MP3/WMA Disc Playback

The MCT80 has the ability of playing back MP3 

and WMA encoded discs. MP3 and some version of 

WMA coding allow more tracks on the Disc by us-

ing the technique of lossy compression applied to the 

original audio information. These Tracks have lower 

audio quality than the original recording. Load a MP3/

WMA disc into the MCT80. Refer to figure 36.

Disc Mode and Folder Mode. Refer to figures 37 and 

38.

Select the desired mode by pressing the MODE Push-

button on the Remote Control.

The Disc Mode will play back all the tracks on the 

disc starting with tracks not in folders first, followed 

by the track contained in the folder second. The Folder 

Mode will playback the tracks contained in the se-

lected folder. Refer to figure 39.
