MP3 sessions are played back without sound.
• If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is
recognized as an MP3 disc, and CD-DA
sessions are played back without sound.

determined by the tree structure of files
produced by analyzing of the disc.
• A disc with a mixed CD format will be
recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.
