Multisession CDs For multisession CDs, the content of the first
session determines how the multimedia system
processes the CD. The multimedia system plays only one session and gives priority to the audio
CD session.
File structure of a data carrier When you create a disc with compressed music
files, the tracks can be organized in folders. A
folder may also contain subfolders. The disc
may contain no more than eight directory levels. Files beyond the eighth level will not be recog-
nized by the system.
i The multimedia system supports data carri-
ers with up to 50,000 files.
In the case of a data carrier with more than
64 GB of stored data, only files in folders with the following names are supported: Music,
Pictures, Video.
Track and file names When you create a disc with compressed music
files, you can assign names to the tracks and
folders. 142
Audio/video modeMedia

If MP3 or WMA files are stored in the root direc-
tory itself, the root directory will also be treated as a folder.
You should observe the following when assign-
ing track names:
R track names must have at least one character
R track names must have an extension of a sup-
ported audio or video format, e.g. mp3, aac or m4v.
R there must be a dot between the track name
and the extension
Example of a correct track name:
"Track1.mp3".

R Files with variable bit rates
R WMA Pro
R 5.1 surround sound i
Only use tracks with a bit rate of at least
128 kbit/s and a sampling rate of at least
44.1 kHz. Lower rates can cause a noticeable
deterioration in quality. This is especially the
case if you have activated a surround sound
function.

Notes on copyright Audio or video files that you create or reproduce
yourself for playback are generally subject to
copyright protection.
In many countries, reproductions, even for pri-
vate use, are not permitted without the prior
consent of the copyright holder.
Make sure that you know about the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply with
these.
Notes on CDs/DVDs !
Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908 standard discs. Therefore, you can
only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con- tain data on both sides (DVD on one side and
audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
Discs with copy protection are not compatible
with the audio CD standard and therefore may
not be able to be played. Audio/video mode
