For MP3 CDs
The CD-01U/ CD-01U Pro can playback the types of
discs listed below.
≠ Ordinary audio CDs available commercially (recorded
in CD-DA format).
≠ CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in CD-DA format,
and properly finalized.
≠ MP3 files recorded in ISO9660 format on CD-R and
CD-RW discs, and properly finalized.
≠ CD-R/RW discs that have not been finalized cannot
be played back. Make sure the disc has been prop-
erly finalized before loading into the player.
About finalization
Even if audio data is recorded onto a CD-R/RW disc, if
the TOC (table of contents corresponding to the record-
ed data) is not written on the disc after recording, the
disc cannot be played back on conventional CD play-
ers. Finalization is the process of writing the TOC on the
disc.
A number of record companies have released titles on
copy control CD discs as a means of protecting artist
copyrights. Some of these discs do not comply with
standard CD format specifications, and may not be able
to be played on this unit.
The CD-01U/CD-01U Pro can play back MP3 files
recorded in formats which conform to ISO9660 level 1,
level 2 and Joliet.
