Notes:
• Artist name and song title information appear on the display when
available on music file CDs.
• The audio quality of MP3 CDs depends 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. Bose recommends
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 depends on
the CD recording process and software used to record the disc. An
improperly recorded audio CD may cause the system to exhibit
unexpected behavior.
