Requirements regarding MP3 discs
There are many different MP3 formats. When
creating an MP3 disc please keep to the format
information stated below. If you decide to use a
different format, you may find that the disc does
not play, or the sound is distorted and
interrupted during playback. A typical MP3 CD
contains a very large number of music tracks, so
it may take more than ten seconds for the disc
player to read the MP3-CD.
If you insert a multi-session disc, please note
that the player only supports the first ”session”.
The following formats are supported:
•CDs to ISO 9660 formats
•max. 30 characters
•max. file levels: 8

Compatibility with recordable media
The K1can play recordable (CD-R, DVD-R) and
rewritable (CD-RW, DVD-RW) discs (see Specification),
provided that they are in accordance with the general
standard for CD-Audio and DVD-Video discs.
There are now so many different types of blank
discs, disc recorders (burners) and burning
software that it is not possible to guarantee
general compatibility.
If you encounter a compatibility problem, we
recommend that you try using different blank
discs, a different burner or different burning
software.
