The above recommendations cannot be taken as a
guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality.
You should note that certain technologies and
methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent
optimal playback of these files on your DVD player
(degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability
of the player to read the files).
ꢃ
When naming your MP3 or WMA files do not
exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3, .wma" as
the file extension.
General name format of: Title.mp3. or Title.wma.
When composing your title, make sure that you use 8
characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and
avoid the use of special characters including:
(.,/,\,=,+).

This unit can play a maximum of 500 files and 300
