4 – Playback—Playing MP3 files
22
Caution
MP3 files converted at a sampling rate other than 44.1
kHz cannot be played correctly. The recommended
format is a 44.1 kHz sampling rate and a bit rate of
128 kbps or higher.
Note
• For a disc on which MP3 files are stored, each MP3
file is handled as a “track”.
• Even if the MP3 disc is internally divided into multiple
directories (a hierarchical structure), all MP3 files
including those in sub-directories and sub-sub-direc-
tories will be read.
• Track numbers are assigned automatically, starting
with MP3 files in the root directory (the top level of the
disc).

To begin playback, press the (play) but-
ton.
The MP3 will playback.
Note
• You can select songs in the same way as when oper-
ating a conventional disc.
• You can use program playback and repeat playback
(except for A-B repeat playback) in the same way as
on a conventional disc.
• If you press the ENTER button during playback or
while paused, the ID3 tag of the MP3 file is displayed.
If there is no ID3 tag, the file name is displayed.
Caution
You can’t search through a track on an MP3 disc.
Specifying a directory for playback
Here’s how to use directory mode, in which you can
playback the MP3 files within a specified directory of
the MP3 disc.
<About directory playback>
A directory (also called a “folder”) is a hierarchical
level on CD media or a hard disk.
If directory mode is on, only the files within the
selected directory will be the target of your opera-
tions, and functions such as program playback and
repeat playback will all occur within the same direc-
tory.
If directory mode is off, the directory structure of the
disc is ignored, and all MP3 files on the disc will be
subject to playback.
Note
• For a disc on which MP3 files are stored, each MP3
file is handled as a “track”.
• Directories that do not contain MP3 files cannot be
selected for operations. For example in the illustration
below, directories B and C contain MP3 files and can
be selected for operations, but directory A is excluded
from operations.
Caution
If you turn directory mode on, the MP3 files in the root
directory (the top level that contains directory A and
directory D in the above illustration) cannot be played.
