DVD30 UNIVERSAL DISC PLAYER
PLAYING MP3’S
This chapter explains how to play MP3 files on
CD-Rom discs.
MP3 compatibility information
• The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.
• Mono or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1
or 48kHz, fixed bit-rate. Incompatible files will not
play and ”UNPLAYABLE MP3 FORMAT” will be
displayed.
• Not compatible with variable bit-rate (VBR) files.
• This player only plays tracks that are named with the
file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.
• This player is not compatible with multi-session discs.
If you try and play a multi-session disc, only the first
session will be played.
• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your MP3
files. The disc must be finalized in order to play.
• Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close to
regular audio CD quality. Although this player will
play lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, the sound quality
becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.
• Only the first 8 characters of folder and track names
(excluding the “.mp3” extension) are displayed.
• This player can recognize a maximum of 250 folders
and 250 tracks. Discs containing more than 250 folders
or tracks will play, but only the first 250 folders/tracks.
Caution!
• DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a
personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not
play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or
condensation on the player’s lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if
it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in
which it may not play because of the settings of the
application software used to create the disc. (Check
with the software publisher for more detailed informa-
tion.)
• Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played.
• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs can be played, but not all
time information (playing time, etc.) will be displayed.
