Points to remember when making MP3 files  
¡ High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recom-  
mended for high quality sounds.  
¡ Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended  
because playing time is not displayed properly and sound  
may be skipped.  
¡ The playback sound quality differs depending on the  
encoding circumstances. For details, refer to the user  
manual of your own encoding software and writing soft-  
ware.  
¡ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or  
more” and “fixed”.

¡ Maximum number of files: 999  
¡ Maximum number of files in one folder: 255  
¡ Maximum depth of trees: 8  
¡ Maximum number of folders: 255 (Root folder is includ-  
ed.)  
Caution  
Never assign the “.mp3”, file name extension to  
a file that is not in the MP3 format. This may  
not only produce noise from the speaker dam-  
age, but also damage your hearing.  
Notes:  
¡ This unit counts the number of folders irrespective of the  
presence or absence of an MP3 file.  
¡ If the selected folder does not contain any MP3 files, the  
nearest MP3 files in the order of playback will be played.
