THE USABLE NUMBER OF FOLDERS/  
FILES  
• Maximum number of folders: 255  
• Maximum number of files: 255  
About “MP3”  
What is the MP3?  
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard  
technology and format for compressing a  
sound sequence. The file is compressed to  
about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds  
outside the range of human hearing are  
compressed while the sounds we can hear are  
not compressed.  
SETTINGS FOR COMPRESSION  
SOFTWARE AND WRITING  
SOFTWARE  
• To compress a source for an MP3 file, we  
recommend setting the transfer bit rate of  
the compression software to “44.1 kHz”,  
“128kbps”, and “Constant Bit Rate”.  
• To record up to the maximum capacity, set  
to the “halting of writing”.  
Playable “MP3” files on this  
player  
You can only play MP3 files recorded by  
following requirements.  
• To record at one time up to the maximum  
capacity on media that has nothing  
recorded it, set to “Disc at Once”.  
NOTES FOR SAVING FILES ON THE  
MEDIA  
USABLE MEDIA  
CD-Rs and CD-RWs  
When the disc is inserted, the player reads all  
the files on that disc. If there are many  
folders or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may  
take a long time for play to begin or for the  
next MP3 file to start play.  
Do not save unnecessary folders or files other  
than MP3 ones in the disc to be used for  
MP3 listening.  
USABLE DISC FORMAT  
You can use ISO 9660 Level 1/2 and Joliet  
extension format discs. This unit can display  
only 1-byte characters. (2-byte characters  
like those of Japanese are displayed as “–.”)  
The major specification of the usable disc  
format is:  
• Maximum directory steps: 8  
• Usable characters for a file/folder name:  
A - Z, 0 - 9, _ (underscore)  
We recommend that you do not save other  
types files or unnecessary folders on a disc  
that has MP3 files.  
• Maximum number of characters for a file  
name: 64 and a 3-character extension code  
Notes  
• When naming, be sure to add the file extension  
“mp3” to the file name.  
• If you put the extension “mp3” to a file other than  
an MP3 file, the player cannot recognize the file  
properly.  
• The file name does not correspond to the ID tag.
