MP3/WMA Player
What is MP3/WMA?
MP3* (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows MediaTM
Audio) are the compression formats of digital audio.
The former is developed by MPEG (Motion Picture
Experts Group), and the latter is developed by Microsoft
Corporation. Using these compression formats, you
can record the contents of about 10 music CDs on a
single CD media (This figures refer to data recorded on
a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps
and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).
* MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from
Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson.
Note: MP3/WMA encoding and writing software is not
supplied with this unit.
Points to Remember When Making MP3/WMA Files
Common
• High bit rate and high sampling frequency are
recommended for high quality sounds.
• Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended
because playing time is not displayed properly and
sound may be skipped.
• The playback sound quality differs depending on
the encoding circumstances. For details, refer to
the instructions of your own encoding software and
writing software.
MP3
• It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or
more” and “fixed”.
WMA
Notes on MP3/WMA
• It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps or
more” and “fixed”.
• Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA file
to enable this unit to play back.

• Name files and folders in accordance with the standard
of each file system. Refer to the instructions of writing
software for details.
• ASCII character set and special characters in each
language can be displayed.
• Some Cyrillic characters in the Unicode can be
displayed.
ASCII character set
A to Z, a to z, digits 0 to 9, and the following symbols:

Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö ò ó ô õ ö
Ù Ú Û Ü ù ú û ü
Notes:
• With some software in which MP3/WMA format files
have been encoded, the character information may not
be displayed properly.
• Undisplayable characters and symbols will be
converted into an asterisk ( ).
• It is recommended that the length of the file name is
less than 8 (excluding the file extension).
Caution
Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” file
name extension to a file that is not in
the MP3/WMA format. This may not only
produce noise from the speaker damage,
but also damage your hearing.

• You are recommended to minimize the chances of
making a disc that contains both CD-DA files and
MP3/WMA files.
•
If CD-DA files are on the same disc as MP3 or WMA
files, the songs may not play in the intended order,
or some songs may not play at all.
•
When storing MP3 data and WMA data on the same
disc, use different folders for each data.
• Do not record files other than MP3/WMA files and
unnecessary folder on a disc.
• The name of an MP3/WMA file should be added by
rules as shown in the following descriptions and also
comply with the rules of each file system.
• The file extension “.mp3” or “.wma” should be
assigned to each file depending on the file format.

Notes on MP3/WMA (continued)
Notes:
• You can shorten the duration between data read and
playback by decreasing the quantity of files or folders,
or the depth of the hierarchy.
• This unit counts the number of folders irrespective of
the presence or absence of an MP3/WMA file.
• If the selected folder does not contain any MP3/WMA
files, the nearest MP3/WMA files in the order of
playback will be played.
• Playback order may be different from other MP3/WMA
players even if the same disc is used.
