Notes

When the disc is inserted, the player reads all the files on that disc. If there are many folders or non- MP3 files on the disc, it may take a long time for play to begin or for the next MP3 file to start play.

Do not save unnecessary folders or files other than MP3 ones in the disc to be used for MP3 listening. We recommend that you do not save other types files or unnecessary folders on a disc that has MP3 files.

A folder that does not include an MP3 files is skipped.

Maximum folder number: 150 (including root folder and empty folders)

The maximum number of MP3 files and folders that can be contained on a single disc is 300.

Playback is possible up to 8 levels.

Tip

To specify a desired playback order, before the folder or file name, input the order by number (e.g., “ 01,”

02” ), then record contents onto a disc. (The order differs depending on the writing software.)
