Notes on DVDs with a DTS sound track

DTS audio signal is output at all times; a loud noise

may come out from the speakers if you connect the

unit to the audio equipment without a DTS decoder.

This may cause damage to the speakers, or affect

your hearing.

Playback order of MP3 files

Notes

• The playback order may differ depending on the

writing software.

• The unit can play up to 1,000 tracks and 256

albums. Tracks beyond the first 1,000 and albums

beyond the first 256 cannot be recognized.

Tips

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of

the track names, the tracks in each folder will be

played in numerical order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start

playback, it is recommended that you create albums

of no more than two tree levels.

• For details on MP3 files, see “About MP3 files” on

page 44.

Additional operations

* Available only when MP3 or JPEG files are played.
