Information and advice

The audio system will only play files with

extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a compression

rate that is constant or variable between

32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or

CDRW, when recording it is preferable to select

standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.

If the disc is recorded in another format, it may

not be played correctly.

It is recommended that the same recording

standard is always used for an individual disc,

with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum)

for optimum sound quality.

In the particular case of a multi-session CD,

the Joliet standard is recommended.

It is advisable to restrict file names to

20 characters without using special characters

(e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying

problems.

The playlists accepted are types .m3u and .pls.

The number of files is limited to 5 000 in

500 directories on a maximum of 8 levels.

Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT32

(File Allocation Table).

On a single disc, the CD player can

read up to 255 MP3 files spread

over 8 directory levels. However, it

is recommended that this be kept to

2 levels so as to limit the time taken to

access and play the CD.

Do not connect a hard disk or USB

device other than audio players to the

your installation.
