MP3 playback

The unit can play MP3 format audio that was recorded by a computer onto CD-R or CD-RW.

• If an MP3 file is of poor quality, playback may not be possible.

Disc Structure Example

MP3 discs are different than standard audio CDs.

The MP3 format is so compact and efficient that the equivalent of several albums or standard audio CDs may be stored on a single MP3 disc.

The unit creates a folder for the “Title” and a file for each “Chapter.”

Select a chapter using the numeric buttons (see “Selecting a track” on page 11), then press ENTER to play the chap- ter.

Repeat play

To repeat playback, use chapter repeat or title repeat (see page 18 for details).
