The MP3 player is compatible with VBR
(Variable Bit Rate).
When playing back files recorded as VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if fast−forward
or reverse operations are used.
It is not possible to check folders that do
not include MP3/WMA files.
MP3/WMA files in folders up to 8 levels
deep can be played. However, the start of
playback may be delayed when using
discs containing numerous levels of fol-
ders. For this reason, we recommend
creating discs with no more than two lev-
els of folders.
It is possible to play up to 192 folders or
255 files on one disc.

The play order of the compact disc with
the structure shown on the left is as fol-
lows:
CD R AND CD RW DISCS
CD−R/CD−RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a pro-
cess that allows discs to be played on a
conventional CD player) cannot be
played.
It may not be possible to play CD−R/CD−
RW discs recorded on a music CD record-
er or a personal computer because of disc
characteristics, scratches or dirt on the
disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the
lens of the unit.
It may not be possible to play discs re-
corded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the en-
vironment. Record with the correct
format. (For details, contact the appropri-
ate application manufacturers of the ap-
plications.)
CD−R/CD−RW discs may be damaged by
direct exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures or other storage conditions. The unit
may be unable to play some damaged
discs.
If you insert a CD−RW disc into the
MP3/WMA player, playback will begin
more slowly than with a conventional CD
or CD−R disc.
Recordings on CD−R/CD−RW cannot be
played using the DDCD (Double Density
CD) system.

Labeled discs
NOTICE
Do not use special shaped, transpar-
ent/translucent, low quality or labeled
discs such as those shown in the il-
lustrations. The use of such discs
may damage the player or changer, or
it may be impossible to eject the disc.
This system is not designed for use of
dual discs. Do not use dual discs be-
cause it may cause damage to the
player.
CorrectWrong
Handle discs carefully, especially when
you are inserting them. Hold them on the
edge and do not bend them. Avoid getting
fingerprints on them, particularly on the
shiny side.
Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes, or oth-
er disc damage could cause the player to
skip or to repeat a section of a track. (To
see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the
light.)
Remove discs from the players when you
are not using them. Store them in their
plastic cases away from moisture, heat,
and direct sunlight.
