Playback order of MP3 audio
tracks or JPEG image files
The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or
JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD or
DATA DVD is as follows:
x
Structure of disc contents
When you insert a DATA CD or DATA DVD
and press
H
(or
nN
on the unit), the tracks
(or files) are played back sequentially, from
1
through
7
. Any sub-albums or sub-files in the
selected album take priority over the next album
in the same tree. (Example:
C
contains
D
so
4
is played back before
5
.)
When you press MENU and the list of album
names appears (page 29), the album names are
arranged in the following order:
A
t
B
t
C
t
D
t
F
t
G
. Albums
that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as
album
E
) do not appear in the list.
Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the
DATA CD or DATA DVD, the playback order may
differ from the illustration above.
• The playback order above may not be applicable if
there are more than 200 albums and 300 files in each
album.
• The system can recognize up to 200 albums
including albums that do not contain MP3 audio
tracks and JPEG image files. The system will not
play back any albums beyond the 200th album.
• The maximum number of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG
image files on an album which this system can
recognize is:
– 600 when “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set to
“AUDIO (MP3)” or “IMAGE (JPEG)”.
– 300 when “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set to
“AUTO”.
• The system may take a longer time to start playback,
when the tracks or files in another album has just
been played back.
• An album that does not contain an MP3 audio track
or JPEG image file is skipped.
• The system will play back any data with the
extension “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG” even if they
are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing this data
may generate a loud noise which could damage your
speaker system.
• The system does not support MP3PRO format.
• The system can only play back MP3 audio tracks in
MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 format.
• Depending on the encoding/writing software,
recording device, or the recording media used to
record an MP3 audio track, you may encounter
problems such as cannot play back, sound
interruptions and noise.
• The following discs take a longer time to start
playback:
– a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.
– a disc to which data can be added (non finalized
disc).
• Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs/DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/
DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs cannot be played back on the
system depending on the file format.
