About MP3 files
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard
technology and fo r m at for compressing a sound
sequence. The file is compressed to about 1/10 of
its original size. Sounds outside the ran ge of
human hearing ar e compressed while t he sounds
we can hear are not compressed.
Notes on discs
You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs,
CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.
The disc must be in the ISO 9660*
level 2 format, or Joliet or Rom eo in the
expansion format.
You can use a disc recorded in Multi Session*
1
ISO 9660 Format
*
The most common international standard for
the logical format of files and folders on a
CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. In
Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format
(no more than 8 ch ar acters in the name, no
more than 3 characters in the extension
“.MP3”) and in capital letters. Folder names
can be no longer than 8 characters. There can
be no more than 8 nested folder levels. Level
2 specifications allow file n a m es up to 31
character s long.
Each folder can have up to 8 trees.
For Joliet or Romeo in th e expansion format,

Multi Session
This is a recording method that enables
adding of data using the Track-At-Once
method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD
control area called the Lead-in and end at an
area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a
CD having multiple sessions, with each
segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded
as a single session.
CD-Extra: The format which records audio
(audio CD data) as tracks on session 1, and
records data as tra cks on session 2.
Mixed CD: In this format, data is recorded as
track 1, and audio (audio CD data) is recorded
as track 2.

Notes
• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2,
folder names or file names may not be displayed
correctly.
• When naming, be sure to add the file extension
“.MP3” to the file name.
• If you put the extension “.MP3” to a file other than
MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and
will generate random noise that could damage your
speakers.
• The following discs take a longer time to start
playback.
– a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.
– a disc to which data can be added.
Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in
Multi Session

Non-audio CD data/MP3 file information (track
number, time, etc.) is displayed with no sound.
• When the first track of the first session is not audio
CD data:
– If an MP3 file is in the disc, only MP3 file(s) play
back and other data is skipped (Audio CD data is
not recognized).
– If no MP3 file is in the disc, “Disc NO Music” is
displayed and nothing is played back (Audio CD
data is not recognized).
