Unsupported File Format

Read the code

It is the file type, not the drive

This deck cannot read that file type. Your files are fine and your drive is fine. Older players do not decode everything a newer one does, and nothing you do to the drive changes that.

E-8304 and E-8305 both mean UNSUPPORTED FILE FORMAT: the player cannot decode the file. E-8302 is a different thing, CANNOT PLAY TRACK, which is one damaged file and not the file type. If you are seeing E-8302 on every track, go back and take the other answer.
