The audio system will only play files with the extension ".mp3" with
a sampling rate of 22.05 KHz or 44.1 KHz. No other type of file
(.wma, .mp4, .m3u...) can be played.

recording, the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet file format is
recommended.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played
correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording format 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 format is
recommended.

Table). It is advisable to restrict file names to 20 characters without using
special characters (e.g. " ?

problems.
