Files that can be played
The SS-R1/SS-R05 is able to play files of the following
format.
WAV files
•
Stereo or monaural WAV files at a sampling rate of
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz can be played.
MP3 files
•
Stereo or monaural MP3 files at a sampling rate of
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz and a bit rate of 64 kbps–320
kbps can be played.
TIP
As long as they meet the above requirements, the SS-R1/
SS-R05 can play files that were recorded on another
device. For example you can use your computer or other
audio device to write files complying with the above
requirements to a CompactFlash card, and then insert
this card into the SS-R1/SS-R05 and play the files. This
allows you to work efficiently when preparing playback
material for the SS-R1/SS-R05.
NOTE
Because of the nature of their format, VBR (Variable
Bit Rate) MP3 files do not allow a precise location to be
found. Thus, when performing functions that require a
point to be specified within the track, such as Time Skip,
Call, or the point A setting for A-B Repeat, there may be
a slight discrepancy between the point you specified and
the point at which playback actually begins.
This chapter explains how to play back audio files (WAV
or MP3) stored on a CompactFlash card.
The explanations that follow will assume that a
CompactFlash card containing audio files is inserted in the
SS-R1/SS-R05, and that the SS-R1/SS-R05 is powered-on.
5 − Playback
Tracks and files
The audio data on a CompactFlash card is saved as “audio
files”. These files are handled as “tracks” by the SS-R1/
SS-R05’s recorder.
For this reason, this manual will refer to audio files as
“tracks” (or in some cases, as “songs”) in the context of
explaining the SS-R1/SS-R05’s recorder functionality,
while using the term “files” in the context of explaining
card data management. Please be aware that these different
terms refer to the same thing.
Play area
You can specify the range of playback tracks that can be
selected in the home screen; this range is called the “play
area”.
If numerous files are stored on the card, limiting the range
of selection in this way will make it easier for you to select
the desired tracks.
You can specify the type of play area; it can be all files on
the card (the default setting), a folder, or a playlist.
Selecting the type of play area
You can use the menu to specify the desired type of play
area (for details on how to perform menu operations, refer
to “Operations in menu screens” on page 16).

The play area type is shown in the upper left of the
home screen.
NOTE
The play area setting is preserved even when the power
is turned off.
