Folder
MP3 file
Notes on MP3 discs
When the disc is inserted, the unit reads all the files on that disc.
During this time, “READING” is displayed. If there are many folders
or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may take a long time for play to
begin or for the next MP3 file to start play.
Do not save unnecessary folders or files other than MP3 ones in the
disc to be used for MP3 listening.
Locating a specific MP3 file using the number buttons
on the
remote is only available for the MP3 files in the selected folder.
A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
Maximum number of files: 255
Maximum number of folders: 150
Maximum number of folders and files in total: 300
Maximum directory steps: 8
Folder names and file names can be displayed with up to 32
characters.

name” can be displayed.
When naming, be sure to add the file extension “mp3” to the file
name.
If you put the extension “mp3” to a file other than an MP3 file, the

Notes on the USB device
You cannot change the play mode during playback.
Some time may be needed before playback starts when:
– the folder structure is complex.
– the USB device is close to capacity.
When a USB device is connected, the unit reads all the files on the
device. If there are many folders or files on the device, it may take a
long time for the unit to finish reading them.
Do not connect a USB device to the unit through a USB hub.
In the case of some USB devices, when an operation is performed on
the USB device, there may be a delay before it is carried out on this
unit.
This unit may not support all the functions provided on the
connected USB device.
Files recorded by this unit are played back in the order of folder
creation. Files recorded by a device other than this unit (such as
a computer) may not play back in the order in which they were
recorded.
The playback order on this unit may differ from the playback order
on the connected USB device.
Always hold down
and make sure that “NO DEV” appears
before removing the USB device. Removing the USB device while
“NO DEV” is not displayed may corrupt the data on the USB device
or damage the USB device itself.
Do not save non-MP3 files or unnecessary folders to a USB device
that contains MP3 files.
During playback, folders that contain no MP3 files are skipped.
This unit can play only MP3 files that have the “MP3” file extension.
If there are files on the disc that have the “.MP3” file extension, but
are not MP3 files, the unit may produce noise or malfunction.
A maximum of 999 MP3 files and 999 folders can be contained on a
single USB device.
The maximum number of MP3 files and folders may vary, depending
on the file and folder structure.
Compatibility with all MP3 encoding/writing software, recording
devices, and recording media cannot be guaranteed. If you use
an incompatible USB device, the sound skipping or noise may be
produced, or the device may not play at all.
Recording from a disc to a USB device
By connecting a USB device (digital music player or USB
storage media) to the

This unit supports recording from CD-DA and MP3
discs only. Sound from this unit’s cassette player or radio
cannot be recorded to a USB device.
Audio files are recorded on this unit in the MP3 format.
The approximate recording size is about 1 MB per minute
of recording time from a CD. The file size may be larger
for recordings made from an MP3 disc.

Notes
Do not remove the USB device during recording or erase operations.
Doing so may corrupt the data on the USB device or damage the
USB device itself.
Do not connect a USB device to the unit through a USB hub.
When recording from a CD, the tracks are recorded as MP3 files at
128 kbps. When recording from an MP3 disc, MP3 files are recorded
with the same bit rate as the original MP3 files.
While recording from an MP3 disc, no sound is output and “HI-
SPEED” appears.
CD text information is not included in the MP3 files.
If you cancel a recording before it is completed, an MP3 file is
created with the contents up to the point the recording was stopped.
Recording stops automatically if:
– the USB device runs out of space during recording, or
– the number of MP3 files on the USB device reaches the limit that
the unit can recognize.
A maximum of 999 MP3 files and 999 folders can be contained on a
single USB device (including root and MUSIC).
The maximum number of MP3 files and folders may vary, depending
on the MP3 file and folder structure.
You cannot erase MP3 files and folders in Shuffle Play or Program
Play.
If a folder to be erased contains non-MP3 format files or sub folders,
these are not erased.
If a folder or file with the same name as the one you are trying to
record already exists on the USB device, a sequential number is
added after the name for the newly recorded folder or file to avoid
overwriting the existing one.
When recording tracks from an MP3 disc to a USB device, there is
no sound output.
