MP3 disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:
• Sampling frequency: within 8 - 48 kHz (MP3)
• Bit rate: within 8 - 320kbps (MP3)
• The player cannot read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.
• CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660

• File names should have a maximum of 8 letters and must incorporate an .mp3 extension.
• They should not contain special letters such as / ? * : “ < > l etc.
• The total number of files on the disc should be about
600.
This DVD player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards.There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback. A Multi-session recording is not ensured.
Customers should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Sample Freq. (Frequency)
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz.When this choice is made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 96 kHz.When this choice is made, this unit passes each type of signal through without any further processing.
Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify its capabilities.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
