NOTE
While listening to a disc on which CD-DA (CD-Digital
Audio) and MP3 files have both been recorded, you can
switch between reading of the CD-DA and reading of the
MP3 files, and the external audio input mode by pressing
the CD button for 2 seconds or longer (until you hear a
beep).

With a disc that contains both CD-DA and MP3 files, the
CD-DA files are automatically played first.

The playback sound quality differs depending on the
encoding software and the bit rate. For details, refer to the
user manual of your encoding software.

Depending on file/folder configurations on a disc, it may
take some time before playback starts.

MP3 encode software and writing software are not sup-
plied to this unit.

You may encounter trouble in playing an MP3 recorded
with certain writing software or CD recorders (CD-R/RW
drivers).

If you record too many folders or files other than MP3
onto a disc, it may take some time before playback starts.

This unit does not record MP3 files.

For information concerning CD-Rs/RWs, refer to “Notes
on CD-Rs/RWs” on page 5-73.Folder selection order/MP3 file playback order (Example)

CAUTION
!
Attempting to play a file not in the MP3 format
which has the “.mp3” file name may produce noise
from the speakers and speaker damage, and can
damage your hearing.
