Level 2, Joliet in expansion format.
•CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than those recorded in the following formats:
–audio CD format

•A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g., card, heart).
•A disc with paper or stickers on it.
•A disc that has the adhesive, cellophane tape, or a sticker still left on it.
•Audio side of a DualDisc.
a)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 eight characters in the name, no more than three characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight characters. There can be no more than eight nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names and folder names up to 31 characters long. Each folder can have up to 8 trees.
b)Multi Session
This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional discs begin at a disc control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session disc is a disc having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session.
c)CD-Extra
This format records audio (audio CD data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks in session 2.
d)Mixed CD
This format records data on the first track and audio (audio CD data) on the second and subsequent tracks of a session.

Notes on discs
•This system can play back CD-R/CD-RW discs edited by the user. However, note that playback of some discs may not be possible depending on the recording device used for recording or the disc condition.
•Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be played back because of scratches, dirt, recording condition or the driver’s characteristics.
•CD-R and CD-RW discs that have not been correctly finalized (processing to allow play back by a normal CD player) cannot be played back.
•CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multisession that have not ended by “closing the session” are not supported.
•The system may be unable to play back MP3 format files that do not have the extension “.MP3”.
•Attempting to play back non-MP3 format files that have the extension “.MP3” may result in noise or malfunction.
•The system can play back to a depth of 8 folders only.
•With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1, level 2 or Joliet in expansion format, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.
•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 (nonfinalized disc).
•A disc recorded in packet write format cannot be played back.
Note on DualDiscs
This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. Please be aware that the audio side of a DualDisc may not be played back on this product because these discs do not conform to the CD standard. “DualDisc” is a trademark of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.
Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session
•This system can play back Multi Session discs when an MP3 audio track is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks recorded in later sessions can also be played back.
•When you play back Multi Session discs with different formats for each session, the format of the first session is recognized as the disc type. Tracks in the second and subsequent sessions are played back if they are the same formats as the first session.

Notes
•You cannot change the play mode during playback.
•Some time may be needed to start playback of discs recorded in complex configurations such as many layers.
•When the disc is loaded, the system reads all the tracks on that disc. If there are many albums or nonMP3 audio tracks on the disc, it may take a longer time for playback to begin or for the next MP3 audio tracks to start playback.
•You are recommended not to save other types of tracks or unnecessary albums on a disc that has MP3 audio tracks.
•When naming the MP3 audio tracks, be sure to add the file extension “.MP3” to the file name.
•An album that does not include an MP3 audio track is skipped.
•If you save up the extension “.MP3” to a track other than MP3 audio tracks, the system cannot recognize the track properly and will generate a random noise which could damage your speaker.
•This system can play back MP3 audio tracks in the format of MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3, MPEG 2 Audio Layer 3 and MPEG 2.5 Audio Layer 3.
•The maximum number of albums on a disc which can be recognize by this system is 150 (including root album).
•The maximum number of MP3 audio tracks and albums on a disc which can be recognize by this system is 300.
•Depending on the encoding/writing software, recording device, or the recording media used at the time an MP3 audio track is recorded, you may encounter problems such as cannot play back, sound interruptions and noise.
Tips
•When you press CD or one of the DISC 1 ~ 3 buttons to switch to “CD” function from “TUNER” function, you may require a longer time to access the disc. In the case, set the CD power manage function to “CD POWER ON” (page 20).
•If you press CD while the system is turned off, the system turns on automatically and “CD” is selected as the function.
•You can also press FUNCTION on the remote repeatedly to select “CD”.
•(MHC-GNX88/GNX77/GNX66 only)
When you play back a CDG, some operation may cause image distortion on the video output.
