Playback of MP3 file

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 audio compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc. The audio data has been com-

pressed into about 1/10.

Acceptable medium

CD-RW is not acceptable. Also for CD-R disc, it may not be played according to the type of the disc.

The medium formats acceptable to this unit are ISO 9660. (The maximum total number of directories which can be

recognized by this unit is 512 and the total number of files is 1957.)

When entering file and folder names, use alphanumeric characters only.

This unit recognized and plays only MP3 file which have the MP3 filename extension (.MP3).

Important notes on the MP3 file

Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer

When you use your MP3 encoder to compress audio data to an MP3 file, set the transfer bit rate of the encoder to

fixed 128 kbps (Constant Bit Rate).

Sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz.

When you use your CD writer to record MP3 file, check Disc at Once.

Sequence of playing MP3 files

MP3 files will be played in the sequence that the writing software had recorded. Therefore, it may be different between

the sequence that you want to record and the sequence of playing. For some writing software, input "01" ~ "99", for

example, before the file names in the sequence of playing and then record into a CD-R, etc, sometimes you may setup

the sequence of playing.

Writing files onto a medium

When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the files on the medium. If the medium contains a lot

of folders or non-MP3 file, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3 file. In addition, it may take

time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or a file search or folder search may not be performed smoothly. You

should not write non-MP3 file or unneeded folders along with MP3 file on the medium.
