MP3 disc playback
This unit can playback CD-R/RW discs recorded by the
MP3 format (we refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this
manual).
Though available functions with MP3 discs are limited,
operations for the available functions are similar to those
with Audio CD discs.
About MP3 disc
On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on a
Track (file). Tracks are usually grouped into a Group
(folder) by category, by artist, etc. In addition, Groups
can also be members of Groups (Groups' Group),
creating hierarchical Group layers. If you are familiar
with personal computers, you may easily understand the
hierarchical Group layer construction of MP3 discs
because it is similar to the folder layer construction of
computers.
This unit can handle up to 100 Tracks per Group, up to
100 Groups per Group layer and up to 10 Group layers. If
a disc has more Tracks, Groups or Group layers than the
above, the unit does not recognize those exceeding the
maximum numbers and cannot playback them.
Operations
The following table shows basic functions of basic
control buttons.
As you can see, all buttons below function the same as
with Audio CD discs.
* You cannot skip a Track across a Group.
What is MP3?
MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG1 Audio Layer 3.
MPEG Audio is a compression specification that
compresses the audio portion only. This image
compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc.
The audio data has been compressed into about 1/10.
NOTES for making a private MP3 disc
using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:
Select ISO 9660 as the disc format.
Do not select the multi-session recording.
Finalize the disc after completing recording.
NOTES
The unit does not support packet write discs.
Some disc may not be played back because of the disc
characteristics or recording condition.
The unit does not output a digital audio signal from
DIGITAL OUT when playing back an MP3 disc.
You cannot playback Tracks in the desired
(programmed) or random order.
The screen saver function is not active with an MP3
disc, as with an Audio CD.
