Notes on playing MP3

KDV-S210P can play MP3 (MPEG1, 2 Audio Layer 3).
Note, however, that the MP3 recording media and
formats acceptable are limited. When writing MP3,
pay attention to the following restrictions.

Acceptable media

The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit
are CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW.
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format
to prevent malfunction.

Acceptable medium formats

The following formats are available for the media
used in this unit. The maximum number of
characters used for file and folder name including
the delimiter (".") and three-character extension are
indicated in parentheses.

• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters; Up to 11
characters are displayed)

• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters; Up to 11
characters are displayed)

• Joliet (64 character; Up to 11 characters are

displayed)

• Romeo (128 character; Up to 11 characters are

displayed)

• Long file name (200 characters; Up to 11

characters are displayed)

• Maximum number of characters for folder name:

128 (Up to 11 characters are displayed)

For a list of available characters, see the instruction
manual of the writing software and the section
Entering file and folder names below.
The media reproducible on this unit has the
following limitations:

• Maximum number of directory levels: 8

• Maximum number of files per folder: 185

• Maximum number of folders: 127

MP3 written in the formats other than the above
may not be successfully played and their file names
or folder names are not properly displayed.

Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD
writer

Do the following setting when compressing audio
data in MP3 data with the MP3 encoder.

• Transfer bit rate: 56 – 320 kbps

• Sampling frequency

: 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz

Entering file and folder names

The code list characters are the only file names and
folder names that can be entered and displayed.
If you use any other character for entry, the file and
folder names are not displayed correctly. They may
neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD
writer used.
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3
which have the MP3 extension (.MP3).

• A file with a name entered with characters not on the
code list may not play correctly.

Writing files into a medium

When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded,
the unit checks all the data on the medium. If the
medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3 files,
therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts
playing MP3.
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to
the next MP3 file or a File Search or Folder Search
may not be performed smoothly.

Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to
damage the speakers.

• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3
file with the MP3 extension.
The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 data as long as
they have the MP3 extension.

• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.

MP3 playing order

When selected for play or Skip, files and folders are
accessed in the order in which they were written by
the CD writer.
Because of this, 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 are to be played by
writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with
their file names beginning with play sequence
numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your
CD writer.

About the remote

Loading the battery

1. Use two "AAA"-size batteries.
Remove the cover as illustrated.

2. Insert the batteries with the + and - poles aligned
