Notes:
• The system displays artist name and song title information when
available on music file CDs.
• The audio quality of MP3 CDs is dependent on factors such as
the encoded bit rate, the sampling rate, and the type of encoder
used. The system supports MP3 CDs encoded at bit rates of
64kbps or higher, and sampling rates of 32kHz or higher. It is
recommended that a bit rate of at least 128kbps and a sampling
rate of 44.1kHz or better be used.
• Playback quality of recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs is depen-
dent on the CD recording process and software used to record
the disc. An improperly recorded audio CD may cause the sys-
tem to exhibit unexpected behavior.
