Notes

• The playback order may differ depending on the writing software.

• The unit can play up to 1,000 tracks and 256 albums. Tracks beyond the first 1,000 and albums beyond the first 256 cannot be recognized.

Tips

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track names, the tracks in each folder will be played in numerical order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start playback, it is recommended that you create albums of no more than two tree levels.

• For details on MP3 files, see “About MP3 files” on page 41.
