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 
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 number of 
sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
Naming folders and files
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”
