playback of audio files on a USB portable
audio player/USB memory with numerous
folder hierarchies.
! File extensions such as .wma, .mp3 or.m4a
must be used properly.

The sequence of audio files on

! 01 to 05 represent assigned folder num-
bers. 1 to 6 represent the playback se-
quence. The user cannot assign folder
numbers and specify the playback se-
quence with this unit.
! The sequence of audio files/folders to be
played back, selected by the scan play and
displayed in the file name list is determined
as follows:
— The sequence of files is given priority
over the sequence of subfolders.
— In a folder, the sequence of audio files/
subfolders is the same as the order you
copy from a personal computer to the
USB memory.
However, the sequence may be altered de-
pending on the settings and the operating
system of the personal computer.
Also, when you select several folders/files
at one time and copy to the USB memory,
the expected sequence of audio files to be
played back, selected and displayed may
not coincide with the actual sequence.
! If you want to specify the sequence of the
audio files, refer to Example of a hierarchy
on this page and copy the folders/files in
order.
— We recommend that you specify the file
names in the desired playback se-
quence (e.g., 001xxxxx.mp3 for the first,
099yyyyy.wma for 99th, etc.).
