Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R, CD-RW)
≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended 
for mats).
≥This unit supports 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.
≥When there are more than 8 groups, the eighth group onwards will 
be displayed on one vertical line in the menu screen.
≥There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen 
and computer screen.
≥This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
Naming folders and files
(Files are treated as content and folders 
are treated as groups on this unit.)
At the time of recording, prefix folder and 
file names with 3-digit numbers in the 
order you want to play them (this may not 
work at times).
Files must have the extension:
“.WMA” or “.wma”
“.MP3” or “.mp3”
“.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”[WMA]
≥You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
≥This unit does not support Multiple Bit Rate (MBR).
[MP3]
≥This unit does not support ID3 tags.
≥Compatible sampling rates: 8, 11.02, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 
and 48 kHz.
[JPEG]
≥To view JPEG files on this unit:
– Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF Standard 
(Design rule for Camera File system) Version 1.0. Some digital 
cameras have functions that are not supported by the DCF 
Standard Version 1.0 like automatic picture rotation which may 
render a picture un-viewable.
– Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different 
name.
≥This unit cannot display moving pictures, MOTION JPEG and other 
such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (e.g. TIFF) or play 
pictures with attached audio.
