4 – CD/SD/USB playback This chapter explains playback functions for audio files stored on CDs, SD cards and USB flash drives. This explanation assumes that you have already loaded a CD, SD card or USB flash drive that contains audio files into the unit, that the unit is on, and that the current source is set appropri- ately. (see “Selecting the playback source” on page 20) Files that can be played back This unit can play back files in the following formats. Audio CDs Commercially-available music CDs as well as CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been created in the audio CD format Data CDs CD-ROM/R/RW discs with MP3 or WMA files using ISO 9660 (Lev- el 1, Level 2 or Joliet) recording formats can be played back. SD card/USB flash drive In addition to files (MP3) dubbed by this unit, this unit can play audio files that have been recorded by other units or written by a computer or other audio device if they use the following formats. Files that can be played back File extensions AAC .m4a, .M4A MP3 .mp3, .MP3 WAV .wav, .WAV WMA .wma, .WMA NOTE

This unit cannot play CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been finalized.

For information about sampling frequencies and bit rates that can be played back, see “Playback file formats” at the end of this manual. (see “Ratings” on page 41)

This display of this unit can only show half-width (normal) alphabet letters and numbers (single-byte). If a file name uses Japanese, Chinese or other full-width (double-byte) characters, playback is possible but those characters will be replaced with * on the display.

MP3 files are recognized by the “.mp3” extension. Always add the “.mp3” extension to file names. This unit cannot play MP3 files without the “.mp3” extension. Furthermore, this unit cannot play files that have the “.mp3” extension if they are not in the MP3 data format.

WAV files are recognized by the “.wav” extension. Always add the “.wav” extension to file names. This unit cannot play WAV files without the “.wav” extension. Furthermore, this unit cannot play files that have the “.wav” extension if they are not in the WAV data format.

Media with more than 300 files or 50 folders might not play properly.

Depending on the condition of the disc, playback might skip or not be possible. Tracks and folders on SD cards and USB flash drives This unit handles audio files on SD cards and USB flash drives as “tracks”. Some data CDs, SD cards and USB flash drives store files in fold- ers in the same way that ordinary computer files are handled. Some also store multiple folders within a single folder, creating a multi-level structure. This unit assigns track numbers to audio files for management. Track numbers are assigned in the following order.

1. Playable files in each folder are sorted in Unicode order.

Folders, including empty folders and folders that do not contain playable files, are sorted in Unicode order.

2. If the root folder contains playable files, those files are

assigned numbers first.

3. After all playable files in the root folder are assigned num-

bers, if there are lower-level folders with playable files in them, those files are assigned numbers

4. If there are more folders at an even lower level with play-

able files in them, those files are assigned numbers If there are no folders in the lower level, the unit searches for folders on the same level, and then assigns numbers to the files in those folders. During ordinary playback of SD cards and USB flash drives, tracks are played in numerical order in the same way as audio CDs.
