• This unit will play CD-R, and CD-RW discs contain-

ing files saved in the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) 
or Windows Media Audio (WMA) format with a sam-
pling rate of 32*, 44.1 or 48 kHz. Incompatible files 
will not play and the message “Can’t play this format” 
will be displayed (“NO PLAY” in the front panel dis-
play).
* This unit will not play 32 kHz WMA files encoded 
at 20 kbps.

• Fixed bit-rate MP3 files are recommended. Variable 

bit-rate (VBR) MP3 files are playable, but playing 
times may not be shown correctly.

• This player is compatible with WMA data encoded 

using Windows Media Player version 8 (or less) or 
Windows Media Player for Windows XP.

• This player is not compatible with lossless-encoding 

or variable bit-rate (VBR) WMA files.

• WMA files encoded with DRM (Digital Rights Man-

agement) copy protection will not play and the mes-
sage “Can’t play this format” will be displayed (“NO 
PLAY” in the front panel display).

• WMA/MP3 discs must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2 com-

pliant. CD physical format: Mode1, Mode2 XA 
Form1. Romeo and Joliet file systems are both com-
patible with this player.

• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your files. 

The disc must be finalized (i.e. the session must be 
closed) in order to play in this unit. This player is not 
compatible with multi-session discs. Only the first ses-
sion of a multi-session disc will be recognized.

• This player only plays tracks that are named with the 

file extension .mp3, .MP3, .wma, or .WMA.

• When naming MP3 and WMA files, add the corre-

sponding file name extension (.mp3 or .wma). Files 
are played according to the file extension. To prevent 
noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions 
for other kinds of files.

• This player can recognize up to 999 files (WMA/MP3/

JPEG) and up to 499 folders. If a disc exceeds these 
limits, only files and folders up to these limits will be 
playable. Files and folders are read/displayed in alpha-
betical order. Note that if the file structure is very com-
plex, you may not be able to read/play all files on the 
disc.

• Folder and track names (excluding the file extension) 

are displayed.

• There are many different recording bit rates available 

to encode MP3 files. This unit was designed to be 
compatible with all of them. Audio encoded at 
128 Kbps should sound close to standard audio CD 
quality. This player will play lower bit-rate files, but 
please note that the sound quality becomes noticeably 
worse at lower bit-rates.

 

• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image files up to 8 

mega-pixels are supported (maximum vertical and 
horizontal resolution is 5120 pixels). 
(*File format used by digital still cameras)

file extension .jpg or .JPG.
