Information and advice
The audio system will only play files with
extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a compression
rate that is constant or variable between

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

500
directories on a maximum of 8 levels.On 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.

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.

standard is always used for an individual disc,
with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum)
for optimum sound quality.

Joliet standard is recommended.
