rate of at least 128 kbps are recom-
mended. 

 The MP3/WMA player does not play back

Discs should be record ed using “pre-mas-
tering” software rather than packet-write
software.

audio player.
 MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO for-
mats are not compatible with the audio
player.
 The player is compatible with VBR (Vari-

(Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if the fastfor-
ward or reverse operations are used.
 It is not possible to check folders that do
not include MP3/WMA files.
 MP3/WMA files in folders up to 8 levels
deep can be played. However, the start of

The play order of the compact disc with
the structure shown above is as follows:
 MP3/WMA player: It is possible to play up
to 192 folders or 255 files on one disc.
 USB memory: It is possible to play up to
3000 folders, 255 files per folder or 9999
files in the device.
 The order changes depending on the per-
sonal computer and MP3/WMA encoding
software you use.
 CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a pro-
cess that allows discs to be played on a
conventional CD player) cannot be
played.
 It may not be possible to play CD-R/CD-
RW discs recorded on a music CD
recorder or a personal computer because
of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on
the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the
lens of the unit.
 It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the
environment. Record with the correct for-
mat. (For details, contact the appropriate
application manufacturers of the applica-
tions.) 
CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged by
direct exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures or other storage conditions. The unit
may be unable to play some damaged
discs.
 If you insert a CD-RW disc into the MP3/
WMA player, playback will begin more
slowly than with a conventional CD or CD-
R disc.
 Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot be
played using the DDCD (Double Density
CD) system.
 This is a general term that describes the
process of writing data on-demand to CD-
R, etc., in the same way that data is writ-
ten to floppy or hard discs.
 This is a method of embedding track-
related information in an MP3 file. This
embedded information can include the
track title, the artist’s name, the album
title, the music genre, the year of produc-
tion, comments and other data. The con-
tents can be freely edited using software
with ID3 tag editing functions. Although
the tags are restricted to a number of
characters, the information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
 WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA
tags carry information such as track title
and artist name.

INFORMATION
● A USB memory or iPod must be con-
nected to enable track searching and
playback. (See “USB MEMORY OPER-
ATION” on page 236 and “iPod OPERA-
TION” on page 241.)
● When a USB memory or iPod is con-
nected, recognition data is created so
tracks can be searched using voice
commands.
● Recognition data is updated under the
following conditions:
• When the USB memory or iPod data
has changed.
• When the voice recognition language is changed. (See page 46.)
● While the recognition data is being cre-
ated or being updated, a track search
cannot be performed using a voice com-
mand.
● While “Play Music” is displayed in the
“Shortcut menu” screen, say “Play
music” to display the music screen from
which searching for a track using a voice
command can be performed.
● When “Play Music” is dimmed in the
“Shortcut Menu” screen, it is not possi-
ble to search for a track using a voice
command. In this situation, reduce the
amount of music data in the USB mem-
ory or iPod and update the recognition
data to enable searching by voice com-
mand.
