DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837.
The unit only accepts 12-cm standard CDs.
The supported file formats listed are collectively referred to below as “audio
files”. A CD containing audio files of these types is referred to as an “audio
data CD”. Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage may
render a data medium unusable. Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers
may lead to problems during playback.
Observe copyright laws!
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows
Vista
® ensure that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium
due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for
recording. Information can be found on th e Internet on the best ways to create
audio files and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium
containing compressed audio files (MP3, WMA etc.) than a “normal” audio
CD. Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data
medium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in a
playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not on the data medium
at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).
