Information and adviceOn   a   single   disc,   the   CD   player   can   read   up   to   255   MP3   files   spread  
over

  8   directory   levels.   However,   it   is   recommended   that   this   be   kept  
to

  2   levels   so   as   to   limit   the   time   taken   to   access   and   play   the   CD.
During
  play,   the   folder   structure   is   not   observed.
In
  order   to   be   able   to   play   a   recorded   CDR   or   CDRW,   when   recording  
it

  is   preferable   to   select   standards   ISO   9660   level   1.2   or   Joliet.
If
  the   disc   is   recorded   in   another   format,   it   may   not   be   played   correctly.
It
  is   recommended   that   the   same   recording   standard   is   always   used  
for

  an   individual   disc,   with   as   low   a   speed   as   possible   (4x   maximum)  
for

  optimum   sound   quality.
In
  the   particular   case   of   a   multi-session   CD,   the   Joliet   standard   is  
recommended.
Do

  not   connect   a   hard   disk   or   USB   device   other   than   audio   players   to  
the

  USB   port.  
This
  may   cause   damage   to   your   installation.
The
  audio   system   will   only   play   files   with   extension   ".mp3"   or   ".wma"  
and

  a   compression   rate   that   is   constant   or   variable   between   32   Kbps  
and

  320   Kbps.
It
  is   advisable   to   restrict   file   names   to   20   characters   without   using  
special

  characters   (e.g.   "   ? ;   ù)   to   avoid   any   playing   or   displaying  
problems.
The

  playlists   accepted   are   types   .m3u   and   .pls.
The
  number   of   files   is   limited   to   5   000   in   500   directories   on   a  
maximum

  of   8   levels.
