Playable media
MP3 or WMA playback order of MP3 or
WMA files
When there are multiple folders containing MP3 or WMA files, the
playback order of folders is automatically set when this unit reads the
media. The files in each folder are played back in the order in which
the files were recorded on the media, from the oldest date and time.
CD-R/CD-RW
For playback of files on CD-R or CD-RW , files in all folders on the first
layer are played first, next on the second layer, then next on the third
layer, and so on in this order.
USB memory device
For playback of files recorded on USB, files in the first folder on the
first layer are played first, next folders on the second layer in the folder,
then next on the third layer, and so on in this order. Then accordingly
files on another first layer are played.
•The playback order displayed on a PC may differ from the actual
playback order.
•The playback order with a CD-R/CD-RW may differ, depending on
the writing software.
NOTE
•The playback order may differ from the order in which the folders
or files were recorded if you delete or add a folder or file on USB.
This occurs because of data recording specifications and is not a
malfunction.
About Discs and Files
Files, such as MP3/WMA etc., recorded on CD-R/-RW and USB
memory device are divided into large segments (folders) and small
segments (files). Files are stored in folders, and folders can be placed
for storage in a hierarchy. The unit can recognize up to 8 levels of
folders.
