What is MP3?

SBS function

The SBS function produces rich, deep bass tones for a more powerful overall sound.

ESP function

The ESP function ensures high resistance to shock or vibration so that the sound signal remains undisturbed ( up to 120 seconds for MP3 and 45 seconds for a CD).

FM Radio Reception

You can listen to FM radio using various functions such as the automatic tuning, preset FM stations, and etc.

Album function

(MP3-CD Only)

The Album function allows easy browsing and searching of your favorite tunes by album name, song title and artist.

Last Memory function (MP3-CD Only)

The Last Memory function allows you to listen to a song from the point you left off - handy for when you have to answer the phone or door.

MP3 means MPEG1 Layer 3, the global standard for audio signal compression technology. It uses digital compression technology to compress original sound data by up to 12 times without sound quality degradation.

File Compatibility

● The unit will play back files created in MP3 format (Mpeg1.Layer 3) with .mp3 as their

extension.

● Files created in MP2 format (Mpeg1.Layer2) with .mp2 as their extension can also be

played back.

How many MP3 files can a CD-R or CD-RW disc record?

● The maximum capacity of one CD-R or CD-RW disc is 680MB.

Normally, one MP3 file has a capacity of 4MB, therefore approximately 170 files can be recorded on a single disc.
