Questions and Answers
An MP3 disc requires a long readout time…?
When an MP3 disc is inserted, information inside
the disc (number of folders and files, and
positions of data) is first read.
So, in the following cases, a fairly long time may
be needed before playback starts:
• If the file structure is complicated,
• If the number of files is large, or
• If the number of sessions is large (in case of
multi-session discs).
There occurs sound interruption or sound
skipping…?
Sound interruption or sound skipping may occur,
depending on recording conditions (missing data,
etc.) or media conditions (stain, scratch, warp,
etc.).
MP3 files are not played back in an intended
order…?
This player plays back MP3 files in the order they
are organized on the disc.
• The playback order may differ from your
intended order because of your writing
software.
Elapsed playing time is not displayed
correctly…?
Files recorded in VBR (variable bit rate) have a
discrepancy in elapsed time display, and do not
show the actual passage of time. Especially, after
performing the search function, this difference
becomes noticeable.
