Notes on playing discs

The following discs/situations can increase the time it takes to start playback: a disc recorded with a complicated tree structure. a disc recorded in Multi Session. a disc to which data can be added (non-finalized disc). when the files in another folder have just been played back. When the disc is loaded, the system reads all the files on that disc. If there are many folders or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may take a longer time for playback to begin or for the next MP3 file to start playback. MP3 files are played back in the order that they are recorded onto the disc. You are recommended not to save other types of files or unnecessary folders on a disc that has MP3 files. The system can only play back MP3 files with the extension.mp3. Attempting to play back non-MP3 format files that have the extension.mp3 may result in noise or malfunction. A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped. The system can recognize the maximum of 255 folders (including the root folder). 511 MP3 files. 512 MP3 files and folders on a single disc. 8 folder levels. Depending on the encoding/writing software, recording device, or the recording media used to record an MP3 file, you may encounter problems such as cannot play back, sound interruptions and noise.

The program list is cleared when you perform the erase operation. You cannot erase audio files and folders in Shuffle Play mode or Program Play mode.
In Program Play mode, the folder name is PGM_xxx, and the file name depends on the transferring source (AUDIO CD or MP3 disc). 2) Up to 32 characters of the name are assigned. 3) Folder numbers are assigned serially thereafter. 4) File numbers are assigned serially thereafter. 5) A new file is transferred in the REC1 folder each time REC1 Transferring is performed.
Do not remove the USB device during transferring or erase operations. Doing so may corrupt the data on the USB device or damage the USB device itself. Do not connect the system and the USB device through an USB hub. You cannot eject the disc during transferring from disc to USB. When transferring from an MP3 disc, MP3 files are transferred with the same bit rate as the original MP3 files. When transferring from other sound source, the tracks are transferred as 128 kbps MP3 files. While transferring from an MP3 disc, no sound is output. If you cancel the transferring partway, an MP3 file is created up to the point when the transferring was stopped. Transferring stops automatically if: the USB device runs out of space during transferring. the number of audio files on the USB device reaches the limit for the number that the system can recognize. A folder that contains non-audio format files or sub folders cannot be erased. The maximum number of folders that can be created on a single USB device by this system is 997. The maximum number of MP3 files that can be created on a single USB device by this system is 999. The maximum number of audio files and folders may vary depending on the audio file and folder structure. If a folder or file that you are trying to transfer already exists on the USB device with the same name, a sequential number is added after the name without overwriting the original folder or file. If you perform transferring after the erase operation, the new transferred files or folders may have the name that same as the erased files or folders. Therefore, the playback sequence may different from the transferring sequence.

Notes on USB device

The following situations can increase the time it takes to start playback: the folder structure is complex. the memory capacity is excessive. When the USB device is connected, the system reads all the files on the USB device. If there are many folders or files on the USB device, it may take a long time to finish reading the USB device. Do not connect the system and the USB device through an USB hub. Depending on the previous operation you have performed with the USB device, the operation time for the USB device may vary. If the system is turned off during Resume Play mode, when the system is turned on again playback starts from the beginning of the audio file. This system does not necessarily support all the functions provided in a connected USB device. The playback order for the system may differ from the playback order of the connected USB device. Always hold down x on the unit and make sure that No Device appears before removing the USB device. Removing the USB device while No Device is not displayed may corrupt the data on it or damage the USB device itself.
You are recommended not to save other types of files or unnecessary folders on an USB device that has audio files. A folder that does not include an audio file is skipped. Files and folders are played back in alphabetical order in this system. The system can only play back MP3 files with the extension.mp3. WMA files with the extension.wma. AAC files with the extension.m4a. Note that even when file names have the above file extensions, if the actual file differs, the system may produce noise or may malfunction.
