*1 An ID3 tag is a format for adding certain information (track name, album name, artist name, etc.) to MP3 files. This CD player conforms to Version 1.1/2.2/2.3 of the ID3 tag format (for MP3 files only).

*2 Not displayed during Single play, Shuffle play, Bookmark track play, Auto ranking play, Auto ranking shuffle play, or PGM play.

*3 During play, “artist name” is not displayed if the disc does not have ID3 tag information. When the list of group names/file names appears in the display, “artist name” is not displayed.

*4 Bit rate and sampling frequencies. While an MP3 file made at VBR (variable bit rate) is being played, “VBR” appears on the display instead of a bit rate. In some cases, “VBR” appears halfway through playback, not from the beginning.
