Additional Information
MP3 files
• MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and
refers to an audio compression technology
standard.
• This product allows playback of MP3 files on
CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc
recordings compatible with level 1 and level 2
of ISO9660 and with the Romeo and Joliet file
system can be played back.
• It is possible to play back multi-session com-
patible recorded discs.
• Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0
and Ver. 1.1 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.)
• MP3 files are not compatible with packet write
data transfer.
• There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
• There is no compatibility with the MP3i (MP3
interactive) or MP3 PRO format.
• The max. number of characters which can be
displayed for a file name, including the exten-
sion (.mp3), is 32 characters from the first
character.
• The max. number of characters which can be
displayed for a folder name is 32 characters.
• In case of files recorded according to the
Romeo and Joliet file system, only the first 32
characters can be displayed.
• When playing discs with MP3 files and audio
data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED-
MODE CD, both types can be played only by
switching mode between MP3 and CD-DA
with
BAND
.
• When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used, playback
is possible only for discs which have been
finalized.
• 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 permits setting of the playback order.
• The sound quality of MP3 files generally
becomes better with increasing bit rate. This
unit can play recordings with bit rates from 8
kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to
enjoy a certain sound quality, it is
recommended to use only discs recorded with
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
Precautions
• When naming an MP3 file, add the
corresponding filename extension (.mp3).
• This product plays back files with the filename
extension (.mp3) as an MP3 file. To prevent
noise and malfunctions, do not use this exten-
sion for files other than MP3 files.
