Additional Information
About WMA
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology
developed by Microsoft Corporation.
WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 8 or Windows Media Player for
Windows XP. Files are recognized by their file extension “.wma” or “.WMA”.
• This unit will play CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs containing files saved in the mp3 or WMA
format with a sampling rate of 32, 44.1 or 48 KHz.
• Fixed bit-rate mp3 files are recommended, or the playing time may not be shown correctly.
• This player is not compatible with lossless encoding or variable bit-rate (VBR) WMA files.
• WMA files encoded with DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection will not play.
• When naming mp3 and WMA files, add corresponding file name extensions (.mp3 or .wma). Files are
played according to the file extension. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions
for other kinds of files.
• This player can recognize up to 999 files (WMA/mp3) and up to 499 folders. If a disc exceeds these
limits, only files and folders up to these limits will be playable. Files and folders are read/displayed in
alphabetical order.
• Folder and track names (excluding the file extension) are displayed.
• This player cannot play 100% of all kinds of WMA/mp3/JPEG file discs because the unit’s playability
depends on the quality of the disc, bit-rate, and file structure.
About MPEG4
MPEG is the abbreviation of the Moving Pictures Experts Group which belongs to the family of
ISO/IEC standards (International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical
Commission). MPEG-4 is a compression technology for Interactive Multimedia System.
This player supports ISO MPEG-4 compliant bitstreams. The visual profile can support from Simple
Profile (SP) level 0 to level 3 and Advanced Simple Profile (ASP) level 0 to level 5, with maximum bit-rate
= 8000 Kbps.
Notes: There are many non-standardised DVD/MPEG-4/MP3/WMA/CD-recording procedures and copy protection
procedures now in use, and many different kinds of DVD±R, DVD±RW, CD-R and CD-RW blank discs. Therefore, in
some cases, read errors or read delays may be encountered. This is not a defect of the device.
Some mp3 discs may be incompatible due to recording conditions such as PC performance, writing software, media
ability, etc.
Some CD-RW and CD-R discs may not be compatible.
About JPEG
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot be read by
this player. The total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 650. Make sure that files
have the “.jpg” extension. Files without the “.jpg” extension cannot be ready by the player, even though
the files are shown as JPEG images on your computer.
Recommendations and Information Concerning Discs
CD-R and CD-RW Discs
This player can play most CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, depending on the recorder of the discs
of your personal computer, the type of disc and recording method used, some discs might not play,
or the performance might not meet the expected standard of quality. When playing a CD-R disc, it is
completely normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before it plays. If the disc
is not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it again. If after several
trials, the disc cannot be recognized, make sure you have followed the recommendations below or try
