• To repeat both MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image 

files in a single album, repeat the same MP3 audio 
track or album when “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set 
to “AUTO.” See “Playing repeatedly (Repeat 
Play)” (page 33) to repeat the track or album.

• The player recognizes a maximum of 200 albums 

regardless of the selected mode. Of each album, 
the player recognizes up to 300 MP3 audio tracks 
and 300 JPEG image files when “AUTO” is 
selected, 600 MP3 audio tracks when “AUDIO 
(MP3)” is selected, 600 JPEG image files when 
“IMAGE (JPEG)” is selected.

• This function does not work if the MP3 audio 

tracks and JPEG image files are not placed in the 
same album.

• If playing time of JPEG image or MP3 audio is 

longer than the other, the longer one continues 
without sound or image.

• If you play large MP3 track data and JPEG image 

data at the same time, the sound may skip. It is 
recommended that you set the MP3 bit rate to 128 
kbps or lower when creating the file. If the sound 
still skips, then reduce the size of the JPEG file.

• The player skips to the next disc if the current disc 

contains MP3 audio tracks only and “MODE 
(MP3, JPEG)” is set to “IMAGE (JPEG),” or the 
disc contains JPEG image files only and “MODE 
(MP3, JPEG)” is set to “AUDIO (MP3).” It is
