MP3 and WMA discs may contain 200 tracks or
even more. To get the best overview about all

NOTES ON MP3 AND WMA PLAYBACK
• The player is only compatible with standard
MP3- and WMA-encoded discs. Other
compressed audio formats used for Internet
audio downloads will not play.
• Due to the differences in various versions of
the MP3 and WMA formats, and the many
differences between the CD-R machines used
to record discs on a computer, it is possible
that some discs, memory cards or other blank
media may not play, even though they will
work on a computer. This is normal and does
not indicate a fault with the unit.
• If a disc containing MP3, WMA and/or JPEG
files is created in more than one session, the
player may not recognize files added during
the later sessions, especially if the disc was
finalized after the first session.
• When a disc with multiple folders is playing,
only tracks from one folder can be displayed
and played at a time. Select the desired folder
and press the Play Button
4G or
OK Button 6 to start the first track.
To see and play tracks from other folders, you
must first select the root folder using the
KL Navigation Buttons 9, and press
the OK Button 6 to open or close that fold-
er. You may then navigate an open folder and
select the desired folder. Press the OK Button
6 to open the folder, and select the desired
track. Then press the Play Button
4G.
• Only stereo audio playback is available for MP3
and WMA discs.

The player is capable of recognizing JPEG still-
image files and displaying them. When a disc or
folder containing JPEG files is loaded, the JPEG
Disc-Type Indicator will light in the Main

the same way as CD tracks, MP3 and WMA files.

when more than one image file is included in the

of transition effects to add interest to your slide
