Note, however,that the MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG recording mediaand formats acceptable are limited. When writingMP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG, pay attention to thefollowing restrictions.Acceptable mediaThe MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG recording media acceptable tothis unit are CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW,DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW.When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to preventmalfunction.Acceptable medium formatsThe following formats are available for the media used in thisunit. The maximum number of characters used for file nameincluding the delimiter (".") and three-character extension areindicated in parentheses.• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)• Joliet (64 characters)• Romeo (128 characters)Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file nameformat.

For recording on an empty disc up to the maximumcapacity at once, check Disc at Once.• Play mode may not be possible when portions of the functionsof Windows Media Player 9 or higher are used.• *1 A part of picture will not be displayed if the size of a pictureexceeds maximum.• *2 A picture will not be displayed if the size of a picture exceedsmaximum.• When you write for MPEG 2 data, please be sure to use DVDmedia.• When you write data in DVD media, please be sure to set a setupof a DVD writer to "Disc at once".Entering ID3 tagThe Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version 1.x.For the character code, refer to the List of Codes.Entering file and folder namesEntering file and folder namesYou can use only characters shown on the code table for filename and folder name.If you use any other character for entry, the file and foldernames are not displayed correctly. They may neither bedisplayed correctly depending on the CD/DVD writer used.The MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG file must have the MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG extension (.mp3/.wma/.jpg/.mpg).• A file with a name entered with characters not on the code listmay not play correctly.Writing files into a mediumWhen a medium containing MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG data isloaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium. If themedium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit startsplaying MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG.In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the nextMP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG file or a File Search or Folder Searchmay not be performed smoothly.Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage thespeakers.• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG file with the MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG extension.The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG files for MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG data as long as they have the MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG extension.• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG.
