and next folder buttons, the tune knob, or the
SEEK arrows. You can also play an MP3 CD-R or
CD-RW that was recorded using no le folders.
If a CD-R or CD-RW contains more than the

the player lets you access and navigate up to
the maximum, but all items over the maximum are
not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is
treated as a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio les, the directory is displayed
as F1 ROOT. All les contained directly under
the root directory are accessed prior to any root
directory folders. However, playlists (Px) are
always accessed before root folders or les.

the le structure that contains only
folders/subfolders and no compressed les directly
beneath them, the player advances to the next
folder in the le structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder does not display.
