Notes on MP3/WMA discs

When a disc is inserted, the unit reads all the files on that disc. During this time, “READING” is displayed. If there are many folders or non-MP3/WMA files on the disc, it may take a long time for play to begin or for the next MP3/WMA file to start play.

Do not save unnecessary folders or files other than MP3/WMA ones on a disc to be used for MP3/WMA listening.

A folder that does not include an MP3/WMA file is skipped.Maximum number of files: 511Maximum number of folders: 150Maximum directory steps: 8Folder names and file names can be displayed with up to 32 characters.

The characters A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9, and _ can be displayed on this unit. Other characters are displayed as “_”.

This unit conforms to Version 1.1 of the ID3 tag format. If the file has the ID3 tag information, “song title”, “artist name”, and “album name” can be displayed.

When naming, be sure to add the file extension “.mp3” or “.wma” to the file name.

If you put the extension “.mp3” or “.wma” to a file other than an MP3/WMA file, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers.

The file name does not correspond to the ID3 tag.

If an MP3/WMA disc that contains over 511 files is played, the disc may not be played as shown in the illustration.
