Notes

You cannot change the play mode during playback.

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).

When the disc is loaded, the system reads all the tracks on that disc. If there are many albums or non- MP3 audio tracks on the disc, it may take a longer time for playback to begin or for the next MP3 audio tracks to start playback.

You are recommended not to save other types of tracks or unnecessary albums on a disc that has MP3 audio tracks.

Attempting to play back non-MP3 format files that have the extension “.MP3” may result in noise or malfunction.

The system can play back to a depth of 8 folders only.

When naming the MP3 audio tracks, be sure to add the file extension “.MP3” to the file name.

An album that does not include an MP3 audio track is skipped.

If you save up the extension “.MP3” to a track other than MP3 audio tracks, the system cannot recognize the track properly and will generate a random noise which could damage your speaker.

The maximum number of albums on a disc which can be recognize by this system is 150 (including root album).

The maximum number of MP3 audio tracks and albums on a disc which can be recognize by this system is 300.

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.
