of your CD-R / CD-RW as they come
in a different capacity ranges.

O nce".
NOTES FOR SAVING FILES ON
THE MEDIA
When the disc is inserted, the player reads
all the files on that disc. If there are many
folders or non-MP3/WMA files on the disc,
it may take a long time for play to begin or
for the next MP3/WMA file to start play.
Do not save unnecessary folders or files
other than MP3 or WMA ones in the disc to
be used for MP3 listening.
DO NOT record any other files other than
MP3 or WMA files on the CD disc. If you
record non-mp3 files onto the CD disc, the
player may not operate properly. Please
record only MP3 or WMA files onto the CD
disc.
