Entering ID3 Tag
This unit supports ID3 tag versions 1.0 and 1.1.
The unit also supports CD-TEXT encoded discs for Album, Track and Artist Title information.
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.

Writing Files into a Medium
When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks all data. If the medium
contains many folders or non-MP3/WMA files, MP3/WMA play 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 medium may produce loud noise and cause damage to the speakers. Do not attempt
to play a medium containing a non-MP3/WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension or a
medium containing non MP3/WMA files.
Electronic Shock Protection

120 seconds for MP3 recorded at 44.1kHz, 128kbps
200 seconds for WMA recorded at 44.1kHz, 128kbps
Bit Rates
The unit supports bit rates from 32 - 320 kbps.
MP3 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 CD 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. You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA are to be played by writing them
onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers
such as "01" to "99". For example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to
Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select as shown below.
