The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The maximum number of characters used for file and folder name including the delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in parentheses.

• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters; Up to 11 characters are displayed)

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 which have the MP3 extension (.MP3).

• 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 data is loaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3. In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or a File Search or Folder Search may not be performed smoothly.

Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.

• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the MP3 extension. The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 data as long as they have the MP3 extension.

• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.

MP3 playing order

When selected for play or Skip, 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 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 CD writer.
