• The CBX-300 supports CD-R and CD-RW discs.
However, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not
work properly for any of the following reasons: disc
burner characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is
damaged or dirty. See the manual supplied with your
disc burner for more information. Condensation or dirt
on the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.

Discs Made on Personal Computers

compatible format, may not work properly in the
CBX-300 because of incorrect settings in the disc burn-
ing software. Check the manuals supplied with your disc
burning software for additional compatibility informa-
tion.
MP3/WMA Compatibility
• The CBX-300 can play MP3 and WMA files recorded
on CD-R and CD-RW discs.
• Discs must be in ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2, Romeo
or Joliet compliant. Supported formats: Mode 1, Mode
2 Form 1.
• Multisession discs are supported, however, some mul-
tisession discs may take a long time to load and some
may not load at all. When burning CDs, we recom-
mend that you use a single-session (disc-at-once) and
select "Disc Close."
• You can determine the order in which the CBX-300
plays the MP3/WMA files in a folder by prefixing file
names with a 3-digit number. For example,
001.Track.mp3, 002.Track.mp3, and so on.
• Disc, file, and folder names may contain up to 30 char-
acters. MP3/WMA file and folder names (excluding
the extension) are shown on the display.
• The CBX-300 supports up to 499 MP3/WMA files
and folders. Files and folders in excess of this cannot
be played. Note that if the file and folder structure is
very complicated, the CBX-300 may not be able to
read or play all of the MP3/WMA files on the disc.
• MP3/WMA files without the proper extension will not
be recognized. To prevent noise and malfunction, do
not use these extensions for other types of files.

kHz and a bit-rate of between 8 kbps and 320 kbps.
