• If a problem should occur, have the set inspected at  
your store of purchase.  
USB Port  
• The USB memory stick may stick out when inserted,

wipe it off occasionally with a soft cloth. The surface  
is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard  
objects.

skipped, and the scan, random and repeat playback  
mode may be canceled.  
When selected for play, files and folders (Folder  
Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in  
the order in which they were written to the media.  
• File and Disc Not Supported  
As a result, the order in which they are expected to  
be played may not match the order in which they are  
actually played.  
Files and discs with following extensions are not  
supported: *.AAC, *.DLF, *.M3U, *.PLS, *.MP3 PRO  
files, files with DRM, open session discs.  
You may be able to set the order in which MP3/  
WMA files are to be played by assigning file names  
beginning with play sequence numbers such as “01”  
to “99”.  
• Logical format (File system)  
1. When writing an MP3/WMA file on a disc, please  
select “ISO9660 level 1 or level 2 (without including  
expansion format)” as the writing software format.  
Normal playback may not be possible if the disc is  
recorded on another format.  
For example, a medium with the following folder/ file  
hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or  
Folder Select.  
See the diagram below.  
2. The folder name and file name can be displayed  
as the title during MP3/WMA play but the title  
must be within 31 single byte alphabetical letters  
and numerals for the folder name and file name  
(including an extension). Entering more letters or  
numerals than specified may cause an incorrect  
display.  
• Entering File and Folder Names  
Names using the code list characters are the only  
file names and folder names that can be entered and  
displayed. Using any other character will cause the file  
and folder names to be displayed incorrectly.  
• Electronic Shock Protection

• Folder structure  
1. A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical  
levels will conflict with the ISO9660 and playback  
will be impossible.  
• Number of files or folders  
1. The maximum allowable number of folders is 255  
(including root directory); the maximum allowable  
number of files is 1500 (max. 255 per folder). This  
represents the maximum number of tracks that can  
be played back.  
The player will only recognize three folder levels and  
does not display folders containing other folders. In  
the example above, the unit will display folders 2,3, 5  
and 7, but 1 and 6 since they do not contain others.  
2. Tracks are played in the order that they were  
recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not always be  
played in the order displayed on the PC).  
• Some noise may occur depending on the type of  
encoder software used while recording.  
• In case of a track recorded at VBR (variable bit rate),  
the display for the play time of the track may be  
slightly different from the actual play time. Also, the  
recommended value of VBR ranges from 32 kbps to
