MP3 MODE
To guarantee optimum playing, use
top quality CDs duplicated at as low
as possible speed.
The system can recognize the type
of Compact Disc inserted.
During the reading procedure to rec-
ognize the disk the display shows
“WARNING - Reading CD. Please
wait” and then “Exploring MP3..”.
IMPORTANTNever use 8 cm au-
dio or MP3 CDs, even with the spe-
cific adapter, since this format will
damage the system.
IMPORTANTThe system builds
MP3 CD folder-organized structure of
files; folders are organized in sequence
with their own mp3 tracks (up to max.
four levels of folders/subdirectories).
Folder and file name length shall not ex-
ceed 20 characters.
Characters: blank, ‘(apostrophe), (
and )(open and closed brackets) are
not admitted in track names.When creating MP3 CD you must not
use these characters to name files oth-
erwise the system will not be able to
play it.
Since a full MP3 CD could hypotheti-
cally include thousands of MP3 files, a
999 music pieces limit is imposed by the
system. If the user inserts a MP3 CD
which has more than 999 tracks (files)
in it, then only the first 999 files will be
considered and a 7-second warning will
be displayed fig. 37 “WARNING. THE
SYSTEM WILL MANAGE ONLY THE
FIRST 999 TRACKS ON MP3 CD”.
This warning will be closed after set
time or upon pressing “ESC” 23-fig. 1.Only one Playlist for each MP3 CD
can be managed. Trying to create a
second playlist on the same CD you
will overwrite the existent one.
The system allows storing a max.
number of 10 playlists (10 different
CDs); when reaching the last one ad-
mitted (when trying to insert the 11th
MP3 CD) the oldest playlist will be
overwritten; the display will show the
following message: “10 PLAYLISTS
HAVE ALREADY BEEN STORED.
DO YOU WANT TO OVERWRITE
THE OLDEST??”.
When a MP3 CD is inserted, the sys-
tem checks the presence of a stored
playlist coupled with the CD.
If one of the 10 “known” CDs is de-
tected, playing starts automatically ac-
cording to the preset sequence. If no
playlist coupled to the inserted MP3
CD is found, then playing starts from
the first file on the CD.
