Playing MP3 Recordings

The DVD Player can play MP3 format recordings on CD­ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.
Before playing MP3 recordings, read the following notes.

– The limitation of indications

¶ Up to 8 characters are displayed for the name of a track.
¶ Characters other than uppercase letters (“A” to “Z”),

numericals (“0” to “9”) and underscore (“_”) may not be
displayed, or may be displayed in different characters.

¶ The elapsed playing time on the display may not be correct

when playing MP3 files.

Tips on recording MP3

To enjoy high quality sound, convert to MP3 files with a
sampling frequency of 44.1kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128
kbps.

To play MP3 files in the order that you recorded
them

1 Writing software that is capable of recording MP3 files in

numerical and alphabetical order is required.

2 Include a two or three digit number at the beginning of

each file name. (e.g. “01,” “02,” ... or “001,” “002,” ...)

3 It’s recommended that you use only the root folder (do not

create a child folder under the root folder).

Glossary

Extension:

An extension is the last three characters that divide a file
name by a period. The extension shows the attribution of
the file or the software in which the file was created.

Session:

A session is one section on a disc between the beginning of
data and the end of written data.
A multi-session disc has more than two sessions.

Notes on MP3 recordings

– About MP3

¶ An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1, the

audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the
“.mp3” file extension “MP3 files.”

¶ The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension

other than “.mp3.”

¶ Noises may be heard if you play a non-MP3 file that has the

“.mp3” extension.
