Symptom Remedy/Cause
Disc cannot be played back. • Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in a format
compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2, Romeo, or Joliet.
• Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to the file names.
Noise is generated. Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not add
the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non-MP3 or WMA tracks.)
A longer readout time is required (“READING” keeps flashing on the display).
Tracks do not play back in the order you have intended them to play.
For KD-R412/KD-R411/KD-R35:
MP3/WMA playback
“NO FILE” appears on the display.
“NOT SUPPORT” appears on the display and track skips.
The elapsed playing time is not correct.
The correct characters are not displayed (e.g. album name).
Do not use too many hierarchical levels and folders.
The playback order is determined when the files are recorded.
Selected folder is an empty folder *. Select another folder that contains MP3/WMA tracks.
* Folder that is physically empty or folder that contains
data but does not contain valid MP3/WMA track.
Skip to the next track encoded in an appropriate format or to the next non-copy-protected WMA track.
This sometimes occurs during playback. This is caused by how the tracks are recorded on the disc.
This unit can only display letters (upper case), numbers, and a limited number of symbols.
