First Second Third level level level

Notes

The equipment assigns folder numbers. The user can not assign folder numbers.

When playing discs with WMA and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED- MODE CD, both types can be played only by switching mode between WMA and CD-DA with BAND.

It is not possible to check folders that do not include WMA files. (These folders will be skipped without displaying the folder num- ber.)

WMA files in up to 8 tiers of folders can be played back. However, there is a delay in the start of playback on discs with numerous tiers. For this reason we recommend creating discs with no more than 2 tiers.

It is possible to play back up to 253 folders on one disc.
