MP3 PLAYBACK
This player can play CD-R/CD-RW discs as well as discs
including MP3* files.
* “MP3” refers to music data which has been
compressed by a file format known as “MPEG-1 Audio
Layer 3.” Files with the “.mp3” or “.MP3” extension
are called MP3 files.

• The dotted line with an arrow ( ) indicates the
sequence in which the MP3 albums and tracks are
played.
• Album 01 to album 10
In the example shown, this CD-ROM has 10 albums
(folders) but albums 03 and 08 are not MP3 files and
so cannot be played.
• AAAA01.mp3 to gggg17.mp3
In the example shown, this CD-ROM has 17 tracks
starting with track "01" and ending with track "17."
• Only those files with the ".mp3" extension are played;
all other files with the .wav, .jpg, .doc and other
extensions are skipped.
• Album 01 is allocated even when there are no files in
the root.
• The sequence may differ from the one that appears
on the personal computer. It may also differ
depending on the writing software program.
recorded by any recorder that complies with the
"Orange book" of CD-R/CD-RW standards.
The player can play only those discs recorded in the
music format (CD-DA) or using MP3 files.
If there is not much recording time, it may be difficult
for the data to be read, and it may cause an error.
When the player is to play a CD-RW disc or
unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW disc, it automatically
recognizes the type of disc and changes some of its
internal settings to suit the disc concerned. For this
reason, the disc reading process will take a little
longer compared to regular music CDs or CD-R
discs.
Example play sequence as displayed in Windows Explorer:
Play up to 8 hierarchical levels possible.
The album number appears on the display. (AL xxx is
displayed at f and the track at e .
*Those items among the display information which were
not recorded are skipped. Only the recorded items are
displayed.
