0-13 MP3 Files That Can Be Played Back with This Equipment

Compressing MP3 files

Please set up the transfer bit rate setting for the compression software when compressing MP3 files as follows:

MP3 file

128kbps recommended (32 kbps-320 kbps)

÷ This unit is compatible with 32kHz, 44.1kHz

(recommended) and 48 kHz samplimg frequencies.

Categorizing folders

As MP3 files are compressed into high-quality sound files at an extremely high rate of compression, it is possible to record several times more tracks than audio CDs onto a single medium. It is therefore convenient to split the tracks into different folders by genre, artist or album for retrieval and repeat playback purposes.

÷ A maximum of 999 folders or a maximum of 999

files can be stored on a single media.

÷ There are cases where it is not possible to save

folders in the desired sequence depending on the software being used.

Additional information

Usable formats : ISO9660 level 1 (excluding expanded formats)

Text display

Both file and folder names are displayed in up 8 uppercase alphanumeric characters.

Time display

With a MP3 files, only the "Single Time" information is displayed.

ID3-TAG infomation

This unit is not compatible with this function.

“Digital” output from MP3 files

This unit does not output the “Digital” signal when it plays back an MP3 files.

Restriction by session

This unit can play back only the closed sessions.

With CD-DA

With a multi-session disc, this unit plays back the first session only.

With MP3 files

Note on the multi-session disc and CD-DA (music data)

÷ This unit is compatible with multi-session discs.

÷ The music CD data (CD-DA data) can be played

only when its first session is composed of music CD data (CD-DA data). The second and later sessions are not played back.

Never add the MP3 extension logs to any files other than MP3 files. If the MP3 extension logs are added to any files other than MP3 files, the equipment will assume that they can be played back, and this will produce loud noises in the speakers, resulting in damage of adverse effects.

Check to ascertain that MP3 files can be played back correctly on the personal computer in use prior to saving them onto the media. Check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally.

÷ It is not possible to confirm that files can be played

back correctly while they are being saved onto the media.

Ensure that the session is closed or finalized when data has been written on media. There are cases where media on which the session has not be closed or finalized will not be played back correctly with this equipment.

÷ There are cases were the folder names and file

names will not be displayed correctly depending on the software used to save them.

÷ There are cases where playback is not possible

when MP3 files (CD-ROM) and music CD information (CD-DA) are saved on the same media.

÷ When a disc contains a mixture of different formats

such as the CD-DA and MP3, the data in the CDDA format will be played in priority.

However, when "the number of sessions is '2'" and "its second session is composed of music CD data (CD-DA data)", the music CD data (CD-DA) can be played back.

If the TV or VCR has SCART connectors, connect the TV SCART or VCR SCART connector of this unit to the TV or VCR using SCART cables.

¶ The audio and video signals can be output using a single cable. The signal output

from the TV SCART connector can be switched between composite video, S

Video and RGB. (The VCR SCART connector always outputs composite video signals so its output signals cannot be selected.)

¶ When the TV is connected through a VCR using SCART connection, the picture

displayed on the TV may be disturbed due to the copy protect function.

¶ When using only the TV and VCR which are both connected with the player

using the SCART connection, the signal from the VCR cannot be sent to the TV if the player is switched off. (In this case, set the player to the power standby mode.)

DTS disclaimer clause

When playing DTS-encoded (CDs, LDs, DVDs), excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo outputs. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the analog stereo outputs of the DVD player is connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the DVD player.

For DV-5900M

DTS disclaimer clause

DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.

This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround™ decoder.

The folder is the storage unit at the highest level in the disc. Sometimes a single folder contains more than one file, or sometimes files are recorded directly in the disc in place of being included in a folder. Some discs also have a hierarchical structure in which a folder includes sub-folders. Note that the file numbers are not assigned on a per-folder basis but they are assigned consecutively for all the files in the whole disc.
