Cautions as to the display of
this unit
Common
¡High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recom-
mended for high quality sounds.
¡Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended
because playing time is not displayed properly and
sound may be skipped.
¡
The playback sound quality differs depending on the encod-
ing circumstances. For details, refer to the user manual of
your own encoding software and writing software.
¡Be sure to put an extension compatible with the format.
MP3
¡It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or
more” and “fixed”.
WMA
¡It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps or
more” and “fixed”.
¡Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA file
to enable this unit to play back.
AAC
¡It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or
more” and “Stereo”.
¡Files with the extension of “.m4a” encoded using
iTunes version 6 are playable on this unit. Some of the
files using other encoders are not playable. 
¡Files encoded using Apple Lossless Encoder are not
playable. 
¡Files with copyright protection are not playable.
Caution
Never put an extension indicating compressed audio (such as “.mp3”, “.wma”, and “.m4a”) to
files other than compressed audio files. This may not only produce noise from the speaker
damage, but also damage your hearing.
Setting at file making

MP3/WMA/AAC PlayerCautions as to disc making
Compressed audio file writing
¡Do not save an audio file (CD-DA file) and a com-
pressed audio file on the same disc. Failure to
observe this may result in difficulty in playing.
¡If compressed audio files formatted with two or
more types are saved on the same disc, each format
shall have a different folder.
¡Do not write files other than compressed audio files.
¡Playability may depend on the combination of writing
software and disc writer to be used.
¡This unit does not support the play list function.
¡Write files in a disc-at-once manner unless otherwise
needed.
¡You can shorten the duration between data read and
playback by decreasing the quantity of files or folders,
or the depth of the hierarchy.
Supported file systems
ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2/Level 3, Joliet, Romeo
Note: Apple HFS, UDF 1.50, Mix CD and CD Extra are
not supported.
Folder selection order/file playback order

pressed audio file, the nearest compressed audio file
in the order of playback will play.
¡Playback order of this unit may be different from that
of other compressed audio players even if the same
disc is used
