Writing to a CD-R/CD-RW
MP3/WMA files can be recorded on CD-R/RW by using a CD-R/RW drive connected to a computer.
Record by setting the recording format of the recording software to ISO9660 level 1 or level 2 (not
including the extension format).
Select CD-ROM ( mode1 ) or CD-ROM XA ( mode2 ) for the disc format.
Playing Back a CD-R/RW
Insert a CD-R/RW disc with MP3/WMA files recorded on it. The system will automatically determine
whether the disc is a music CD or a CD-R/RW with MP3/WMA files and begin playing the disc. A
music CD recorded onto a CD-R/RW can also be played. However, depending on the type, some
discs may not play.
ATTENTION
• A fixed bit rate of 128kbps and sampling frequency of 44.1kHz is recommended for obtaining
stable audio quality at playback.
• Depending on the characteristics of the disc, CD-R and CD-RW may not be playable.
• Because there are many types of MP3/WMA encoding software available, including
commercial and freeware programs, the audio quality may deteriorate, noise may be
generated when playing starts and some recordings may not play, depending on the condition
of the encoder and the file format.
• When files other than MP3/WMA files are recorded on a disc, the system may take some time
to recognize the disc and it may not play it.
