Operations
The unit can play back MP3 files on a personally
recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercially available CD.
We refer to a disc that contains MP3 files as an “MP3
disc” in this manual.
Note that if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files,
you can only play back files of the type selected by the
MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display
(see page 34).
About MP3 discs
On an MP3 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 unit recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up
to 99 groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3
files, they also count in the 150-file total.
Notes for making your own MP3 disc using a
CD-R/CD-RW disc
• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.
• We recommend you to record your material at a 44.1
kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer
rate.
