Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files

The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD or DATA DVD is as follows:

xStructure of disc contents

Tree 1 Tree 2

Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5

ROOT

Album

 

 

 

 

 

 

MP3 audio tracks or

 

JPEG image files

 

 

 

 

When you insert a DATA CD or DATA DVD and press H (or nN on the unit), the tracks (or files) are played back sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums or sub-files in the selected album take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: Ccontains Dso 4 is played back before 5.)

When you press MENU and the list of album names appears (page 29), the album names are arranged in the following order:

A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

or JPEG image file is skipped.

 

• The system will play back any data with the

may generate a loud noise which could damage your

 

speaker system.

• The system can only play back MP3 audio tracks in

 

MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 format.

recording device, or the recording media used to

 

record an MP3 audio track, you may encounter

 

problems such as cannot play back, sound

 

interruptions and noise.

 

• The following discs take a longer time to start

 

playback:

 

– a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.

 

– a disc recorded in Multi Session.

 

– a disc to which data can be added (non finalized

 

disc).

 

• Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs/DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/

 

DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs cannot be played back on the
