Information and advice
Playing an MP3 CD compilation
Insert an MP3 CD compilation in the player.
The audio system will only play files with the extension ".mp3" with
a sampling rate of 22.05 KHz or 44.1 KHz. No other type of file
(.wma, .mp4, .m3u...) can be played.
The audio equipment searches for all of the music tracks, which
may take anything between a few seconds and several tens of
seconds, before play begins.
On a single disc, the CD player can read up to 255 MP3 files
spread over 8 folder levels. However, it is advisable to keep to
a limit of two levels to reduce the access time before the CD is
played.
It is advisable to restrict file names to 20 characters without using
special characters (e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying
problems.
While the CD is being played, the folder structure is not followed.
All of the files are displayed on a single level.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when
recording, the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet file format is
recommended.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played
correctly.
To play a disc which has already
been inserted, press the SOURCE
button several times in succession
and select CD.
It is recommended that the same recording format is always
used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible
(4x maximum) for optimum sound quality.
Press one of the buttons to select a
folder on the CD.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet format is
recommended.
Press one of the buttons to select a
track on the CD.
Press the LIST REFRESH button to display the list of directories of
the MP3 compilation.
Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT32 (File Allocation
Table).
Press and hold one of the buttons for
fast forward or backward play.
It is recommended that you use genuine Apple® USB cables for
correct operation.
