It supports variable bit rates including 32, 64, 96, 128,
192 and 256 kbps, and sampling rates of 32 kHz, 44.1
kHz and 48 kHz. Of a multi-session disc, only the first
session will be played.

files with extensions *.WMA, *.AAC, *.DLF, *.M3U,
*.PLS
l
Chinese filenames.
l
Discs of which the session is not closed.

Downloading MP3 files from the Internet or copying
songs from your own discs is a delicate process.
Notes:
You may experience an occasional “skip” while listening to
your MP3 files.
The disc reading time may exceed 10 seconds due to the
large number of songs compiled onto one disc.
In compliance with the SDMI, the digital output is muted
while playing MP3 discs.
Due to the recording nature of Digital Audio MP3 (DAM),
only Digital Audio music will play.
