nized by the system.

ers with up to 50,000 files.
In the case of a data carrier with more than
64 GB of stored data, only files in folders with
the following names are supported: Music,
Pictures, Video.
Track and file names

files, you can assign names to the tracks and

as a folder.

ing track names:
Rtrack names must have at least one character
Rtrack names must have an extension of a sup-
ported audio or video format, e.g. mp3, aac orm4v
