Notes on LCD display
• Do not push the LCD display strongly. It may cause injury or damage the display.
• Bright points of light (red, blue, or green) or black dots may appea r on th e LCD di splay. This is not a malfunction. The LCD is made with high-precision technology and more than

About MP3 files
MP3 (MPEG 1 A udio Layer-3) is a standard technology and format for compressing a soun d sequence. Th e fi le i s comp ressed to a bout 1/ 10 of its original size. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed.
Notes on discs
You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and C D -RWs. The disc must be in the ISO 9660* level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format. You can use a disc recorded in Mult i Session*
1
ISO 9660 Format
*
The most common international standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM. There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than 8 characters in the name, no more than 3 characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital letters. Fold er names can be no longer than 8 char act ers. There can be no more than 8 nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names up to 31 characters long. Each folder can have up to 8 tree s. For Joliet or Romeo in t he expansion format, make sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.
2
*
Multi Session
This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and en d at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead -i n t o Lead-out regarded as a single session. CD-Extra: The format which records audio (audio CD data) as tracks on session 1, and records data as tr acks on session 2. Mixed CD: In this format , da ta is recorded as track 1, and audio (audio CD data) is recorded as track 2.

Notes
With formats other than ISO 9660 le v el 1 an d lev el 2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.
When naming, be sure to add the file extension “.MP3” to the file name.
If you put the extension “.MP3” to a file other than MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers.
The following discs take a longer time to start playback. – a disc recorded with complicated tree structure. – a disc recorded in Multi Session. – a disc to which data can be added.
Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session
When the first track of the first session is audio CD data: Only audio CD data is played back. Non-audio CD data/MP3 file information (track number, time, etc.) is displayed with no sound.
When the first track of the first session is not audio CD data: – If an MP3 file is in the disc, only MP3 file(s) play
back and other data is skipped (Audio CD data is not recognized).
– If no MP3 file is in the disc, “NO Music” is
displayed and nothing is played back (Audio CD data is not recognized).
The playback order of the MP3 files
The playback order of the folders and files is a s follows:
Folder (album)
1
1
MP3 file (track)
2
2
3

Tree 1 (root)
Notes
A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
Maximum folder number: 150 (including root folder
and empty folders).
The maximum number of MP3 files and folders that can be contained in a disc: 300. When a file/folder name contains many characters, this number may become less than 300.
The maximum number of trees which can be played:
8.
Tip
To specify a desired playback order, before the folder or file name, input the order by number (e.g., “01,” “02”), then record contents onto a disc (The order differs depending on the writing software).
