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 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 and press H (or nN on the unit), the numbered tracks (or files) are played back sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any albums or files in current 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 albums names appears (page 28), the album names are arranged in the following order:

A t B t C t D t E t F t G.

Albums that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

Notes

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

•The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than 200 albums and 300 files in each album.

•The system can recognize up to 200 albums including albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files. The system will not play back any albums beyond the 200th album.

•The maximum number of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files on an album which can be recognized by this system is

–600 when the “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set to “AUDIO (MP3)” or “IMAGE (JPEG)”.

–300 when “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set to “AUTO”.

•The system may take longer time to play back, when the track or file in another album is played back.

•An album that does not include an MP3 audio track or JPEG image file is skipped.

•The system will play back any data with the extension “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG” even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

•The system does not support MP3PRO format.

•The system can play back MP3 audio tracks in the format of MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3.

•Depending on the encoding/writing software, recording device, or the recording media used at the time an MP3 audio track is recorded, 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 system depending on the file format.
