Folders and music  les

With this system, the music recorded in the CD-ROM, SD card, USB device or digital audio player is referred to as
"audio  le(s)" or " le(s)".

When an SD card or USB card is recorded using this system:

The  les recorded into an SD card or USB device using this system are grouped in folders, and management numbers
are automatically given to the created folders and  les.

Management number given automatically to a folder: A_A001…A_A999…A_Z999

•

Management number given automatically to a  le: T001.WMA, T002.WMA……

•

•

When a folder is recorded after the title information has been acquired from the AMG database, the album name is attached automatically
after the management number of the  le, and the  lename is attached automatically after the management number of each  le.

This system uses the WMA and WAV formats for recording audio into the SD card and USB device.

When a CD is recorded:

Inside of the SD card or USB device

AL_A001 folder is automatically
created.

When an SD card or USB device is

recorded for the  rst time using this
