and 2 000 folders (999 files per folder).
• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR
(variable bit rate).

this difference becomes noticeable after
performing the search function.

– MP3 files encoded in MP3i and MP3 PRO
format.
– MP3 files encoded in an inappropriate
format.
– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.
– WMA files encoded in lossless, professional,
and voice format.

Windows Media® Audio.
– WMA files copy-protected with DRM.
– Files which have data such as AIFF, ATRAC3,
etc.
• The search function works but search speed is
not constant.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can only play back files of the same
type as those detected first if a disc includes
both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA
files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped
while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on
this unit because of their disc characteristics,
or for the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation has occurred on the
lens inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written
using the “Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions
(stained, scratched, warped, etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than
that of regular CDs.
• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal
stuck to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed
by an ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperature
or high humidity may cause malfunctions or
damage to the unit.

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with
the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>
(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
• This unit can show the names of albums,
artists (performer), and Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1,
2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and show WMA
Tag.
