NOTES FOR SAVING FILES ON
THE MEDIA
When the disc is inserted, the player reads
all the files on that disc. If there are many
folders or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may
take a long time for play to begin or for the
next MP3 file to start play.
Do not save unnecessary folders or files
other than MP3 ones in the disc to be used
for MP3 listening.
We recommend that you do not save other
types files or unnecessary folders on a disc
that has MP3 files.
About “ID3 tag”
ID3 tag is a format for adding certain
information (song title, artist name, album
name, etc.) to MP3 files.
This player conforms to Version 1.1 of the
ID3 tag format. If the file has the ID3 tag
information, “song title”, “artist name” and
“album name” can be displayed.
Note
If you use a version other than 1.1, ID3 tag
information will not be displayed correctly.
About “MP3”
What is the MP3?
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard
technology and format for compressing a
sound sequence. The file is compressed to
about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds
outside the range of human hearing are
compressed while the sounds we can hear
are not compressed.

Notes
• When naming, be sure to add the file extension
“mp3” to the file name.

the file properly and will generate random noise
that could damage your speakers.
