Operation
“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.
• The unit supports the playback of WMA
files. The playback of ID3 tags for WMA format
is not guaranteed, it depends on versions and
availability of Cyrillic alphabet.
• WMA (Windows Media Audio) – music
data compression format, created by Microsoft
Corporation. This format uses coding algorithm
for compression of initial audio-record, greatly
decreasing the file size, but, saving the good
sound quality even when the bit rate is low (for
example, 64 Kbit/s).
• Remember that the unit may not play the
tracks in order they are written on disc.
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.
