tem will process the CD. The multimedia system
only plays back one CD session and gives prior-
ity to the first session on the CD.

When you create a disc with compressed music
files, the tracks can be organized in folders. A
folder may also contain subfolders. The disc
may contain no more than eight directory levels
(a root and seven sub-levels). Files beyond the
eighth level will not be recognized by the sys-
tem.
iThe multimedia system supports up to
25,000 files for all of the connected sources.
Track and file names
When you create a disc with compressed music
files, you can assign names to the tracks and
folders.
You should observe the following when assign-
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 or m4v
Rthere must be a dot between the track name
and the extension
Example of a correct track name:
"Track1.mp3".
Permissible formats
The multimedia system supports the following
audio and video formats:
Audio for-
matsMP3, WMA, CDA, AAC for-
mats (.aac, .mp4, .m4a
and .m4b)
Video for-
matsDVD-V, MPEG, WMV, M4V,

files
RWMA Pro
R5.1 surround sound
iOnly use tracks with a data rate of at least
128 kbit/s and a sampling rate of at least

Notes on copyright
Audio or video files that you create or reproduce
yourself for playback are generally subject to
copyright protection.
In many countries, reproductions, even for pri-
vate use, are not permitted without the prior
consent of the copyright holder.
Make sure that you know about the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply with
these.
Notes on CDs/DVDs
!Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908 standard discs. Therefore, you can
only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con-
tain data on both sides (DVD on one side and
audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even
when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
Discs with copy protection are not compatible
with the audio CD standard and therefore may
not be able to be played.
Playback problems may occur when playing
copied discs.
There may be playback problems if you play CDs
that you have copied yourself with a storage
capacity of more than 700 MB.
