When the disc is inserted, the player reads all the files on that disc. 
During this time, “READING” is displayed. If there are many 
folders or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may take a long time for play 
to begin or for the next MP3 file to start play.
We recommend that you do not save unnecessary folders or files 
other than MP3 ones in the disc to be used for MP3 listening.
A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
Maximum number of files: 255
Maximum number of folders: 150 (including the root folder)
Maximum number of folders and files in total: 256
Maximum directory levels: 8
Folder names and file names can be displayed with up to 30 
characters including quotation marks.
The characters A - Z, 0 - 9, and _ can be displayed on this player. 
Other characters are displayed as “_”.
This player conforms to Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 of the 
ID3 tag format. When the file has the ID3 tag information, “song 
title”, “artist name” and “album name” can be displayed and 
“ID3” appears in the display. If the file does not have the ID3 tag 
information, file name appears instead of song title, folder name 
appears instead of album name and “no artist” appears instead of 
artist name. The ID3 tag information can be displayed with up to 15 
characters.
When naming, be sure to add the file extension “mp3” to the file 
name.
If you put the extension “mp3” to a file other than an MP3 file, the 
player cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random 
noise that could damage your speakers.
The file name does not correspond to the ID3 tag.
Adjusting the volume or the audio emphasis will not affect the 
recording level.
If the AM/MW/LW program makes a whistling sound after you’ve 
press 
position of ISS (Interference Suppress Switch) that most decreases 
the noise.
For the best results, use the AC power as a power source for 
recording.
