Entering File and Folder Names
Names using the code list characters are the only file names and folder names that can be entered
and displayed. Using any other character will cause the file and folder names to be displayed
incorrectly. The unit recognizes and plays only files with the MP3/WMA extension.
A file name entered with characters not on the code list may not play correctly.
Files Playing Order
When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select, files and folders are accessed
in the order in which they were written by the PC writer. Because of this, the order in which they are
expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. For example, a
media with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder
Select as shown below.
