files. This CD player conforms to Version 1.1/2.2/2.3 of the ID3 tag format (MP3 files only).

shuffle play or PGM play.

• Before playing a file, the CD player reads all file and group (or folder) information on the CD. "READING"
is displayed. Depending on the content of the CD, it may take some time to accomplish this reading.

• If the file does not have ID3 tag information, "- - - -" appears in the display.
