Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the
DATA CD, the playback order may differ from the
illustration above.
• The playback order above may not be applicable if
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 system may take a longer time to start playback
when the tracks or files in another album has just 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
are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing back this
data may generate a loud noise which could damage
your speaker system.
• The system does not support MP3PRO format.
• The system can only play back MP3 audio tracks in
MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 format.
• The maximum number of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG
image files in an album which this system can
recognize is:
– 600 when "MODE (MP3, JPEG)" is set to
"AUDIO (MP3)" or "IMAGE (JPEG)".
– 300 when "MODE (MP3, JPEG)" is set to
"AUTO".
• Depending on the encoding/writing software,
recording device or the recording media used to
record an MP3 audio track, you may encounter
problems such as cannot play back, sound
interruptions and noise.
• The following discs take a longer time to start
playback:
– a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.
– a disc to which data can be added (non-finalized
disc).
• Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs/DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/
DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs cannot be played back on the
system depending on the file format.
• To play back a DATA CD (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/
CD-RWs) containing both MP3 audio tracks and
JPEG image files, select "MODE (MP3, JPEG)"
from the Control Menu after the disc's TOC reading
is complete. If you want to play back
– both MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files, set
"MODE (MP3, JPEG)" to "AUTO".
– MP3 audio tracks only, set "MODE (MP3, JPEG)"
to "AUDIO (MP3)".
– JPEG image files only, set "MODE (MP3, JPEG)"
to "IMAGE (JPEG)".
• The system can play back to a depth of 8 folders only.
Tips
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the
track or file names when you store the tracks or files
in a disc, the tracks and files will be played back in
that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes a longer time to
start playback, it is recommended that you create
albums with no more than two trees.
