When recording from a CD, the tracks are recorded as 128 kbps MP3 files. When recording from an MP3 disc, MP3 files are recorded with the same bit rate as the original MP3 files.

While recording from an MP3 disc, no sound is output and “High Speed” appears.

CD text information is not recorded in the created MP3 files.

If you cancel the recording partway, an MP3 file is created up to the point when the recording was stopped.

Recording stops automatically if:

the number of audio files on the USB device reaches the limit for the number that the system can recognize.

The maximum number of audio files and folders that can be contained on a single USB device is 999 (including the “ROOT” and “MUSIC” folders).

The maximum number of audio files and folders may vary depending on the audio file and folder structure.

You cannot erase audio files and folders in shuffle play mode or program play mode.

If the folder to be erased contains non-MP3/ WMA/AAC format files or sub folders, these are not erased.

If a folder or file that you are trying to record already exists on the USB device with the same name, a sequential number is added after the name without overwriting the original folder or file.
