mp3/wmA operation
MP3 is a format for storing digital audio. An audio CD-quality song can be compressed into the
MP3 format with very little loss of quality, while taking up much less space. Insert a MP3 Disc into
the disc slot, label side up. Playback begins in MP3 mode when a disc is inserted correctly. The
unit plays the songs in the order they were burned on to the disc. The menu for playing audio MP3
music files is the same as previously described for CD discs.
media and file requirements
This player allows you to play back MP3 and WMA files recorded onto CD-R/RWs, DVD+R/RWs,
and DVD-R/RWs. For CD-RW discs, please make sure it is formatted using the full method and
not the quick method to prevent illegal disc operation.
For the greatest file capacity, Dual Layer DVD's can be used when burning music to a disc.
mp3 format compatibility
The file naming formats listed below are compatible with this unit:
•
ISO 9660 – file name: 12 characters, file extension: 3 characters
•
ISO 9660 – file name: 31 characters, file extension: 3 characters
•
Joliet – 64 characters
If the file or folder name does not conform to ISO 9660 file system standards, it may not be
displayed or played back correctly. Use the following settings when compressing audio data for
your MP3 disc:
•
Transfer Bit Rate: 128kbps
•
Sampling Frequency: 48kHz
When recording MP3 up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on
an empty disc up to maximum disc capacity, use the "Disc at once" setting.
mp3 playing order
When selected for play, files and folders are accessed in the order they were written by the CD
writer. As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in
which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA files are to
be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play
sequence numbers such as "01" to "99".
