mp3/WMA/JPEG CD Information
This player can play back mp3/WMA/JPEG files
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW.
mp3 is an audio file format, which compresses
recorded music. It was developed by Fraunhofer
Gesellschaft in collaboration with Thomson Inc.
The main advantage of the mp3 format is that it
means CD-quality music tracks can be stored on
a personal computer.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is another audio file
format developed by Microsoft.
JPEG files are image files.
To create these files you need a Windows-PC with
CD-ROM drive and mp3/WMA/JPEG-encoding
software (not supplied).
The Apple-HFS-System cannot be played.
Playback Limitations
• File names on a mp3/WMA/JPEG CD must include
3-digit extension letters such as, “mp3”, “wma” or
“jpg”.
• This unit can read 999 files per disc. Keep directory
sizes to 999 files or less. Anything over that limit will
be omitted.
• This unit is able to recognize up to a maximum of 50
directories per disc.
• If a CD has both audio and graphic files on the same
CD, only the audio tracks will play.
• It may take more than one minute for mp3/WMA/
JPEG files to play depending on their structure.
• Music recorded by “Joliet Recording Specification”
can be played back.
• The unit can play back baseline and progressive
JPEG files.
• Music files recorded by “Hierarchical File System”
(HFS) cannot be played.
Notes on mp3/WMA/JPEG files
To play mp3/WMA/JPEG files in the recorded order,
1. Use mp3/WMA/JPEG software that records data
alphabetically or numerically.
2. Name each file including a two-digit or three-digit
number (e.g. “01” “02” or “001” “002”).
3. Refrain from creating too many subfolders.
Limitations on display
• File names are displayed (within 10 characters) on
the screen. File names longer than 10 letters are
condensed.
Available letters for display are the following: capital
or small letters A through Z, numbers 0 through 9,
and _ (under score).
• Letters other than those above are replaced with a
hyphen. Press ENTER. The selected file starts
playing back. Press STOP to end playback.
CAUTION:
• Some mp3/WMA/JPEG files cannot be played back
depending on the recording conditions.

WMA/JPEG files cannot be played back.
