• MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA (Windows Media Audio) and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) are audio compression standards.
• This system can play MP3/WMA/AAC files on CD-R, CD-RW discs, USB memory, and Bluetooth device.
• This system can play disc recordings compatible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2 and with the Romeo and Joliet file system.
• When naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an appropriate file extension (.mp3/ .wma/.m4a).
• This system plays back files with .mp3/ .wma/.m4a file extensions as MP3/WMA/ AAC files respectively. To prevent noise and playback errors, use the appropriate file extension.
• This system can play only the first session when using multi-session compatible CDs.
• MP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats. This system cannot display disc title, track title and artist name in other formats.
• WMA/AAC files can contain a WMA/ AAC tag that is used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags carry information such as track title and artist name.
• The emphasis function is available only when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.
• This system can play back AAC files encoded by iTunes.
• The sound quality of MP3/WMA files generally improves with higher bit rates. In order to achieve a reasonable level of sound quality, discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps are recommended.
• The MP3/WMA player does not play back MP3/WMA files from discs recorded using packet write data transfer (UDF format). Discs should be recorded using "pre-mastering" software rather than packetwrite software.
• M3u playlists are not compatible with the audio device.
• MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO formats are not compatible with the audio device.
• The player is compatible with VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
• When playing back files recorded as VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will not be correctly displayed if the fast forward or reverse operations are used.
• It is not possible to check folders that do not include MP3/WMA/AAC files.
• MP3/WMA/AAC files in folders up to 8 levels deep can be played. However, the start of playback may be delayed when using discs containing numerous levels of folders. For this reason, we recommend creating discs with no more than 2 levels of folders.

• The play order of the compact disc with the structure shown above is as follows:
• The order changes depending on the personal computer and MP3/WMA/AAC encoding software you use.
