• You are recommended to minimize the chances of

making a disc that contains both CD-DA ﬁ les and MP3/WMA ﬁ les.

• If CD-DA ﬁ les are on the same disc as MP3 or WMA

ﬁ les, 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 ﬁ les other than MP3/WMA ﬁ les and unnecessary folder on a disc.

• The name of an MP3/WMA ﬁ le should be added by rules as shown in the following descriptions and also comply with the rules of each ﬁ le system.

• The ﬁ le extension “.mp3” or “.wma” should be assigned to each ﬁ le depending on the ﬁ le format.

• You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA ﬁ les or displaying the information of MP3/WMA ﬁ les recorded with certain writing software or CD recorders.

Notes on MP3/WMA (continued)

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 ﬁ gures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a ﬁ xed 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 “ﬁ xed”.

WMA

• It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps or more” and “ﬁ xed”.

• Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA ﬁ le to enable this unit to play back.

• Undisplayable characters and symbols will be converted into an asterisk (

• It is recommended that the length of the ﬁ le name is less than 8 (excluding the ﬁ le extension).

Caution

Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” ﬁ le name extension to a ﬁ le that is not in the MP3/WMA format. This may not only produce noise from the speaker damage, but also damage your hearing.
