MP3 / WMA Overview
This unit can play back files recorded in MP3 or WMA format
on CD-ROM, CD-R (recordable) or CD-RW (rewritable) discs.
There are some limitations on the files and media that can be
used, so before recording files on a disc please carefully read
the following information.
ISO9660 Format
The unit can play back data recorded in ISO9660 format.
ISO9660 is an international standard for representative CDROM file formats determined by ISO (International Standard
Organization).
The media formats that can be used by the unit include Level
1, Level 2 and the extension format known as Joliet.
What are MP3 and WMA?
• An MP3 file stores audio data compressed using the “MPEG
1 / 2 audio layer-3” file format. We call files that have the
“.mp3” extension “MP3 files”. Likewise for WMA files. WMA
is an abbreviation for Windows Media Audio. WMA files have
the extension “.wma” and are compatible with MP3 files.
• The unit cannot read files that have a file extension different from “.mp3” or “.wma”.
• The unit cannot read files without an extension even if the
files are MP3 or WMA files.
Furthermore even if a file has an “.mp3” or “.wma” extension, the unit cannot read the file if is not recorded with the
MP3 or WMA data format.
Playback Limitations
• The number of tracks and number of albums (folder) that
can be played back from a disc are as follows.
Tracks: About 250 depending on file contents.
Albums(folder) :
The unit also recognizes up to eight album(folder) levels.
• The unit can playback MP3 files with compression bit rates
from 32kbps~320kbps. However for the best balance of file
space and sound quality we recommend 128kbps. When
files compressed at less than 128kbps are played back, the
sound may have breaks in it.
A maximum of 250 depending on the number of tracks.
In the case of WMA files, play back is possible only for files
encoded with a compression bit rate of at least 64kbps and
a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz.
• Please note that the unit cannot play files encoded using
the WMA copyright protection function.
• When playing WMA files, song, album and artist tags cannot be displayed.
• The unit allows the playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs
containing a mixture of music CD data (CD-DA), MP3 and
WMA files. However playback of both types of data is possible only for Mixed Mode CDs/CD Extra created using Disc
at Once Method. (See below.)
• The unit also supports files compressed using VBR (variable bit rate).
• The unit does not always play back MP3 and WMA files in
the order in which they were recorded.
• When many folders are recorded on a disc, the time required
to retrieve information from the disc becomes longer.
•
We recommend that multi-session discs be limited to 10 sessions.
The packet write method is not supported.
The following three methods are used to record data (files)
on a disc. As the unit does not support the “Packet Write”
method please be aware of this.
The unit supports discs recorded with the “Disc at Once” and
“Track at Once” methods.
Packet Write Method
With this method, tracks are sub-divided into packets depending on availability of space on the disc. Additional writing of
data is possible.
Display Information Limitations
• The unit can display folder and file names, ID3 Tags of length
up to 64 characters including the extension. However, certain special symbols may not display correctly.
• During playback of MP3 and WMA files, there may be occasions when the elapsed playback time is not correctly displayed.
Important Points
• Please take care not to append the extensions for MP3 and
WMA files onto files of any other type. When a disc containing such files is played, the files will be incorrectly recognized and played back. This will result in extremely loud noise
that may damage the speakers.
• Depending on the state of the disc or recorder or writing
software used to write on the disc, there may be cases when
the disc cannot be correctly played back. In such cases
please refer to the user manual for the tools you are using.
• When using a Macintosh personal computer, the file extension will not be added, so please add the extension “.mp3”
to the end of the file name.
• This unit does not support WAVE files.
• This unit does not support m3u playlists.
• The unit does not support “Emphasis”. (See “Glossary” on
page 15.)
Disc at Once Method
With this method, all the data to be written is prepared in advance and then recorded on the disc in one go. Additional
writing of data is not possible.
Track at Once Method
With this method, data is written in file (track) units. Additional writing of data is possible.

When Creating Discs
Files will not always be played back in the order in which they
were recorded. When you want to ensure that files will be
played back in the order they were recorded, please write
onto the disc paying attention to the points below.
• Use writing software that can write MP3/WMA files on the
disc in the order of the file (track) names. Please check with
the software developers concerning the behavior and operation of the writing software.
• Prefix numbers to the names of folders (albums) and files
(tracks) to arrange them in order. Shown below is a good
example (2 or three digits correctly entered.) and a bad example (if the number of digits is not the same for all names,
the names will not be ordered correctly.)
With some CD-R and CD-RW media, data may not be properly written depending on their manufacturing quality. In this
case, data may not also be reproduced correctly. We recommend the media manufactured by the following companies:
CD-R Media
TDK USA Corp., Taiyo Yuden (U.S.A.), Inc., Ricoh Corporation, Eastman Kodak Company, Maxell Corporation of
America, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Fuji Photo Film
U.S.A., Inc., Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., Sony Corporation of
America, Philips Electronics North America Corporation,
Imation Corp.
CD-RW Media
TDK USA Corp., Ricoh Corporation, Mitsubishi Chemical
Corporation
Several types of CD-R and CD-RW media are available, such
as 2X and 1X-4X. Please read the instruction manuals of the
drive and the recording software you are using to select the
right media.

Glossary
Bit rate
The bit rate expresses the amount of information transferred
per second as a number of bits. The greater the quantity of
information, the higher the bit rate.
The unit is “bits/second”. “kbps” indicates “kilo (1,000) bits/
second”.
Emphasis
The software used for recording has an “emphasis” capability, which when turned on writes emphasis attributes on to
the audio track. When the emphasis bit is set the sound has a
smooth characteristic. However, at the current time almost all
CD players lack support for this function. It is no problem to
play back an audio track recorded with emphasis on with a
player not supporting emphasis.
Extension
In Windows and DOS personal computers, several characters are placed at the end of each file name to indicate the
type of file.
The extension consists of a period followed by three alphanumeric characters. The extension differs depending on file type.
The extension for MP3 files is “.mp3”.
ID3 Tags
This is a data format that allows a file name, title and artist
name etc. to be added to MP3 files.
This unit supports SONG ALBUM and ARTIST for Versions
1.0/1.1/2.2 and 2.3.
ID3 Tags are not supported for WMA files.
The term multisession refers to the method of recording the
data for two or more sessions on a single disc. We recommend that this unit be used for up to 10 sessions.
Structure of Folder Hierarchy
To keep data within a computer organized, related files may
be put into a folder, but in addition to files, a folder may also
have other folders put into it. Folder B may be put into folder
A, and folder C may be put into folder B so as to create a
“hierarchical structure”. The number of hierarchical levels that
can be recognized differs depending on the computer operating system. ISO9660 specifies up to 8 levels.
VBR (Variable Bit Rate)
MP3 files are normally encoded with a fixed bit rate (eg
128kbps etc.), however VBR encoding during which the bit
rate is varied while encoding is also possible. That is to say,
during periods of violent variation of sound the bit rate is increased and during soundless periods the bit rate is decreased. Encoding in this way allows file size to be curbed
while maintaining high sound quality. However , some players
do not support VBR, so caution is required when using VBR.
Types of CD
• Audio CD(CD-DA)
This is the format used for audio CDs that can be played on
ordinary audio CD players. It is also called CD-DA (Compact Disc Digital Audio).
• ISO9660 Format CD-ROM
ISO9660 is a CD-ROM standard file system determined by
ISO (International Organization for Standardization). CDROMs with this format can be played by Windows and
Macintosh operating systems and also by UNIX operating
systems.
• HFS Format CD-ROM
This is a CD-ROM conforming to the HFS (Hierarchical File
System) used by Macintosh Mac OS.
• Hybrid CD-ROM
This is a CD-ROM containing a mixture of ISO9660 format
files and HFS format files.
• Mixed Mode CD
This is a CD-ROM containing both data files and audio files
on the one disc.
Mixed Mode CD is a standard developed for personal computer use so the audio files on the CD cannot be played
with CD players that do not support Mixed Mode CD.
• CD Extra (Enhanced CD)
This differs from Mixed Mode CD in that the audio files are
followed on the disc by data files. CD Extra was standardized by Sony and Philips to allow the audio files to be played
with an audio CD player and the data files to be read by a
personal computer.
ENGLISH
Multi-Session
When data is written on a CD-R disc, the data written from
the time writing starts until the time writing finishes is regarded
as a bundle called a session. The Track at Once Method allows data to be added to a single disc one track at a time,
with each recording of a track being a single session.
• Be sure to detach the front panel before you start installing the unit.
• Choose the mounting location carefully so that the unit will
