4 – CD/SD/USB playback

Playback area

The range of tracks that can be selected for playback on the 
Home Screen is called the “playback area”.
When using audio CDs and CD-R/CD-RW discs (CD DA only) with 
MP3 and WMA files, the entire disc is always set as the play area.
When using SD cards and USB flash drives, you can set folders as 
the play area.
Limiting the play area makes selection of playback tracks easier 
when you have numerous recorded files on an SD card or USB 
flash drive.
