Notes

• Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording device, it may take a while for playback to start. It is also possible playback may not start at all.

• On a disc that has MP3 files, do not save files in other formats and do not make unnecessary folders.

• Be sure to add the file extension “mp3” to the file name. However, if you add the extension “mp3” to a file other than an MP3 file, the player will not be able to recognize the file properly.

• To compress a source in an MP3 file, we recommend setting the compression parameters to “44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and “Constant Bit Rate.”

• To record up to the maximum capacity, set the writing software to “halting of writing.”
