Playback order of MP3 les
• A directory that does not include an MP3 le is skipped.
• We recommend that you make no more than two levels for
each disc.
• Maximum number of folders: 256
• Maximum number of folder levels: 8
• Maximum number of characters for MP3 le name and
folder name: 32
• Sampling frequency: 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz, 48 kHz

8 characters (see Display key).

Reading les on a disc
When a disc containing MP3
data is loaded, the unit checks
all the data on the disc. If the
disc contains a lot of folders
with many levels, it takes a
longer time to start playback.
In addition, it may take time
for the unit to move to the
next MP3 le and Fast Forward
function may not be performed
smoothly.
MP3 playing order
When selected to play, les
and folders are accessed in
the order in which they were
written by the CD writer.
Therefore, the playing order
may not be the same as
the order in which they are
expected to be played.
For example, a disc with the
following folder/le hierarchy
is subject to Folder Select, File
Select and playback order as
shown on next page.
