Avoid subfolders. The system can support up
to 8 subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to
reduce the complexity and confusion in trying
to locate a particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .m3u or .wpl
extension (other le extensions may not work).
Minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist
names. Long le, folder, or playlist names, or a
combination of a large number of les and
folders, or playlists may cause the player to be
unable to play up to the maximum number of
les, folders, playlists, or sessions. If you wish
to play a large number of les, folders, playlists
or sessions, minimize the length of the le,
folder, or playlist name. Long names also take
up more space on the display, potentially
getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc may
cause the disc not to function in the player.You can change playlists by using the previous
and next folder buttons, the tuner knob, or
the seek buttons. You can also play an MP3 CD-R
that was recorded using no le folders. If a
CD-R contains more than the maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les, the player
will let you access and navigate up to the
maximum, but all items over the maximum
will not be accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has compressed audio
les, the directory will be displayed as the CD
label. All les contained directly under the
root directory will be accessed prior to any root
directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will
always be accessed before root folders or les.
If a disc contains both uncompressed CD
audio (.CDA) and MP3 les, a folder under the
root directory called CD will access all of the CD
audio tracks on the disc.
288

Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere
in the le structure that contains only
folders/subfolders and no compressed les directly
beneath them, the player will advance to the
next folder in the le structure that contains
compressed audio les and the empty folder will
not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed les,
the les will be located under the root folder.
The next and previous folder functions will not be
displayed on a CD-R that was recorded without
folders or playlists.
When the CD-R contains only playlists and
compressed audio les, but no folders, all les will
be located under the root folder. The folder
down and the folder up buttons will search playlists
(Px) rst and then go to the root folder.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R will be played in the
following order:
Play will begin from the rst track in the rst
playlist and will continue sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last
track of the last playlist has been played, play
will continue from the rst track of the rst
playlist.
Play will begin from the rst track in the rst
folder and will continue sequentially through
all tracks in each folder. When the last track of
the last folder has been played, play will
continue from the rst track of the rst folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display will not
automatically show the new folder name unless
you have chosen the folder mode as the
default display. The new track name will appear
on the display.
