∫ Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R/CD-RW)
≥ Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).
≥ This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more
time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

eighth one onwards is displayed on the same vertical line in the menu screen.
≥ There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen and computer screen.
≥ This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
Naming folders and files
(Files are treated as content and folders are treated as
groups on this unit.)
At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names. This
should be with numbers that have an equal number of digits,
and should be done in the order you want to play them (this
may not work at times).
Files must have the extension:
“.WMA” or “.wma”
“.MP3” or “.mp3”
“.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”

You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.

picture rotation may not be displayed.
