CD-R and CD-RW that have been finalized (a process that enables
CD-R/CD-RW players to play audio CD-R and CD-RW) upon
completion of recording.

Disc selection

This unit can play MP3 files recorded on CD-R/RW with a computer.

When making MP3 files to play on this unit

Disc format

Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended
formats).

File format

MP3 files must have the extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”.

To play in a certain order

Prefix the folder and file names with 3-digit
numbers in the order you want to play them.
Files may not be recorded in numbered order if
the prefixes have different numbers of digits. For
example: 1track.mp3, 2track.mp3, 10track.mp3.
However, some writing software may also
cause recording to occur in a different order.

MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology

Limitations on MP3 play

This unit is not compatible with packet-write format.

When both MP3 and CD-DA data is recorded on the disc over a
number of sessions:

If the first session contains MP3 recordings, the unit will play from
the MP3 made in that session till the session before the first CD-DA
recordings.

If the first session contains CD-DA recordings, the unit will play
only the recordings made in that session. The subsequent sessions
will be ignored.

Some MP3 may not be played due to the condition of the disc or
recording.

Recordings will not necessarily be played in the order you recorded
them.

Lower case letters will be displayed as upper case.
