About the file names
Only a file with the “.mp3”or “.wma” extension is recognised as an MP3 or WMA file. Always
save an MP3/WMA file with the “.mp3” or “.wma” extension.
The “.mp3” or “.wma” file extension must be single-byte lower case letters.
ATTENTION
If a non-MP3/WMA file has the “.mp3” or “.wma” file extension, it may be recognised erroneously as
an MP3 or WMA file. When such a file is played, a loud noise may be output and damage the
speakers. Do not save a non-MP3/WMA file with the “.mp3” or “.wma” extension.
■
Multi-sessions
Multi-sessions are supported and CD-R/RW with recorded MP3/WMA files can be played.
However, when writing with Track-At-Once, be sure to finalise the disc with session close or
write protect.

About MP3/WMA playback
When you load a disc containing MP3/WMA files, the system first checks all files recorded on
the disc. If the disc has many files and folders, the system may take a while to check them.
While the system is checking the disc, the music that was playing continues to play.
To allow quick checking of files, we recommend that you do not save non-MP3/WMA files or
create unnecessary folders on the disc.
Also, we recommend that you write the all data in a single session because the system takes
longer to read the CD control information of a multi-session disc.

About the MP3/WMA playing time display
It is possible that the playing time will not be correct, depending on the writing condition of the
MP3/WMA file.
* It is possible that the playing time will not be correct when VBR (Variable Bit Rate) Fast Up/Down
is operated.
