Notes on playing MP3
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). Note, however, that the MP3 recording
media and formats acceptable are limited. When writing MP3, pay attention to the following
restrictions.
Acceptable media
The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW.
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent malfunction.
Acceptable medium formats
The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The maximum number of
characters used for file name including the delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in
parentheses.
• ISO 9660 Level 1
• ISO 9660 Level 2
• Joliet
• Romeo
The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255
• Maximum number of folders: 50
MP3 written in the formats other than the above may not be successfully played and their file names
or folder names are not properly displayed.
Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer
When you use your CD writer to record MP3 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 file and folder names
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 which have the MP3 extension (.MP3).
Writing files into a medium
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium. If the
medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts
playing MP3.
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or a Track Search or Album
Search may not be performed smoothly.
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3
file with the MP3 extension.
The unit mistakes non-MP3 file s for MP3 data as long as they have the MP3 extension.
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.
