Note
To play a DSD disc, it is necessary to search the entire
path each time a file is accessed. Therefore, if there are
many folders on the disc, the folder is located deep in
the directory, or there are many files in the folder, it
may take an extremely long time to access the file. To
prevent this situation, it is recommended that you store
a DSF file directly in a DSD_DISC folder, and limit the
number of files in a folder to 20.
Example of directory structure on
a disc
DSF files in each folder are played in the order
of (1) to (10) as shown below. The playback
order of folders is displayed at “ALBUM” on the
display window. The playback order of files is
displayed at “TRACK.”
* This file with dsf extension is not played because it is
not stored in a DSD_DISC folder.
Playback of a disc
You can play back DSD Discs in the same way
as you do with Super Audio CDs. However, you

• Direct track selection and album selection
