MP3 disc.
• Each time you press and hold the button,
Group play turns on (“On group”) or off (“Off
group”) alternately.

• When Group play is turned on (“On group”), you can select a
group and play back files in a group by pressing GROUP (then move
to another group).
• When Group play is turned off (“Off group”), you can select and
play back files in the same way as you select tracks for an audio CD.
(Indications are also the same as while playing an audio CD.)
To skip groups during Group play

is selected, and the first file in that group starts

MP3 group/file configuration
How are MP3 files recorded and played back?
MP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “group” —folders or
directories, in PC terminology.
During recording, the files and groups can be arranged in a way
similar to arranging files and folders/directories of computer data.
“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file and group can be
linked to the root.
In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth of
nested directories—so-called “hierarchy”—is eight (inclusive of
the root).
Playback order, file search order, and group search order of the
MP3 files recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or
encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different
from the one you have intended while recording the groups and
the files.
The illustration above shows an ordinary example of how MP3
files are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played
back, and how they are searched on this player.
• The numbers in circles next to the MP3 files (
) indicate the
playback order and search order of the MP3 files. Normally this
player plays back MP3 files in the recorded order.
• The numbers inside the groups indicate the playback order and
search order of the groups on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit
plays back MP3 files in the groups in the recorded order.
The group marked with asterisk (*) will be skipped since they
are not including any MP3 files.

Disc Playback (Continued) Other Functions
Reinforcing the Bass
You can reinforce the bass sound—HBS (Hyper-Bass Sound).
Press HBS.
• Each time you press the button, Group play
turns on (“On Hbs”) or off (“Off Hbs”)
alternately.
To cancel Hyper-Bass Sound, press HBS again
so that “Off Hbs” appears on the display.
Using Electronic Anti-Shock Protection
With Electronic anti-Shock Protection (ESP) turned on, playback will
not be interrupted but will continue normally if the player is knocked or
jolted while listening to a disc.
• This function minimizes sound interruption caused by vibrations, by
utilizing audio data stored in the buffer before being reproduced as
sounds.
• While playing an MP3 disc, ESP is always activated though
the
ESP
indicator is not lit. (You cannot cancel it).
Press ESP/RESUME, while loading an
audio CD disc, so that the
ESP
indicator
lights up on the display.
• Each time you press the button, the
ESP
indicator lights up or goes off alternately.
• When ESP is turned on, the data is stored—:
For audio CD format discs: Up to 45-second signals
For MP3 discs: Up to 100-seconds signals
To cancel ESP, press ESP/RESUME again so that the
ESP
indicator goes off.
ESP is automatically canceled when the voltage power
drops (below 1.7 V).
Preventing Unintended Operations
You can prevent unintended operations while carrying the player, etc.
Slide the HOLD switch to the right (in
the direction of the arrow) to lock the
buttons.
• When the HOLD switch is set to the right
position, no button can work. If you press a
button, “HOLD” will appear on the display.
To unlock the button operations, slide the
HOLD switch back to the left position.
