Additional Information

!When playing discs with MP3/WMA/AAC/ WAV files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types can be played only by switching mode between MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV and CD-DA.

!The folder selection sequence for playback and other operations becomes the writing sequence used by the writing software. For this reason, the expected sequence at the time of playback may not coincide with the actual playback sequence. However, there also is some writing software which per- mits setting of the playback order.

!Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge into one another without a pause. When these discs are converted to MP3/WMA/ AAC/WAV files and burned to a CD-R/CD- RW/CD-ROM, the files will be played back on this player with a short pause between each one, regardless of the length of the pause between tracks on the original audio CD.

!This unit plays back files with the filename ex- tension (.mp3, .wma, m4a or .wav) as an MP3/ WMA/AAC/WAV file. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions for files other than MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV files.
