How to operate the MP3 player
Media capable of playing MP3 includes CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs.
Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-R discs
are fragile in high temperature/high humidity environments and one section
of the CD-R may become incapable of playback. Fingerprints or scratches
on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during playback.
Sections of a CD-R may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of
time. It is also recommended that CD-R discs be kept in a light-blocking
case because the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.
The format of discs to be used must be ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2.
Control items for this standard are as follows:
• Maximum directory layers: 8 layers
• Maximum characters for folder names/file names: 40 (including "." and 3
letter file extension)
• Allowable characters for folder names/file names:
A~Z, 0~9, _ (underscore)
• Number of files/folders possible on a single disc: 512
• Total number of folders possible on a single disc: 255
• Maximum folders this deck can recognize: 255*
*: A root directory is counted as one folder.
