Notes
• If you insert a disc and a “Memory Stick” into the drive at the same time, the contents of the disc are
played back first.
• In the case of music CDs, the disc is recognized as one folder and the tracks as files.
• Folders that do not contain music files are skipped.
• The drive can display file and folder names of up to 64 alphanumeric characters (Joliet extension).
• To be able to listen to the files in a folder in the desired order, we suggest that you perform the
following:
- There should be no more than 256 files per folder.
- Only use the alphanumeric characters (uppercase or lowercase) in folder and file names.
- Name the files so that the desired playback order is reflected by the first 8 characters (or less).
