You can play MP3 audio tracks on CD-ROMs 
or CD-Rs/CD-RWs. However, the discs must 
be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1, 
level 2, or Joliet format for the player to 
recognize the tracks.
You can also play discs recorded in Multi 
Session.

See the instructions of the CD-R/CD-RW 
device or recording software (not supplied) 
for details on the recording format.

This player can play Multi Session CDs when 
an MP3 audio track is located in the first 
session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks, 
recorded in the later sessions, can also be 
played back.
When audio tracks and images in music CD 
format or video CD format are recorded in the 
first session, only the first session will be 
played back.

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to data not in 

MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the data 
properly and will generate a loud noise which 
could damage your speaker system.

• The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO 

format.

The playback order of albums and tracks 
recorded on a DATA CD is as follows.

When you insert a DATA CD and press H, 
the numbered tracks are played sequentially, 
from 

1

 through 

7

. Any sub-albums/tracks 

contained within a currently selected album 
take priority over the next album in the same 
tree. (Example: C contains D so 

4

 is played 

before 

5

.)

When you press MENU and the list of MP3 
albums appears (page 28), the albums are 
arranged in the following order: A 

t B t 

C

 

t D t F t G. Albums that do not 

contain tracks (such as album E) do not 
appear in the list.

z

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front 

of the track file names, the tracks will be played in 
that order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start 

playback, it is recommended that you create 
albums of no more than two trees.

• Depending on the software you use to create the 

DATA CD, the playback order may differ from 
the illustration above.

• The playback order above may not be applicable 

if there are more than a total of 200 albums and 
tracks in the DATA CD.

• The player can recognize up to 100 albums (the 

player will count just albums, including albums 
that do not contain MP3 audio tracks). The player 
will not play any albums beyond the first 100 
albums. Of the first 100 albums, the player will 
play no more than a combined total of 200 albums 
and tracks.

You can set the following play modes:
• Program Play (page 30)
• Shuffle Play (page 32)
• Repeat Play (page 33)
• A-B Repeat Play (page 33)

The play mode is canceled when:
– you open the disc tray.
– the player enters standby mode by pressing [/1.

You can play the contents of a disc in the 
order you want by arranging the order of the 
titles, chapters, or tracks on the disc to create 
your own program. You can program up to 99 
titles, chapters, and tracks.
