or recording software (not supplied) for
details on the recording format.

To play a Multi Session CD

This player can play Multi Session CDs when
an MP3 audio track is located in the first
session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks,
recorded in the later sessions, can also be
played back.
When audio tracks and images in music CD
format or video CD format are recorded in the
first session, only the first session will be
played back.

Notes

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to data not in

MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the data
properly and will generate a loud noise which
could damage your speaker system.

• The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO

format.

The Playback order of MP3 audio tracks

The playback order of albums and tracks
recorded on a DATA CD is as follows.

◆

Structure of disc contents

When you insert a DATA CD and press

the numbered tracks are played sequentially,
from

through

. Any sub-albums/tracks

contained within a currently selected album
take priority over the next album in the same
tree. (Example:

contains

is played

before

When you press MENU and the list of MP3
albums appears (page 31), the albums are
arranged in the following order:

. Albums that do not

contain tracks (such as album

) do not

appear in the list.

Hints

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front

of the track file names, the tracks will be played in
that order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start

playback, it is recommended that you create
albums of no more than two trees.

Notes

• Depending on the software you use to create the

DATA CD, the playback order may differ from
the illustration above.

• The playback order above may not be applicable

if there are more than a total of 200 albums and
tracks in the DATA CD.

• The player can recognize up to 100 albums (the

player will count just albums, including albums
that do not contain MP3 audio tracks). The player
will not play any albums beyond the first 100
albums. Of the first 100 albums, the player will
play no more than a combined total of 200 albums
and tracks.
