Tips

Playback starts from the track/MP3/WMA file you last stopped

playing (Resume play). During stop, the track/MP3/WMA file

number to be played is displayed.

To cancel resume play (to start play from the beginning of the first

track/MP3/WMA file), press   or open the CD compartment in

stop mode.

Note

You cannot locate a specific track/MP3/WMA file if “SHUF” or

“PGM” is lit in the display. Turn off the indication by pressing MODE

.

Example of folder structure and playing order

The playing order of folders and files is as follows:

Folder
MP3/WMA file

Notes on MP3/WMA discs

When a disc is inserted, the unit reads all the files on that disc.

During this time, “READING” is displayed. If there are many folders

or non-MP3/WMA files on the disc, it may take a long time for play

to begin or for the next MP3/WMA file to start play.

Do not save unnecessary folders or files other than MP3/WMA ones

on a disc to be used for MP3/WMA listening.

A folder that does not include an MP3/WMA file is skipped.

Maximum number of files: 511

Maximum number of folders: 150

Maximum directory steps: 8

Folder names and file names can be displayed with up to 32

characters.

The characters A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9, and _ can be displayed on this unit.

Other characters are displayed as “_”.

This unit conforms to Version 1.1 of the ID3 tag format. If the file

has the ID3 tag information, “song title”, “artist name”, and “album

name” can be displayed.

When naming, be sure to add the file extension “.mp3” or “.wma” to

the file name.

If you put the extension “.mp3” or “.wma” to a file other than an

MP3/WMA file, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and will

generate random noise that could damage your speakers.

The file name does not correspond to the ID3 tag.

If an MP3/WMA disc that contains over 511 files is played, the disc

may not be played as shown in the illustration.
