The playback order of the MP3 files
The playback order of the folders and files is as
follows:
Tree1 Tree2 Tree3 Tree4 Tree5
Notes
This player cannot read the MP3 files if the file
name does not end with the extension “.mp3”.
Folders that do not include MP3 files are skipped.
When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a
longer time to start playback. We recommend that
you make only one or two trees for each disc.
Maximum total number of MP3 files and folders is
300, and maximum number of folders is 150
(including root folder and empty folders).
If the maximum number of folders or MP3 files is
exceeded, the additional folders/MP3 files are not
recognized. For example, if you insert the disc with
151 folders, the player reads only 150 folders.
The CD player can play MP3 files in folders nested
up to 8 layers deep in the folder tree.

Notes
With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1, folder
names or file names may not be displayed correctly.
When naming, be sure to add the file extension
“.MP3” to the file name.
If you add the extension “.MP3” to a file other than
MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and
will generate random noise that could damage your
speakers.
The following discs take a longer time to start
playback.
–a disc recorded with a complicated tree structure.
–a disc recorded in Multi Session.
–a disc to which data can be added (non-finalized
disc).
Cautions when playing a disc that is
recorded in Multi Session
CD-DA (audio) data or MP3 files stored on a Multi
Session CD may be subject to some restrictions on
playback.
– If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is
recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and playback
continues until an MP3 session is encountered.
– If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is
recognized as an MP3 disc, and playback continues
until a CD-DA (audio) session is encountered.
– The playback range of an MP3 disc is determined
by the tree structure of files produced by analyzing
of the disc.
–A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized
as a CD-DA (audio) disc.
