PLAYING MP3 MUSIC FILES
MP3 (Moving Picture Experts Group, Layer 3) are digital audio files that
are compressed to about 1/10th the size of a CD recording. As a result,
you can compress a CD song that has 50 megabytes of data into an
MP3 that has only 4 or 5 megabytes.
The P-953 can play MP3s directly from files contained on a CD-R/RW,
by using the MP3 buttons on the radio (or Remote Control).
MP3 CONTROLS
The following buttons represent control inputs, characters and/or num-
bers dedicated to the access of files on your MP3 CD.
1. AS/PS: The AS/PS button, also labeled MP3, is used to search
and/or access the Track Number and Directory/Album title; addi-
tional presses will momentarily access the disc serial number
(if applicable), and display the current Directory/Album title. By
using this button, you can quickly jump to a Directory/Album and
then navigate within that area to locate and play a specific
song/track.
2.
BAND/LOUD: The BAND/LOUD button is also labeled ENTER
for MP3 CD playback purposes; its function permits entry to the
desired Directory/Album or Track after being accessed by the MP3
(AS/PS) button.
3. Preset 1: During MP3 disc play, pressing this button in conjunc-
tion with the MP3 button, will select track number 1, or a track
number containing this numeral. When a Directory or song title
search is being made, this button also represents alphanumerical
characters A, B, C, 1. Pressing the button consecutively scrolls
through the characters.
4. Preset 2: This button functions in the same manner as Preset 1,
except it represents alphanumeric characters D, E, F, 2.
5. Preset 3: This button functions in the same manner as Preset 1,
except it represents alphanumeric characters G, H, I, 3.
