file recording media and formats are limited. When
writing MP3 files, pay attention to the following restric-
tions.

CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW.
Supported Medium Formats (File Systems)
The medium formats supported by the radio are ISO 9660
Level 1 and Level 2 and includes the Joliet extension.
When reading discs recorded using formats other than
ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2, the radio may fail to read

mally. UDF and Apple HFS formats are not supported. The radio uses the following limits for file systems:
•Maximum number of directory levels: 15
•Maximum number of files: 255

CD audio tracks and computer files (including MP3 files).
Discs created with an option such as keep disc open after
writing  are most likely multisession discs. The use of
multisession for CD audio or MP3 playback may result in
longer disc loading times.
