The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root directory).
The number of characters for a folder/file name is limited.
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps), numbers
0-9, and '_' (underscore).
This device also can play back discs in Joliet, Romeo, etc., and other
standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes the file
names, folder names, etc., are not displayed correctly.
Formats supported
This device supports CD-ROW XA, Mixed Mode CD, Enhanced CD
(CD-Extra) and Multi-Session.
This device cannot correctly play back discs recorded with Track At
Once or packet writing.
Order of files
Files are played back in the order that the writing software writes them
to the disc. Therefore, the playback order may not be what is expected.
Verify the writing order in the software's documentation. The playback
order of the folders and files is as follows.
Root folder
Folder
* The folder No./ folder Name will not be displayed if no file is contained
in the folder.

Terminology

Bit rate
This is the "sound" compression rate specified for encoding. The higher
the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files.
Sampling rate
This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled
(recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so
the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher
the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the
volume of data.
Encoding
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the
specified audio compression format.
Tag
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc.,
written into MP3/WMA/AAC files.
Root folder
The root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file system.
The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created automatically
for all burned discs.

Notes
• If no operation is performed for 5 seconds, the unit automatically
returns to normal mode.
• Loudness introduces a special low- and high-frequency emphasis at low
listening levels. This compensates for the ear's decreased sensitivity to
bass and treble sound.
2
Turn the Rotary encoder until the desired sound is
obtained in each mode.
By setting DEFEAT ON, previously adjusted level settings of
BASS, MID, and TREBLE will return to the factory defaults.
