Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings

About MP3

An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.

The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.

About WMA(Windows Media Audio)

An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression
technology.

WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio
compression of the MP3 format.

MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this DVD/CD
receiver is limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz (MP3), 

32 - 44.1kHz (WMA)

2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps (MP3), 

32 - 128kbps (WMA)

3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”
4. If you record MP3/WMA files using the software

which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example
“Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback
MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use “Easy-
CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the

first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st
track, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wish
to playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data in
the disc or use a new one.

6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less

and must incorporate “.mp3” or “.wma” extension 
e.g. “********.MP3” or “********.WMA”.

7. Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.
8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than

650.

This DVD/CD Receiver requires discs/recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are 
automatically set to these standards. There are many
different types of recordable disc formats (including 
CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files). That require 
certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure
compatible playback.

Customers should also note that permission is
required in order to download MP3/WMA files and
music from the Internet. Our company has no right
to grant such permission. Permission should always
be sought from the copyright owner.
