Notes
• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2,
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 put 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 complicated tree structure.
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.
– a disc to which data can be added.
Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in
Multi Session
• When the first track of the first session is audio CD
data:
Only audio CD data is played back.
Non-audio CD data/MP3 file information (track
number, time, etc.) is displayed with no sound.
• When the first track of the first session is not audio
CD data:
– If an MP3 file is in the disc, only MP3 file(s) play
back and other data is skipped. (Audio CD data is
not recognized.)
– If no MP3 file is in the disc, "NO Music" is
displayed and nothing is played back. (Audio CD
data is not recognized.)

Notes
• A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
• Maximum folder number: 255 (including root folder
and empty folders)
• The maximum number of MP3 files and folders that
can be contained in a disc: 512
When a file/folder name contains many characters,
this number may become less than 512.
• The maximum number of trees which can be played:
8.
Tip
To specify a desired playback order, before the folder
or file name, input the order by number (e.g., "01,"
"02"), then record contents onto a disc. (The order
differs depending on the writing software.)
