Listening to MP3/WMA

This unit is an ID3 Tag compatible model. This unit supports the ID3 TAGs of the Version

2.4, 2.3, 1.1 and 1.0. In displaying, this unit gives priority to the Version 2.3 and 2.4 TAGs. After USB device inserted into USB slot of front panel, or disc is loaded, the play mode is automaticlly engaged.

What is MP3/WMA?

MP3 is an audio compression method and classiﬁed into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. WMA is an audio compression method developed by Microsoft Corporation. These audio compression methods have penetrated into PC users and become a standard format.

These features compress the original audio data to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high sound quality. This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.

Note:

• Some CDs recorded on CD-R/RW mode may not be usable.

Displaying MP3/WMA TAG titles

Tag information such as title, artist and album title can be displayed for MP3/WMA ﬁle containing Tag information.

Precautions when creating an MP3 disc

• File extensions

1. Always add a ﬁle extension “.MP3” or “.mp3” to an MP3 ﬁle, and “.WMA” or “.wma” to a WMA ﬁle by using single byte letters. If you add a ﬁle extension other than speciﬁed or forget to add these ﬁle extension, the ﬁle cannot be played. In addition, if you use upper case and lower case letters (capital and small letters) mixedly for ﬁle extensions, normal play may not be possible.

2. Files other than MP3/WMA data cannot be played. Playing ﬁles with a format not supported will be skipped, and the scan, random and repeat playback mode may be canceled.

• File and Disc Not Supported

Files and discs with following extensions are not supported: *.AAC, *.DLF, *.M3U, *.PLS, MP3 PRO ﬁles, ﬁles with DRM, open session discs.

• Logical format (File system)

1. When writing an MP3/WMA ﬁle on a disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1 or level 2 (without including expansion format)” as the writing software format. Normal playback may not be possible if the disc is recorded on another format.

2. The folder name and ﬁle name can be displayed as the title during MP3/WMA play but the title must be within 31 single byte alphabetical letters and numerals for the folder name and ﬁle name (including an extension). Entering more letters or numerals than speciﬁed may cause an incorrect display.

VZ309

DVD Video Player Operations

• Entering File and Folder Names Names using the code list characters are the only ﬁle names and folder names that can be entered and displayed. Using any other character will cause the ﬁle and folder names to be displayed incorrectly.

• Electronic Shock Protection

10 seconds for CD-DA (CDA) 45 seconds for MP3 recorded at 44.1 kHz, 128kbps 90 seconds for WMA recorded at 44.1 kHz, 128kbps

• Folder structure

1. A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical levels will conﬂict with the ISO9660 and playback will be impossible.

• Number of ﬁles or folders

1. The maximum allowable number of folders is 255 (including root directory); the maximum allowable number of ﬁles is 512 (max. 255 per folder). This represents the maximum number of tracks that can be played back.

2. Tracks are played in the order that they were recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not always be played in the order displayed on the PC).

• Some noise may occur depending on the type of encoder software used while recording.

• In case of a track recorded at VBR (variable bit rate), the display for the play time of the track may be slightly different from the actual play time. Also, the recommended value of VBR ranges from 32 kbps to 320 kbps.

• After disc selection, the play mode is automatically engaged.

English

Playing MP3 folders

When selected for play, ﬁles and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order in which they were written to the media. 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 assigning ﬁle names beginning with play sequence numbers such as “01” to “99”. For example, a medium with the following folder/ ﬁle hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select. See the diagram below.

VZ309

The player will only recognize three folder levels and does not display folders containing other folders. In the example above, the unit will display folders 3, 4, 6, and 8, but not 2 and 7 since they do not contain others.
