MP3 is audio compression technology that 
satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is 
image compression technology.

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/
CD-Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 
Audio Layer 3) and JPEG format. However, 
the discs must be recorded according to 
ISO9660 level 1, level 2 or Joliet format for 
the player to recognize the tracks (or files). 
You can also play discs recorded in Multi 
Session.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/
CD-RW drives and the recording software 
(not supplied) for details on the recording 
format.

If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are 
recorded in the first session, the player will 
also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image 
files in other sessions. If audio tracks and 
images in Music CD format or Video CD 
format are recorded in the first session, only 
the first session will be played back.

The player may not be able to play some DATA 
CDs created in the Packet Write format. In this case, 
you cannot view the JPEG images recorded.

The player can play the MP3 audio tracks or 
JPEG image files:
• which have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 

audio track) or “.JPG” or “.JPEG” (JPEG 
image file)

• which conform to the DCF* image file 

format

* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image 

standards for digital cameras regulated by Japan 
Electronics and Information Technology 
Industries Association (JEITA)

• The player will play any data with the extension 

“.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG” even if they are not in 
MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may 
generate a loud noise which could damage your 
speaker system.

• The player does not conform to audio in MP3PRO 

format.

The playback order of albums, MP3 audio 
tracks, or JPEG image files recorded on a 
DATA CD is as follows:
◆Structure of disc contents

When you insert a DATA CD and press 

H, 

the numbered tracks (or files) are played 
sequentially, from 

1 through 7. Any sub-

albums/tracks (or files) contained within a 
currently selected album take priority over 

ROOT

Tree 1

Tree 2

Tree 3

Tree 4

Tree 5

Album

Track (MP3 audio) or 
File (JPEG image)

1-14

the next album in the same tree. (Example: 

C 

contains 

D so 4 is played before 5.)

When you press MENU and the list of album 
names appears (page 58), the album names 
are arranged in the following order: 

A t B 

t C t D t F t G. Albums that do 
not contain tracks (or files) (such as album 
E) do not appear in the list.

z

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front 

of the track/file names when you store the tracks 
(or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be 
played in that order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start 

playback, it is recommended that you create 
albums with no more than two trees.

• Depending on the software you use to create the 

DATA CD, the playback order may differ from 
the above illustration.

• The playback order above may not be applicable 

if there are more than 200 albums and 300 tracks/
files in each album.

• The player can recognize up to 200 albums (the 

player will count just albums, including albums 
that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG 
image files). The player will not play any albums 
beyond the 200 album.

• The player may take longer time to playback, 

when progressing to the following album or jump 
to other album.

• Some type of JPEG files cannot be played.

MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files 
recorded on DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/
CD-RWs) can be played on this player.

z

• You can view the disc information while playing 

MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files 
(page 47).

• You can select Repeat Play (page 34) or audio 

format (page 50) while playing an MP3 audio 
track.
