The media reproducible on this unit has the  
following limitations:  
Entering file and folder names  
The code list characters are the only file names and  
folder names that can be entered and displayed.  
If you use any other character for entry, the file and  
folder names are not displayed correctly. They may  
neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD  
writer used.  
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3/WMA  
which have the MP3/WMA extension (.MP3/.WMA).  
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8  
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255  
• Maximum number of folders: 100

above may not be successfully played and their file  
names or folder names are not properly displayed.  
A file with a name entered with characters not on the  
code list may not play correctly.  
Writing files into a medium  
When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is  
loaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium.  
If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3/  
WMA files, therefore, it takes a long time until the  
unit starts playing MP3/WMA.  
Settings for your MP3/WMA encoder and  
CD writer  
Do the following setting when compressing  
audio data in MP3/WMA data with the MP3/WMA  
encoder.

When you use your CD writer to record MP3/WMA  
up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional  
writing. For recording on an empty disc up to the  
maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.  
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to  
damage the speakers.

MP3/WMA playing order  
When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search,  
or for Folder Select, files and folders are accessed  
in the order in which they were written by the CD  
writer.  
Because of this, the order in which they are  
expected to be played may not match the order in  
which they are actually played. You may be able to  
set the order in which MP3/WMA are to be played  
by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R  
with their file names beginning with play sequence  
numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your

pressing the four corners of the hard rubber frame at the  
same time.  
Do not apply strong pressure to other sections than the  
corners; otherwise troubles such as the impossibility of  
opening or closing the panel may result.

to make it easier to remove discs.  
If you do not want the hollow to be visible, mount the  
rubber frame in the opposite direction (with the flat side  
at the top instead of the bottom).
