File names

Only files with the MP3 file extension ".mp3" can be recognized as MP3 and played. Be sure to save MP3
files with the ".mp3" file extension. The "MP" letters of the file extension will be recognized whether
entered as uppercase letters or lowercase letters.
CAUTION
If the ".mp3" file extension is attached to a file other than an MP3 file, that file will be mistakenly
recognized by this equipment as an MP3 file and played, resulting in loud noise output that can damage
the speakers. Be sure to avoid attaching the ".mp3" file extension to files that are not MP3 files.

Multi-sessions

Multi-sessions are supported, and playing of CD-R and CD-RW discs with annotated MP3 files is
possible. However, when "Track at once" has been written, close the session or process the warning
message. Standardize the format of each session without changing the format.

Playing MP3

When a disc with recorded MP3 files is inserted, the deck first checks all the files on the disc. No sound is output
while the deck is checking the files on the disc. It is recommended that the disc be recorded without files other than
MP3 files and without unnecessary folders in order to speed up the checking of disc files by the deck.

MP3 playing time display

It is possible that playing time will not be correct, depending on the writing condition of the MP3 file.
*It is possible that playing time will not be correct when VBR Fast Up/Down is operated.

Display order of MP3 file/folder names

Names of MP3 folders and files within the same level are displayed in the following order.
1.MP3 folders displayed first, by ascending order of numbers, letters.
2.Files displayed next, by ascending order of numbers, letters.
