MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group
(or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format
with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*).
That means,by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW
can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular
CD can.
*Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second
of audio data will consume. The measuring unit used is
Kbps (1000 bits per second).
To obtain better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate.
The most popular bit rate for encoding (recording)is
128 Kbps.
What is MP3?
•This system can only read MP3 files that are recorded in
the format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2.
•The system can read or play MP3 files only with the
extension code —“.mp3 ”.
•ID3*tags cannot be shown on the display.
*An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag ”
where its album name, performer, rack title, etc. are
recorded.
MP3 File Compatibility
•
Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD-
RW discs recorded in digital audio format.
When recording your own CD-R or CD-RW
discs, make sure that the recording session is
properly terminated, or they will not be
playable. (Depending on disc properties and
recording quality, some CD-R/RWs may not be
playable.)
•
CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R
media and consequently it will take a longer to
read CD-R discs.
•
CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to
be difficult for the DVD player to read. If the
recording speed for the CD-RW disc is not
predetermined, write it at low speed.
