Notes on playing MP discs
Do not save other types of files or
unnecessary folders on a disc that has MP3
files.
Folders that have no MP3 files are skipped.
MP3 files are played back in the order that
they are recorded onto the disc.
The system can only play MP3 files that have
a file extension of “.mp3”.
Even when file name has the “.mp3” file
extension, if the actual file differs, playing
this file may generate a loud noise which
could damage the speaker system and the
system may malfunction.
The maximum number of:
folders is 255 (including the root folder).
MP3 files is 512.
folder levels (the tree structure of files) is
8.
Compatibility with all MP3 encoding/writing
software, recording device, and recording
media cannot be guaranteed. Incompatible
MP3 discs may produce noise or interrupted
audio or may not play at all.
Notes on playing multisession discs
If the first session on the disc is a CD-DA
session, the other sessions on the disc cannot
be recognized regardless of the session
format; only CD-DA tracks in the first
session can be played back.
If the session format for the first session is
CD-ROM and the following sessions are
recorded in the same format, the system will
continue to play back MP3 files accordingly
in multiple sessions until the system
encounters another session recorded in a
different format.
