MP3/JPEG OPERATIONS
Playing an MP3 disc

recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercially available disc.
A disc that contains MP3 files is referred to as an “MP3

Notice 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” menu (see page
77).

About MP3 discs
In 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 contain any tracks directly
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 are also counted in the 150-file
total.
