Notes on playing MP3 discs
• Do not save other types of files or unnecessary folders on a disc that
has MP3 files.
• Folders that have no MP3 files are skipped.
• MP3 files are played back in the order that they are recorded onto
the disc.
• The system can only play MP3 files that have a file extension of
".MP3."
• If there are files on the disc that have the ".MP3" file extension,
but that are not MP3 files, the unit may produce noise or may
malfunction.
• The maximum number of:
− folders is 150 (including the root folder).
− MP3 files is 255.
− MP3 files and folders that can be contained on a single disc is 300.
− folder levels (the tree structure of files) is 8.
• Compatibility with all MP3 encoding/writing software, recording
device, and recording media cannot be guaranteed. Incompatible
MP3 discs may produce noise or interrupted audio or may not play
at all.
Notes on playing multisession discs
• If the disc begins with a CD-DA (or MP3) session, it is recognized
as a CD-DA (or MP3) disc, and playback continues until another
session is encountered.

disc.
