Output volume
The volume of the CD playback output signal can be
adjusted. This adjustment functions for both for analog
output (including headphone output) and digital output.
1 Setting is made using the PLAY VOLUME? option
on the VOL FUNC sub-menu of the CD menu.
The level can be set between –54 dB and +18 dB, or
“- - -” (– infinity) can be selected.
NOTE
Since volume adjustment is performed in the digital
domain, if the output level is excessive in the plus
direction, digital distortion will be generated.
MP3 and WAV file directory
playback
MP3 and WAV files recorded onto a CD are handled the
same way as files are handled in an ordinary PC, with
some MP3 and WAV files held within a directory. In
addition, several directories can be combined into one
directory. This results in multiple layers of directories and
files.
When the Directory playback mode is on, only those files
within a selected directory are available for playback.
When the mode is turned off, all MP3 and WAV files
stored on the disc are played regardless of the directory
structure.
Please note that Program playback and Repeat playback
only function within directories.
NOTE
Each MP3 or WAV file is handled as a track.
•
Directories which do not contain MP3 or WAV files
•
directly under them cannot be selected for playback.
For example, in the diagram below, under directory
A are directory B and directory C. If there are MP3 or
WAV files in both directory B and C, directory A cannot
be selected for playback, but directory B and C can be
selected for playback.
