Give the files and folders names with 8 characters
or less, including the 3-digit prefix.
≥4It is better not to create folders (albums) within fold-
ers (such as shown in example 2).
This unit plays MP3 files in the following order.
Numbers such as 1show the order folders (albums) and
files (tracks) within them are played.
Example1: Recommended method when creating MP3
discs.
Example2: A disc not created in the recommended way.
≥Play will be in the order shown in the below diagram,
irrespective of folder and track names, so the order of
play in this example will be A#C#G#D, not
A#B#C#D. Folders and files in the same level will
be played in order according to their names.
≥Folders that do not contain MP3 files (“Falbum”in the
example) are skipped.
Example2Example1

Limitations on MP3

≥This unit cannot play files if they have a suffix other
than “.mp3” or “.MP3”.
≥This unit cannot play files that have the suffix “.mp3”
or “.MP3” if they are not MP3 files.
≥This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
≥This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there
are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to
start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to
avoid this.
≥This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.

Frequently asked questions

Q. Can I play a disc if it has both audio data and
MP3 data?
No. Only the data type used for the first track is
played.
Q. Is there a limit on the number of albums and tracks?
This unit can play a maximum of 999 albums and
999 tracks. The unit cannot play albums or tracks
beyond these limits.
Q. Why is sound interrupted between tracks?
The pick-up lens has to move to find the next track
so a few seconds of silence is normal.
Q. Can I use 700-MB data?
Yes, you can.
