Playing mp3/WMA Files
mp3/WMA is an audio file format which compresses recorded music. The main advantage of the mp3/WMA format is that CD-quality
music tracks can be stored on a personal computer in user-friendly compressed files.
1. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button to open the disc tray. Insert the disc with mp3 or WMA files and close the tray. Depending on the
recording, playback may begin automatically.
2. If playback doesn’t begin automatically, a menu is displayed. Use the arrow buttons to select a file.
3. Press OK.
