SRS and SQ that provide users with simple adjustment of sound quality are described on this page. Audio Setting (a page 28) allows users to adjust each speaker and the optional subwoofer in more detail (regarding BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, FADER, SUB.W, LPF, HPF, REAR).

SRS WOW™ is 3-D sound technology based on the HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) theory. Unlike conventional audio systems, “natural 3-D sound field”, “rich bass”, and “crisp and clear sound” can be obtained at the same time in a wide area in front of speakers.

Holding down [VOL] (SRS WOW) for 2 sec. or more toggles SRS WOW on and off.

MP3/WMA/AAC Player (continued)

Each of MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3), WMA (Windows Media™ Audio), and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a format for compressed audio file. These formats allow users to save all the files contained in approximately 10 pieces of existing CDs on one piece of CD-R/RW. Note: Each of encoding software is not included with this unit.

Setting at file making

Common

¡ High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recom-

mended 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 user manual of your own encoding software and writing software.

Be sure to put an extension compatible with the format.

MP3

¡ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or

more” and “fixed”.

Compression formats

Cautions as to compressed audio files

* WMA 9 Professional/LossLess/Voice are not supported.

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.

AAC

¡ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or

more” and “Stereo”.

¡ Files with the extension of “.m4a” encoded using

iTunes version 6 are playable on this unit. Some of the files using other encoders are not playable.

¡ Files encoded using Apple Lossless Encoder are not

playable.

¡ Files with copyright protection are not playable.

¡ Do not save an audio file (CD-DA file) and a com-

¡ If compressed audio files formatted with two or

more types are saved on the same disc, each format shall have a different folder.

¡ Do not write files other than compressed audio files. ¡ Playability may depend on the combination of writing

software and disc writer to be used.

¡ This unit does not support the play list function. ¡ Write files in a disc-at-once manner unless otherwise

needed.

¡ You can shorten the duration between data read and

playback by decreasing the quantity of files or folders, or the depth of the hierarchy.
