Notes on MP3 Discs
About MP3
z
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”.
z
The player cannot read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
z
The player cannot read a non MP3 encoded file that
has a file extension “.mp3”.
MP3 Disc compatibility with this player is limit-
ed as follows:
1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz
2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps
3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”
4. If you record MP3 files using the software which
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-
CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We
recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which
creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first
track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it can-
not playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new
one.
6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please
use finished CD-R discs only.
7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less
and must incorporate “.mp3” extension
e.g. “********.MP3”.
8. Do not use special letters such as “_?!><+*}{`[@
]:;\/.,” etc.
9. Total number of files on the disc should be less than
200.
10. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M), Do not use 80
minute CD-R (700M) software
This DVD player 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 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 files and music
from the Internet. TOSHIBA cannot grant such
permission. Permission should always be sought
from the copyright owner.
