with this unit. The disc types supported by this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW. When
using CD-RW, use full format rather than quick format to prevent malfunction.

Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format. For a list of available
characters, see the instruction manual of the writing software and the section “Entering File and
Folder Names” below. The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:
Maximum number of nested folders: 8
Maximum number of files per disc: 999
Maximum number of files per media device: 2000
Maximum number of folders per disc: 255
MP3/WMA written in formats other than the above may not be successfully played and their file
names or folder names may not be properly displayed.

The unit also supports CD-TEXT encoded discs for Album, Track and Artist Title information.
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.
P. 18
When a disc containing MP3/WMA files is loaded, the unit checks all data. If the disc contains
many folders or non-MP3/WMA files, Play back will be delayed, it may take time for the unit to
move to the next file, and searches may not be performed smoothly. Loading such a disc may
produce loud noise and cause damage to the speakers. Do not attempt to play a disc
containing a non-MP3/WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension or a disc containing non
MP3/WMA files.
Bit Rates
The unit supports bit rates from 32 - 320 kbps.

Files Playing Order
When playing MP3/WMA files, searching for folders, files etc., the order in which they play is
determined by the order in which they were written to disc by the PC.
