Notes on mp3/WMA Disc:

• Use .mp3 as the extension when converting audio files into mp3 for saving onto CD-R(W) or CD-ROM, e.g. Abc08.mp3. Do not use any other extension e.g. .doc, .pdf.

• Do not use the .mp3 extension for other text or non-audio data files as this may result in serious malfunction and harmful noise interference.

• For better quality in mp3/WMA disc playback, the CD quality should be recorded 128kbps or above.

• Disc data size > 650MB is not recommended.

• Total files and folders in the disc should not exceed 250, it also depends on the length of the file/folder names.

• For mixed mode discs, only one mode will be selected for playback depending on the recording format.

• To ensure good performance, wait until the disc changer completely reads the disc before proceeding.

• mp3 files in CD ROM EXTRA format disc cannot be recognized.
