• It is not possible to check folders that do not
include WMA files. (These folders will be
skipped without displaying the folder num-
ber.)
• WMA files in up to 8 tiers of folders can be
played back. However, there is a delay in the
start of playback on discs with numerous
tiers. For this reason we recommend creating
discs with no more than 2 tiers.

one disc.
