What is an ATRAC CD?
An ATRAC CD is a CD-R/RW on which audio data compressed in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3
format has been recorded. About 30 audio CDs can be recorded on a CD-R/RW.* You can also
record MP3 files by converting the files to the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format.
* When total playing time of one CD (album) is estimated at 60 minutes and you are recording on a 700 MB
CD-R/RW at 48 kbps in ATRAC3plus format.
Step 3

Music sources playable on this CD player
You can play the following 3 music sources on this CD player:
• Audio CDs
•ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format files
• MP3 files
Usable disc formats
You can use ISO 9660 Level 1/2 and Joliet extension format discs only.
ATRAC3plus and ATRAC3
“ATRAC3plus,” which stands for “Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3plus” is audio
compression technology, developed from the ATRAC3 format. Though the ATRAC3plus format
can compress music content to about 1/20 of its original size, you can still enjoy high quality
sound. The available transfer bit rates are 64 kbps and 48 kbps.
“ATRAC3,” which stands for “Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3” is audio compression
technology that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates. The
ATRAC3 format can compress music content to about 1/10 of their original size, which
contributes to reduction of the media volume. The available transfer bit rates are 132 kbps,
105 kbps and 66 kbps.
The usable number of groups and files
• Maximum number of groups: 255
• Maximum number of files: 999
For details, refer to the supplied booklet “SonicStage Simple Burner.”
Note on saving files on the media
Do not save files in other formats or unnecessary groups on a disc that has ATRAC3plus/
ATRAC3 files.
MP3 files
MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer3, a standard for audio files compression supported
by the Motion Picture Experts Group, an ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
working group, enables compression of audio files to about 1/10 of the data size of a standard
compact disc. Since the MP3 encoding algorithm is public, there are various encoders/decoders
that are compliant with this standard, including freeware that is available for no charge. Thus, the
MP3 standard is widely used in the computer field.
6-GB
The major specifications of the acceptable disc format are:
• Maximum directory levels: 8
• Acceptable characters for a file/folder name:
A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9, _ (underscore)
Notes
• When naming files, be sure to add the file extension “mp3” to the file name.
• 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.
• The file name does not correspond to the ID3 tag.
The usable number of groups and files
• Maximum number of groups: 100
• Maximum number of files: 400
Settings for compression and writing software
• This CD player supports MP3 files with the following specifications: transfer bit rate: 16 - 320
kbps and sampling frequencies: 32/44.1/ 48 kHz. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) is also supported.
To compress a source for an MP3 file, we recommend setting the transfer bit rate of the
compression software to “44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and “Constant Bit Rate.”
•To record up to the maximum capacity, set to “halting of writing.”
•To record at one time up to the maximum capacity on media that has nothing recorded on it,
set to “Disc at Once.”
Notes on saving files on the media
• Do not save files in other formats or unnecessary folders on a disc that has MP3 files.
• When a disc is inserted, the CD player reads all the information of folders and files on that
disc. If there are many folders on the disc, it may take a long time for play to begin or for the
next file to start playback.

Difference between ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 and
MP3
Groups and folders
The ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format has a very simple structure. It consists of “files” and
“groups.” A “file” is equivalent to a “track” of an audio CD. A “group” is a bundle of files and is
equivalent to an “album.” A “group” has no directory-type structure (a new group cannot be
made within an existing group). This CD player is designed to recognize an MP3 file folder as a
“group” so that it can play CD-Rs/RWs recorded in both the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format and
those recorded in the MP3 format with the same operation.
Displaying the track name, etc.
When playing a CD having ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 files or MP3 files on this CD player, track
names, artist names and album names are displayed. This CD player conforms to Version 1.1/2.2/
2.3 of the ID3 tag format*.
*ID3 tag is a format for adding certain information (track name, album name, artist name, etc.) to MP3 files.
Notes
• This CD player cannot record music content on recordable media, such as CD-Rs/RWs.
• CD-Rs/RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format cannot be played on your computer.
• Playback capability may vary depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording device.
