To play back MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) file

There are many music sites on the internet that you can download MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files. Follow the instructions from the website on how to download the music files. You can then play back these downloaded music files by burning them to a CD-R/RW disc.

• Your downloaded song/files are for personal use only. Any other usage of the song without owner's permission, is against the law.

About folder playback order

If MP3/WMA files are recorded in several folders, a folder number will be set to each folder automatically.

These folders can be selected by the FOLDER button on the remote control. If there is no supported file formats inside the selected folder, the folder is skipped and the next folder will be selected.
