Notes on MP3/WMA
What is MP3/WMA?
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows Media
TM
Audio)
are the compression formats of digital audio. The former is
developed by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group), and the
latter is developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using these
compression formats, you can record the contents of about 10
music CDs on a single CD (This figure refers to data recorded on
a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a
sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).
Note:
¡
MP3/WMA encoding and CD writing software programs are
not supplied with this unit.
Points to remember when making MP3/WMA files
Common
¡
High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recommended
for high quality sound.
¡
Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended
because playing time is not displayed properly and sound
may be skipped.
¡
The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding
circumstances. For details, refer to the instructions of your
own encoding software and writing software.
MP3
¡
It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more”
and “fixed”.
WMA
¡
It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps or more”
and “fixed”.
¡
Do not set the copy protection on the WMA file to enable this
unit to play back.

Caution
¡
Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” file
name extension to a file that is not in the
MP3/WMA format. This may not only pro-
duce noise from the speaker damage, but
also damage your hearing.
¡
You are recommended to minimize the chances of making a
disc that contains both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA files.
¡
If CD-DA files are on the same disc as MP3 or WMA files,
the songs may not play in the intended order, or some
songs may not play at all.
¡
When storing MP3 data and WMA data on the same disc,
use different folders for each data.
¡
Do not record files other than MP3/WMA files and unneces-
sary folder on a disc.
¡
The name of an MP3/WMA file should be added by rules as
shown in the following descriptions and also comply with the
rules of each file system.
¡
The file extension “.mp3” or “.wma” should be assigned to
each file depending on the file format.
¡
You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA files or dis-
playing the information of MP3/WMA files recorded with cer-
tain writing software or CD recorders.
¡
This unit does not have a play list function.
¡
Although Multi-session recording is supported, the use of
Disc-at-Once is recommended.
Supported file systems
ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, Apple Extension to ISO 9660, Joliet,
