Note, however, that the MP3 recording media and formats acceptable are limited. When writing MP3, pay attention to the following restrictions. Entering ID3 tag The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version 1.x. For the character code, refer to the List of Codes. Acceptable media The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW. When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent malfunction. Entering file and folder names The code list characters are the only file names and folder names that can be entered and displayed. If you use any other character for entry, the file and folder names are not displayed correctly. They may neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD writer used. The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 which have the MP3 extension (.MP3). A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list may not play correctly. Acceptable medium formats The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The maximum number of characters used for file name including the delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in parentheses. · ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters) · ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters) · Joliet (64 characters) · Romeo (128 characters) Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format. For a list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the writing software and the section Entering file and folder names below. The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations: · Maximum number of directory levels: 8 · Maximum number of files per folder: 255 · Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64 · Maximum number of folders: 50 MP3 written in the formats other than the above may not be successfully played and their file names or folder names are not properly displayed. Writing files into a medium When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or nonMP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3. In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or a Track Search or Album Search may not be performed smoothly. Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers. · Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the MP3 extension. The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 data as long as they have the MP3 extension. · Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3. Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer When you use your CD writer to record MP3 up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once. --6-- MP3 playing order When selected for play, Album Search, Track Search, or for Album Select, files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the CD writer. Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3 are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer. For example, a medium with the following folder/ file hierarchy is subject to Album Search, Track Search, or Album Select as shown below. Example ...
