Maximum number of nested folders: 8
Maximum number of files per disc: 999
Maximum number of files per media device: 2000
Maximum number of folders per disc: 255
MP3/WMA written in the formats other than the above may not be successfully played and their

MP3/WMA Encoder and CD Writer Settings
Use the following settings when compressing audio data in MP3 data with the MP3 encoder.
Transfer bit rate : 32- 320 kbps
Sampling frequency : 32,44.1,48 kHz(WMA) 16,22.05,24,32,44.1, 48kHz (MP3)
When using a CD writer to record MP3/WMA up to the maximum disc capacity, disable
additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, check
disc at once.
Entering ID3 Tag
This unit supports ID3 tag versions 1.0 and 1.1.
The unit also supports CD-TEXT encoded discs for Album, Track and Artist Title information.
Entering File and Folder Names
Names using the code list characters are the only file names and folder names that can be
entered and displayed. Using any other character will cause the file and folder names to be
displayed incorrectly. The unit recognizes and plays only files with the MP3/WMA extension.
A file name entered with characters not on the code list may not play correctly.

Writing Files into a Media
When a media containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks all data. If the media
contains many folders or non-MP3/WMA files, MP3/WMA play will be delayed, it may take time
for the unit to move to the next file, and searches may not be performed smoothly. Loading
such a media may produce loud noise and cause damage to the speakers. Do not attempt to
play a media containing a non-MP3/WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension or a media
containing non MP3/WMA files.
Bit Rates
The unit supports bit rates from 32 - 320 kbps.
