Operations
The player can play back MP3 files and WMA files on a home
recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercially available CD. We refer
to a disc that contains MP3 and/or WMA files as an “MP3/WMA
disc” in this manual.
Note that if a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and JPEG
files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the
[MP3&WMA/JPEG] setting in the [PICTURE] preference display
(see page 28).
About MP3/WMA discs
On an MP3/WMA disc, each song is recorded as a file (track).
Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.
• Each file is regarded as a track.
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group
1.”
• The player recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99
groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3/WMA files,
they also count in the 150-file total.
Notes for making your own MP3/WMA disc using a
CD-R/CD-RW disc
• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.
• As for MP3 files, we recommend you to record your material at
a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.
• As for WMA files, make sure that the copyright feature is set to
off.
• As for WMA files, we recommend you to record your material at
a bit rate of 64 kbps or higher.

ENTER: Starts playback while stopped.
