Restrictions and instructions
Contamination, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a
data medium unusable. Please observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers can lead to
problems during playback.
Please observe copyright laws. The unit may be unable to read individual
track
s or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Informa-
tion about the best ways to create audio files
and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag
etc.) can be found on the Internet.
The reading time may vary considerably de-
pending on the condition of the data medium
(copying and deleting actions), folder struc-
ture and file type. Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der.
There are no files stored in a playlist. The
unit will not play a playlist if the files are not
stored on the data medium at the locations
referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).
A cover can only be displayed when the name
starts with “Cover”, “Folder” or “Album”. Note
