MP3 overview

Notes on MP3

-

MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and refers to an audio compression technology standard.

-

This product allows playback of MP3 files on CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.

-

The unit can read MP3 files written in the format compliant with ISO 9660. However it does not support
the MP3 data written by the method of packet write.

-

The unit can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

-

If you play a non- MP3 file that has the “.mp3” extension, you may hear some noise.

-

In this manual, we refer to what are called “MP3 file” and “folder” in PC terminology as “track” and
“album”, respectively.

-

Maximum number of directory level is 8, including the root directory. Maximum number of files and
folders per disc is 256.

-

The unit may not play tracks in the order of Track numbers.

-

The unit plays only the audio tracks if a disc contains both audio tracks and MP3 files.

-

When playing a disc of 8 kbps or “VBR”, the elapsed playing time in the display window will not be correct
and also the intro play may not function properly. “VBR”: Variable Bit Rate.

Notes on creating your own CD-Rs or CD-RWs containing MP3 files

-

To enjoy high quality sound, we recommend converting to MP3 files with a sampling frequency of 44.1
kHz and a fixed bit rate o f 128 kbps.

-

DO NOT store more than 256 MP3 files per disc.

-

For ISO 9660 - compliant format, the maximum allowable depth of nested folders is 8, including the root
directory (folder).

-

When CD-R disc is used, playback is possible only for discs, which have been finalized.

-

Make sure that when MP3 CD-R or CD-RW is burned that it is formatted as a data disc and NOT as an
audio disc.

-

You should not write non-MP3 files or unneeded folders along with MP3 files on the disc otherwise it takes
a long time until the unit starts to play MP3 files.

-

With some CD-R or CD-RW media, data may not be properly written depending on their manufacturing
quality. In this case, data may not be reproduced correctly. High quality CD-R or CD-RW disc is
recommended.

-

Up to 16 characters are displayed for the name of an Album or a Track. ID3TAG version 1.x is required.

-

Note that the unit may not play Tracks in the order that you wrote them to the disc.
