Make sure that the TV/DVD switch

on the
remote control is set to “DVD” when using the
 , numeric and TV/VIDEO - CANCEL
buttons for controlling the RDV-1050.
The RDV-1050 can play back MP3 files and
WMA files on a home recorded CD-R/RW disc
or commercially available CD. We refer to a
disc that contains MP3 and/or WMA files as
an “MP3/WMA disc” in this manual.
If a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and
JPEG files, you can only play back files of the
type selected by the MP3&WMA/JPEG set-
ting in the PICTURE preference display.
About MP3/WMA Discs
On an MP3/WMA disc, each song is recorded
as a file (track). Files are sometimes grouped
into folders by artists, album, etc.
•Each file is regarded as a track.
•A folder which has one or more files is re-
garded as a group.
•A folder which does not directly contain any
tracks is ignored.
•Files which do not belong to any folder are
grouped into “group 1.”
•The RDV-1050 recognizes up to 150 tracks
per group, and up to 99 groups per disc.
If there are files other than MP3/WMA files,
they also count in the 150-file total.
Notes For Making Your Own
MP3/WMA Disc Using a
CD-R/CD-RW Disc

• For MP3 files, we recommend you record
your material at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate,
using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.

right feature is set to off.
