See the instructions of the CD-R/CD-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 track, recorded in 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.

Notes

•If you put the extension “.MP3” to data not in MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the data properly and will generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

•The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO format.

The playback order of MP3 audio tracksThe 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 insert a DATA CD and press H, 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 32), the albums are arranged in the following order: A t B t 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 file 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 albums of no more than two trees.

Notes

•Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD, the playback order may differ from the illustration above.

•The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than a total of 999 albums and tracks in the DATA CD.

•The player can recognize up to 499 albums (the player will count just albums, including albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks). The player will not play any albums beyond the first 499 albums. Of the first 499 albums, the player will play no more than a combined total of 999 albums and tracks.
