MP3 and CD Player
MP3 Recommendations
• Use .mp3 as the extension when converting audio files into MP3 for saving onto CD-R(W) or CD-ROM,
e.g. Rocky08.mp3. Do not use any other extension e.g. .doc, .pdf.
• Do not use the .mp3 extension for other text or non-audio data files as this may result in serious mal-
function and harmful noise interference.
• Please do not burn your disc into different sessions. Files from the second session will not be played.
It is
highly recommended that you create your CD by writing only once.
• Many common CD creator softwares can make files compatible for the system but
do not forget to
finalize your disc after creation. This set cannot read DirectCD recordings.
•
In order to get audio CD quality, you need to record your MP3 CD at 128 kbps. You can record up to 256
kbps. Beyond 256 kbps, the unit might not read the CD.
• Do not combine CD Audio and MP3 tracks onto a CD-R(W) or CD-ROM. The player will only
playback CD audio tracks from mixed CD formats.
