Playback order of MP3/WMA files
When there are multiple folders containing MP3/WMA files, the playback
order of folders is automatically set when this unit reads the media. The
files in each folder are played back in the order in which the files were
recorded on the media, from the oldest date and time.
CD-R/CD-RW
For playback of files on CD-R or CD-RW, files in all folders on the first
layer are played first, next on the second layer, then next on the third layer,
and so on in this order.
0
The playback order displayed on a PC may differ from the actual playback order.
0
The playback order with a CD-R/CD-RW may differ, depending on the writing
software.

About discs and files
Files, such as MP3/WMA etc., recorded on CD-R/-RW are divided into
large segments (folders) and small segments (files). Files are stored in
folders, and folders can be placed for storage in a hierarchy. The unit can
recognize up to 8 levels of folders.

Explanation of terms
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)
This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme,
using the “MPEG-1” video compression standard. It compresses the data
volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining sound
quality equivalent to a music CD.
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
This is audio compression technology developed by Microsoft
Corporation.
WMA data can be encoded using Windows Media
®
Player.
To encode WMA files, only use applications authorized by Microsoft
Corporation. If you use an unauthorized application, the file may not work
properly.
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.
Dynamic range
The difference between the maximum undistorted sound level and the
minimum discernible level above the noise emitted by the device.
Bit rate
This is the amount of audio data recorded on a disc that is read in one
second.
Finalizing
This process enables CDs recorded with a CD recorder or drive to be
played by other players.
Linear PCM
This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. Unlike
lossy compression audio sources such as MP3, no audio quality or
dynamic range deteriorates.
