files. This CD player conforms to Version 1.1/2.2/2.3 of the ID3 tag format (for MP3 files only).

shuffle play, or PGM play.
*3 Bit rate and sampling frequencies. While an MP3 file made at VBR (variable bit rate) is being played,
“VBR” appears on the display instead of a bit rate. In some cases, “VBR” appears halfway through
playback, not from the beginning.
Notes
• The characters A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9, and _ can be displayed.
• Before playing a file, the CD player reads all file and group (or folder) information on the CD. “READING”
is displayed. Depending on the content of the CD, it may take some time to accomplish this reading.
• If the group does not have a group name, “ROOT” appears in the display.
• If the file does not have ID3 tag information, “- - - -” appears in the display.
