≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for
extended formats). 
≥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 num-
ber of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

take some time before the music itself starts playing and the
elapsed time will not be displayed during this time. Even after
the track starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.
≥This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
≥Compatible sampling rate: 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and
48 kHz.
Compatible compression rate: between 32 kbps and 320 kbps
Naming folders and files
≥MP3 files must have the extension
“.MP3” or “.mp3”.
≥At the time of recording, give folder
and file names a 3-digit numeric
prefix in the order you want them to
play (this may not work at times).
