MPT200



PLAYING MP3 FILES:

The CD player automatically detects if a CD contains MP3 files. The MPT200 is able to read several
different MP3 formats but due to display limitations it can’t show the ID3-tags (song title/performer/…). The
CD may contain up to 999 MP3- files, spread over maximum 255 folders.
The MP3-files may have the following file extensions: .mp3 ~ .MP3 ~ .mP3 ~ .Mp3
Check the technical specifications to see which MP3-files are allowed.



FOLDER / TRACK SELECTORS:

To keep things manageable you can sort your MP3 files in different subfolders (directories). These folders
can be named after the names of the performers, after the music genres (techno, slows, salsa …), the
BPM count (100BPM, 110BPM, 120BPM …) or any other idea you have to sort your music…

Some examples:

Sorted by GENRE

Sorted by BPM

Sorted by ALPHABETICAL order

With the FOLDER / TRACK selectors you can easily browse through the different folders and tracks. Press
the FOLDER/TRACK button (11) to toggle between FOLDER mode and TRACK mode:



FOLDER MODE:

use the FOLDER SEARCH buttons (12) to select the desired folder. With the

TRACK selectors (10) you can select the desired MP3 track in this folder. Note that you can only select
tracks inside the selected folder. To go to another folder just use the FOLDER SEARCH buttons.



TRACK MODE:

you will be able to browse all the tracks on your CD/CDROM as if no subfolders were

present.



PLAYING/RECORDING CD-R and CD-RW:

Apart from normal audio CD’s the MPT200 can play both CD-R (CD recordable) and CD-RW (CD
rewriteable). Please note that you should always use the “disc at once” and “track at once” disc writing
options! Although the MPT200 is capable of reading CD-R and CD-RW recorded at higher speeds, we
suggest not using recording speeds more than x12 to increase readability. Always buy good quality brands
for CD-R and CD-RW! If the disc is multi session, it will only play the first session:



if the first session is CD-DA you can only play CD-DA tracks.



if the first session is MP3 you can only play MP3 files.



CREATE A LOOP:

While a track is playing, press the LOOP IN button to program the starting point of the loop. Now press the
OUT button to program the endpoint of the loop. The seamless loop starts playing at once. (With some
practice you will be able to create perfect loops!) While the loop is playing, you can press the OUT button
again to exit the loop and continue the rest of the track.
It is possible to program a new loop, even when the current loop is still playing. While the loop is playing,
simply press the LOOP IN button to set the starting point of the new loop. Now enter the endpoint by
pressing the OUT button. Your new loop is programmed and playing.



RESTART A LOOP:

This can be done in 3 ways:



When a loop is programmed and you left it by pressing the OUT button, just press RELOOP to restart
the loop.



When a loop is programmed and you left it by pressing the OUT button, just press OUT again to restart
the loop. The point where you pressed OUT is now programmed as the new endpoint of the loop.



When the loop is still playing, press the RELOOP button to restart the loop immediately. You can
repeat this several times to create a

“Stutter”

effect.
