When making MP3 files to play on this unit
• This unit is not compatible with packet-write format.
• When both MP3 and CD-DA data is recorded on the disc over a
number of sessions:
• If the first session contains MP3 recordings, the unit will play from
the MP3 made in that session till the session before the first CD-
DA recordings.
• If the first session contains CD-DA recordings, the unit will play
only the recordings made in that session. The subsequent
sessions will be ignored.
• Maximum number of displayable characters:
Album/track title: 21
ID3 title/artist name: 24
Text data that the unit doesn’t support cannot be displayed.
(ID3 is a tag embedded in MP3 track to provide information about
the track.)
• You cannot use RANDOM and RANDOM REPEAT modes, search
function, and TIME ACCESS function.
• Some MP3 may not be played due to the condition of the disc or
recording.
• Recordings will not necessarily be played in the order you recorded
them.
