WMA format. When playing a disc in
MP3 or WMA, you will see
‘‘MP3 ’’or
‘‘ WMA’’ on the center display. A disc
can support more than 99 folders,
and each folder can hold up to 255
playable files.
When there are more than 99 folders
on a disc, the center display only
shows two digits.
NOTE : If a file on an MP3 or WMA
disc is protected by digital rights
management (DRM), the audio unit
displays FORMAT, and then skips to
the next file.
If the disc has a complex structure, it
will take a while to read the disc
before the system begins to play it.
