Notes on playing discs
• The following discs/situations can increase
the time it takes to start playback:
– a disc recorded with a complicated tree
structure.
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.
– a disc to which data can be added
(non-finalized disc).
– when the files in another folder have just
been played back.
• When the disc is loaded, the system reads all
the files on that disc. If there are many folders
or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may take a
longer time for playback to begin or for the
next MP3 file to start playback.
• MP3 files are played back in the order that
they are recorded onto the disc.
• You are recommended not to save other types
of files or unnecessary folders on a disc that
has MP3 files.
• The system can only play back MP3 files with
the extension “.mp3”.
• Attempting to play back non-MP3 format files
that have the extension “.mp3” may result in
noise or malfunction.
• A folder that does not include an MP3 file is
skipped.
• The system can recognize the maximum of
– 255 folders (including the root folder).
– 511 MP3 files.
– 512 MP3 files and folders on a single disc.
– 8 folder levels.
• Depending on the encoding/writing software,
recording device, or the recording media used
to record an MP3 file, you may encounter
problems such as cannot play back, sound
interruptions and noise.
