Notes on MP3 discs
• When the disc is inserted, the player reads all the files on that disc.
During this time, "READING" is displayed. If there are many
folders or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may take a long time for play
to begin or for the next MP3 file to start play.
We recommend that you do not save unnecessary folders or files
other than MP3 ones in the disc to be used for MP3 listening.
• A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
• Maximum number of files: 255
Maximum number of folders: 150 (including the root folder)
Maximum number of folders and files in total: 256
Maximum directory levels: 8
• Folder names and file names can be displayed with up to 30
characters including quotation marks.
• The characters A - Z, 0 - 9, and _ can be displayed on this player.
Other characters are displayed as "_".
• This player conforms to Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 of the
ID3 tag format. When the file has the ID3 tag information, "song
title", "artist name" and "album name" can be displayed and
"ID3" appears in the display. If the file does not have the ID3 tag
information, file name appears instead of song title, folder name
appears instead of album name and "no artist" appears instead of
artist name. The ID3 tag information can be displayed with up to 15
characters.
• When naming, be sure to add the file extension "mp3" to the file
name.
• If you put the extension "mp3" to a file other than an MP3 file, the
player cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random
noise that could damage your speakers.
• The file name does not correspond to the ID3 tag.
