MP3 Recommendations

• Use .mp3 as the extension when converting
audio files into MP3 for saving onto CD-R(W) or
CD-ROM, e.g. Rocky08.mp3. Do not use any other
extension e.g. .doc, .pdf.

• Do not use the .mp3 extension for other text or
non-audio data files as this may result in serious
malfunction and harmful noise interference.

• Many common CD creator softwares can make
files compatible for the system but do not forget
to finalize your disc after creation. This set cannot
read DirectCD recordings.

•In order to get audio CD quality, you need to
record your MP3 CD at 128 kbps. You can record
up to 256 kbps. Beyond 256 kbps, the unit might
not read the CD.

• Do not combine CD Audio and MP3 tracks onto
a CD-R(W) or CD-ROM. The player will only
playback CD audio tracks from mixed CD formats.

NOTE

• ID3 tag (Album, song, artist name) is not
supported.

• If over 400 items (songs/folders) are on the disc,
only the first 400 songs can be played.

• Resume function does not operate in MP3 mode.

NOTE

If the CD is a MP3 audio CD, reading may take up
to 2 minutes.

NOTE

The remote control selector must be set
on dvd/cd.
