DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837.
The unit only accepts 12-cm standard CDs.
The supported file formats listed are collectively referred to below as “audio 
files”. A CD containing audio files of these types is referred to as an “audio 
data CD”. Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage may 
render a data medium unusable. Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers 
may lead to problems during playback.
Observe copyright laws!
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows 
Vista
® ensure that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium 
due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for 
recording. Information can be found on th e Internet on the best ways to create 
audio files and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium 
containing compressed audio files (MP3, WMA etc.) than a “normal” audio 
CD. Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data 
medium.
Playlists  only determine a certain playing order. There are no  files stored in a 
playlist. The unit will  not play a playlist if the files are  not on the data medium 
at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).
