When creating MP3 files to play on this unit
This unit can play MP3, a method of compressing audio without overtly hurting audio quality.

Limitations on MP3

This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this. This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write. If the disc includes both MP3 and normal audio data (CD-DA), the unit plays the type recorded in the inner part of the disc. If the disc includes both MP3 and other types of audio data (e.g. WMA or WAV), the unit plays only the MP3. Depending on how you create MP3 files, they may not play in the order you numbered them or may not play at all. Upper case alphanumeric characters and an underbar _ can be displayed on this unit. Lower case characters are converted to upper case.

Maximum number of tracks and albums: 999 tracks and 256 albums. Compatible compression rate: Between 64 kbps and 320 kbps (stereo). 128 kbps (stereo) is recommended. Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for extended formats). It is better not to create folders (album) within folders (004album below).

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now its time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associations Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortionand, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds normal can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level: Start your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: Set the dial and leave it there. Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
