PLAYING mP3/WmA FILES
mP3 Overview
• MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and refers to an audio compression technology standard.
• This product allows playback of MP3 files on CD-R or CD-RW discs.
• The unit can read MP3 files written in the format compliant with ISO 9660. However it does not sup-
UK
port the MP3 data written by the method of packet write.
• The unit can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than ".mp3".
• If you play a non-MP3 file that has the ".mp3" extension, you may hear some noise.
• In this manual, we refer to what are called "MP3 file" and "folder" in PC terminology as "Track" and
"Album", respectively.
• Maximum number of directory level is 8, including the root directory. Maximum number of files and
folders per disc is 256.
• The unit may not play tracks in the order of track numbers.
• The unit plays only the audio tracks if a disc contains both audio tracks and MP3 files.
• When playing a disc of 8kbps or VBR*, the elapsed playing time in the display window will not be cor-
rect and also the intro play may not function properly.
*VBR: Variable Bit Rate.
Note on creating your own CD-Rs or CD-RWs containing mP3 files
• To enjoy high quality sound, we recommend converting to MP3 files with a sampling frequency of 44.1
kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps.
• DO NOT store more than 256 MP3 files per disc.
• For ISO 9660-compliant format, the maximum allowable depth of nested folders is 8, including the
root directory(folder).
• When CD-R disc is used, playback is possible only for discs which have been finalised.
• Make sure that when MP3 CD-R is burned that it is formatted as a data disc and NOT as an audio disc.
• You should not write non-MP3 files or unneeded folders along with MP3 files on the CD-R otherwise it
takes a long time until the unit will start to play MP3 files.
• With some CD-R media, data may not be properly written depending on their manufacturing quality. In
this case, data may not be reproduced correctly. High quality CD-R disc is recommended.
• Up to 16 characters are displayed for the name of an Album or a Track. ID3 TAG version 1.x is required.
• Note that the unit may not play tracks in the order that you wrote them to the disc.
