The medium formats supported by the radio are ISO 9660
Level 1 and Level 2 and includes the Joliet extension.
When reading discs recorded using formats other than
ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2, the radio may fail to read

mally. UDF and Apple HFS formats are not supported.

²Maximum number of files: 255
²Maximum number of folders: 100
²Maximum number of characters in file/folder names:
²Level 1: 12 (including a separator9.9and a three-

character extension)Multisession disc formats are supported by the radio.
Multisession discs may contain combinations of normal
CD audio tracks and computer files (including MP3/
WMA files). Discs created with an option such as9keep
disc open after writing9are most likely multisession
discs. The use of multisession for CD audio or MP3/

If a disc contains multi-formats, such as CD audio and
MP3/WMA tracks, the radio will only play the MP3/
WMA tracks on that disc.

The radio will recognize only files with the *.MP3/WMA
extension as MP3/WMA files. Non-MP3/WMA files
named with the *.MP3/WMA extension may cause play-
back problems. The radio is designed to recognize the file
as an invalid MP3/WMA and will not play the file.

data to an MP3/WMA file, the bit rate and sampling
