•  MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are 

used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”

•  While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or 

WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

•  Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
•  This unit can play back only files of the same type 

which are first detected if a disc includes both audio 
CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

•  This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, 

unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

•  Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on 

this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for 
the following reasons:

  – Discs are dirty or scratched.
  – Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside 

the unit.

  – The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
  – CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with 

“Packet Write” method.

  – There are improper recording conditions (missing 

data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, 
warped, etc.).

•  CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the 

reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular 
CDs.

•  Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
  – Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck 

to the surface.

  – Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an 

ink jet printer.

  Using these discs under high temperatures or high 

humidities may cause malfunctions or damage to the 
unit.

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

•  This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the 

extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of 
the letter case—upper/lower).

•  This unit can show the names of albums, artists 

(performer), and Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 
2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.
