Additional Information
! This unit plays back files with the filename ex-
tension (.mp3 or .wma) as an MP3 or a WMA
file. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not
use these extensions for files other than MP3
or WMA files.
MP3 additional information
! Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.
1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of
album (disc title), track (track title) and ar-
tist (track artist).
! Only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz
frequencies are played back, the emphasis
function is valid. (16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48
kHz sampling frequencies can be played
back.)
! There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
! There is no compatibility with the MP3i
(MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO format.
! The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-
comes better with increasing bit rate. This
unit can play recordings with bit rates from
8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able
to enjoy a certain sound quality, it is recom-
mended to use only discs recorded with a
bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
WMA additional information
! Only when WMA files of 32, 44.1 and 48
kHz frequencies are played back.
! The sound quality of WMA files generally
becomes better with increasing bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 48 kbps to 192 kbps, but in order to be
able to enjoy a certain sound quality, it is
recommended to use discs recorded with a
higher bit rate.

Notes
! This unit assigns folder numbers. The user
can not assign folder numbers.
! It is not possible to check folders that do not
include MP3/WMA files. (These folders will be
skipped without displaying the folder number.)
! MP3/WMA files in up to 8 tiers of folders can
be played back. However, there is a delay in
the start of playback on discs with numerous
tiers. For this reason we recommend creating
discs with no more than 2 tiers.
! It is possible to play back up to 253 items from
folder on one disc.
