Notes

With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.

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

If you add the extension “.MP3” to a file other than MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers.

The following discs take a longer time to start playback.

a disc recorded with a complicated tree structure.

a disc recorded in Multi Session.

a disc to which data can be added (non-finalized disc).

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session

CD-DA (audio) data or MP3 files stored on a Multi Session CD may be subject to some restrictions on playback.

If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and playback continues until an MP3 session is encountered.

If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is recognized as an MP3 disc, and playback continues until a CD-DA (audio) session is encountered.

The playback range of an MP3 disc is determined by the tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc.

A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.

The playback order of the folders and files is as follows:

Notes

This player cannot read the MP3 files if the file name does not end with the extension “.mp3”.

Folders that do not include MP3 files are skipped.

When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a longer time to start playback. We recommend that you make only one or two trees for each disc.

Maximum total number of MP3 files and folders is 300, and maximum number of folders is 150 (including root folder and empty folders).

If the maximum number of folders or MP3 files is exceeded, the additional folders/MP3 files are not recognized. For example, if you insert the disc with 151 folders, the player reads only 150 folders.

The CD player can play MP3 files in folders nested up to 8 layers deep in the folder tree.
