Audio and Media Mode
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duc ed b
y
different manufacturers can lead to
problems during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
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. 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
