This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.

conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.
Notes
•This CD player cannot record music content on recordable media, such as CD-Rs/RWs.
• CD-Rs/RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format cannot be played on your computer.

ATRAC3plus and ATRAC3
“ATRAC3plus,” which stands for “Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3plus” is audio
compression technology, developed from the ATRAC3 format. Though the ATRAC3plus format
can compress music content to about 1/20 of its original size at 64 kbps, you can still enjoy high
quality sound. The available transfer bit rates are 256 kbps, 64 kbps and 48 kbps.
“ATRAC3,” which stands for “Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3” is audio compression
technology that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates. The
ATRAC3 format can compress music content to about 1/10 of their original size, which
contributes to reduction of the media volume. The available transfer bit rates are 132 kbps,
105 kbps and 66 kbps.
The usable number of groups and files
• Maximum number of groups: 255
• Maximum number of files: 999
For details, refer to the supplied booklet “SonicStage.”
Note on saving files on the media
Do not save files in other formats (except MP3 files) and do not make unnecessary folders on a
disc that has ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 files.
MP3
MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer3, a standard for audio files compression supported
by the Motion Picture Experts Group, an ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
working group, enables compression of audio files to about 1/10 of the data size of a standard
compact disc.
Enjoy your ATRAC Portable CD Player!
The major specifications of the acceptable disc format are:
• Maximum directory levels: 8
• Acceptable characters: A - Z, a- z, 0 - 9, _ (underscore)
Notes
•When naming files, be sure to add the file extension “mp3” to the file name.
• If you add the extension “mp3” to a file other than an MP3 file, the player will not be able to recognize the
file properly.
(Continued)

Page 8
The usable number of groups and files
• Maximum number of groups: 255
• Maximum number of files: 999
Settings for compression and writing software
•This CD player is able to play MP3 files with the following specifications: Bit rate:
16 - 320 kbps, and sampling frequencies: 32/44.1/ 48 kHz. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) file can
also be played.
To compress a source for an MP3 file, we recommend setting the compression software to
“44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and “Constant Bit Rate.”
•To record up to the maximum capacity, set to “halting of writing.”
•To record at one time up to the maximum capacity on media that has nothing recorded on it,
set to “Disc at Once.”
Notes on saving files on the media
• Do not save files in other formats (except MP3/ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format files) or
unnecessary folders on a disc that has MP3 files.
•When a disc is inserted, the CD player reads all the information of folders and files on that
disc. If there are many folders on the disc, it may take a long time for play to begin or for the
next file to start playback.
The structure of ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 and MP3 files
The ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format has a very simple structure. It consists of “files” and
“groups. ” A “file” is equivalent to a “track” of an audio CD. A “group” is a bundle of files and is
equivalent to an “album.” A “group” has no directory-type structure (a new group cannot be
made within an existing group).
When referring to MP3 CDs, “file” is equivalent to a “track” and a “group” is equivalent to an
“album.” This CD player is designed to recognize an MP3 folder as a “group” so that it can play
CD-Rs/RWs in the same manner as it plays ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 files.

Notes
•A group that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
• If ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 files and MP3 files are recorded on the same CD, this CD player plays the
ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 files first.
•Depending on the method used to record MP3 files on the disc, the playing order may be different from the
one shown above.
