MP3 Overview

MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and

refers to an audio compression technology
standard.

This product allows playback of MP3 les

on CD-R or CD-RW discs.

The unit can read MP3 les written in the

format compliant with ISO 9660. However
it does not support the MP3 data written by
the method of packet write.

The unit can not read an MP3 le that has

a le extension other than ".mp3".

If you play a non-MP3 file that has the

".mp3" e xtension, 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,

incl uding the roo t direct ory. Max imum

number of les 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

les.

PLAYING MP3/WMA FILES

When playing a disc of 8kbps or VBR*, the

elapsed playing time in the display window
will not be correct 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 les

To e n j oy h i gh q u a li t y so u n d, w e

recommend converting to MP3 files with
a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a

xed 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 C D-R di sc is used, playb ack is

possible only for discs which have been

nalized.

Make sure that when MP3 CD-R is burned

that it is formatted as a data disc and NOT
as an audio disc.

You shoul d not write non- MP3 files or

unneeded folders along with MP3 les on

the CD-R otherwise it takes a long time
until the unit starts

to play MP3 les.

With some CD-R media, data m ay not

be properly written depending on t heir
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.
