formats).
File format
• MP3 files must have the extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”.
• WMA files must have the extension “.WMA” or “.wma”.
To play in a certain order
Prefix the folder and file names with 3-digits
numbers in the order you want to play them.
Files may not be recorded in numbered order if
the prefixes have different numbers of digits. For
example: 1????.mp3, 2????.mp3, 10????.mp3.
However, some writing software may also
cause recording to occur in a different order.

than that of MP3.

• When creating a WMA disc, ensure the copyright feature is off.
• Noise may occur when playing WMA files.
Limitations on MP3/WMA play
• This unit is not compatible with packet-write format.
• When both MP3/WMA and CD-DA data is recorded on the disc over
a number of sessions:
• If the first session contains MP3/WMA recordings, the unit will play
from the MP3/WMA made in that session till the session before the
first CD-DA recordings.
• If the first session contains CD-DA recordings, the unit will play only
the recordings made in that session. The subsequent sessions will
be ignored.
• You cannot use 1-Disc Random play, All-Disc Random play and
search function.
• Some MP3/WMA may not be played due to the condition of the disc
or recording.
• Recordings will not necessarily be played in the order you recorded
them.
