DATA CD or DATA DVD, the playback order may
differ from the illustration above.

there are more than 200 albums and 300 files in each
album.
• The system can recognize up to 200 albums
including albums that do not contain MP3 audio
tracks and JPEG image files. The system will not
play back any albums beyond the 200th album.
• The maximum number of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG
image files on an album which this system can
recognize is:
– 600 when "MODE (MP3, JPEG)" is set to
"AUDIO (MP3)" or "IMAGE (JPEG)".

"AUTO".
• The system may take a longer time to start playback,

been played back.
• An album that does not contain an MP3 audio track
or JPEG image file is skipped.
• The system will play back any data with the
extension ".MP3", ".JPG" or ".JPEG" even if they

may generate a loud noise which could damage your
speaker system.

interruptions and noise.

playback:
– a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.
