Pioneer DEH-P3600MP, Operation Manual

Page: 42 / 96

! When playing discs with MP3/WMA/WAV
files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-
EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types
can be played only by switching mode be-
tween MP3/WMA/WAV and CD-DA.
! The folder selection sequence for playback
and other operations becomes the writing
sequence used by the writing software. For
this reason, the expected sequence at the
time of playback may not coincide with the
actual playback sequence. However, there
also is some writing software which per-
mits setting of the playback order.
Important
! When naming an MP3/WMA/WAV file, add
the corresponding filename extension (.mp3,
.wma or .wav).
! This unit plays back files with the filename ex-
tension (.mp3, .wma or .wav) as an MP3/
WMA/WAV file. To prevent noise and malfunc-
tions, do not use these extensions for files
other than MP3/WMA/WAV files.
MP3 additional information
! Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.
1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 formats for display
of album (disc title), track (track title) and
artist (track artist).
! Only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz
frequencies are played back, the emphasis
function is valid. (16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48
kHz sampling frequencies can be played
back.)
! There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
! There is no compatibility with the MP3i
(MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO format.
! The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-
comes better with an increased bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we
recommend using only discs recorded with
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
WMA additional information
! You can only play back WMA files in the fre-
quencies 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.
! The sound quality of WMA files generally
becomes better with an increased bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 48 kbps to 320 kbps (CBR) or from 48
kbps to 384 kbps (VBR), but in order to be
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we
recommend using discs recorded with a
higher bit rate.
WAV additional information
! This unit plays back WAV files encoded in
Linear PCM (LPCM) format or MS ADPCM
format.
! You can only play back WAV files in the fre-
quencies 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz
(LPCM), or 22.05 and 44.1 kHz (MS
ADPCM). The sampling frequency shown
in the display may be rounded.
! The sound quality of WAV files generally be-
comes better with a larger number of quan-
tization bits. This unit can play recordings
with 8 and 16 (LPCM) or 4 (MS ADPCM)
quantization bits, but in order to be able to
enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recom-
mend using discs recorded with the larger
number of quantization bits.
