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 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”
“.MP3” or “.mp3”
“.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”[WMA]
≥You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
[MP3]
≥This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
≥Compatible sampling rate: 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 unviewable.
– 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 
associated sound.

≥The tape moves at high speed during fast-forward, rewind, and jet 
rewind so the unit will make a noise. Also, it takes some time for the 
tape to stop after you press [∫].
