What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or
MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a
data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*).
That means,by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can
contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
*Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of
audio data will consume. The measuring unit used is Kbps
(1000 bits per second).
To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The
most popular bit rate for encoding (recording)is 128 Kbps.

Operations Using the On-Screen Display
It is recommended to turn on your TV when playing back an MP3
disc.
When the loaded MP3 disc is recognized, the following on-screen display appears on the TV screen.
(The contents of this on-screen display varies according to the disc —
the way MP3 tracks were recorded on the disc.)
MP3 File Compatibility
This system can only read MP3 files that are recorded in
the format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2.
The system can read or play MP3 files only with the
extension code —“.mp3 ”.
ID3*tags cannot be shown on the display.
*An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag ”
where its album name, performer, rack title, etc. are
recorded. There are two versions —ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1)and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag version 2).
CD-R/RW playback compatibility
Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in digital audio format. When recording your own
CD-R or CD-RW discs, make sure that the recording session is properly terminated, or they will not be playable.
(Depending on disc properties and recording quality,
some CD-R/RW may not be playable.)
CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R media and
consequently it will take a longer to read CD-R discs.
CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to be difficult
for the DVD player to read. If the recording speed for the
CD-RW disc is not predetermined, write it at low speed.

Precautions When Using Compact Discs
Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by
the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.
When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it
back in its case.
Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write
on the label.
Clean them with a special-purpose cloth.
Store your compact discs in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.
Always use compact discs marked .

Precautions When Using Audio Cassettes
Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taught.
To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the safety
tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette, where the
tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with adhesive tape.
When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its case.
Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where
they will not be exposed to high temperatures.
Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain
on the tape mechanism.
