JVC XV-S200BK Instructions Manual page 37

This unit can palyback CD discs recorded by the M P3 format
(we refer to those discs as MP3 CD discs in this manual).
Operations for MP3 CD discs are similar to those for
Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and
differences.
What is MP3?
MP3 is the abbreviation of "MPEG1 Audio Layer 3".
MPEG Audio is a compression specification that
compresses the audio portion only. This image
compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc.
The audio data has been compressed into about 1/10.
About MP3 CD disc
On an MP3 CD disc, each material (song) is recorded on
each Track (file), which usually belongs to a Group
(folder).
I, o,oo01 , 11--
I T a°k' T'ac 2 l T'ac l I T a°k' T°°k2 l
This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 254
Tracks per Group, however, the number of Tracks to be
played back on a disc is limited to 1023.
If a disc includes more than 1023 Tracks, the unit stops
detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks
reaches 1023 and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The
unit also ignores any non-MP3 file in the disc.

playback of MP3 CD discs. Following functions are not

Basic operations
NOTES for making a private MP3 CD
using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:
• Select "ISO 9660" as the disc format.
• Do not select the "multi-session" recording.
• Finalizethe disc.
NOTES
• The unit does not support "packet write" discs.
• If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc
directly and do not belong to any Group (directory), the
unit recognized them as belonging to an independent
Group.
• The unit does not output a digital audio signal from
DIGITAL OUT when playing back an MP3 CD disc.
• The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 CD disc in
the alphabetical order.
For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two]
and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three]
then [two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the
same way.
Therefore, an MP3 CD disc on the market may be played
back in the different order from the order printed on its
sleeve.
