The playing order of the folders and files is as follows:

• When the disc is inserted, the unit 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 that can be displayed on this unit are listed below:

– A - Z
– 0 - 9
– _ " $ % ' ( ) * + , – . / \ ` @ |

  Other characters are displayed as “_”.
• This unit conforms to Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 of the ID3 

tag format. When the file has ID3 tag information, the song title, 
artist name and album name can be displayed and “ID3” appears 
in the display. If the file does not have ID3 tag information, the 
file name appears instead of the song title, the folder name appears 
instead of the album name and “NO ARTIST” appears instead of 
the artist name. 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.

unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random 
noise that could damage your speakers.
