Sony RCD-W100 Operating Instructions Manual page 10

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 MP3 files
The playback order of the folders and files is as
follows:
1
1
2
6
Tree1 Tree2 Tree3
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.
