The usable number of groups and files

ATRAC CDs:

•Maximum number of groups: 255

•Maximum number of files: 999

MP3 CDs:

•Maximum number of groups: 256

•Maximum number of files: 511

(The maximum number of MP3 files and groups that can be contained on a single disc is 512.)

Notes

•The system may be unable to play MP3 files that do not have the “.MP3” extension.

•Attempting to play non-MP3 files that have the “.MP3” extension may result in noise or malfunction.

•If ATRAC3plus files and MP3 files are recorded on the same disc, this system plays the ATRAC3plus files first.

•On a disc that has ATRAC3plus and MP3 files, do not save files in other formats and do not make unnecessary folders.

•To compress a source in an MP3 file, we recommend setting the compression parameters to “44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and “Constant Bit Rate.”

•To record up to the maximum capacity, set the writing software to “halting of writing.”

•To record to the maximum capacity at one time up on media that has nothing recorded on it, set the writing software to “Disc at Once.”

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session

•If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and ATRAC3plus/MP3 sessions are not played back.

•If the disc begins with an ATRAC3plus/MP3 session, it is recognized as an ATRAC CD/ MP3 CD, and CD-DA (audio) sessions are not played back.

•The playback range of an MP3 CD is determined by the tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc.

•A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.
