About MP3/ WMA

MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this unit is limited as follows:

• Sampling Frequency :32 - 48 (MP3/ WMA)

• Bit rate : 32 - 320 kbps (MP3), 40 - 320 kbps (WMA)

• CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660/JOLIET”

• If you record MP3/WMA files using the software which cannot create a FILE
SYSTEM, for example “Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files.
We recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO 9660
file system.

• Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < >”etc.

•Even if the total number of files on the disc has more than 1000, it will only be
shown up to 999.
