About MP3 audio tracks

You can play MP3 audio tracks on CD- ROMs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, or Joliet format for the player to recognize the tracks.

You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session.

See the instructions of the CD-R/RW device or recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

To play a Multi Session CD

This player can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is located in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks, recorded in the later sessions, can also be played back.

When audio tracks and images in music CD format or Video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

The playback order of MP3 audio tracks

The playback order of albums and tracks recorded on a DATA CD is as follows.

◆Structure of disc contents

Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5

ROOT

album

track

When you play a DATA CD from its beginning (page 33), the numbered tracks are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks contained within a currently selected album take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: C contains D so 4 is played before 5.) When you press MENU and the list of MP3 albums appears (page 43), the albums are arranged in the following order: At Bt C t D t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

zHints

•If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track names, the tracks will be played in that order.

•Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start playback, it is recommended that you create the albums no more than two trees.
