To play back MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) file
There are many music sites on the internet that you can
download MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files.
Follow the instructions from the website on how to
download the music files. You can then play back these
downloaded music files by burning them to a CD-R/RW
disc.

● Your downloaded song/files are for personal use only.

Any other usage of the song without owner’s
permission, is against the law.

If MP3/WMA files are recorded in several folders, a folder
number will be set to each folder automatically.

These folders can be selected by the FOLDER button on
the remote control. If there is no supported file formats
inside the selected folder, the folder is skipped and the next

on the disc depends on the writing software. There
maybe possibilities that this unit will playback the files
not according to our expected playback order.

inclusive of the folders which have non playable files
can be read.
