Playback of discs recorded on a personal
computer may not be possible, depending
on the application settings and the environ-
ment. Please record with the correct for-
mat. (For details, contact the manufacturer
of the application.)
!
Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may be-
come impossible in case of direct exposure
to sunlight, high temperatures, or the sto-
rage conditions in the vehicle.
!
Titles and other text information recorded
on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be dis-
played by this unit (in the case of audio
data (CD-DA)).
!
If you insert a CD-RW disc into this unit,
time to playback will be longer than when
you insert a conventional CD or CD-R disc.
!
Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW
discs before using them.
MP3 files
!
MP3 is short for MPEGAudio Layer 3 and
refers to an audio compression technology
standard.
!
This unit allows playback of MP3 files on
CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc re-
cordings compatible with level 1 and level 2
of ISO9660 and with the Romeo and Joliet
file system can be played back.
!
It is possible to play back multi-session
compatible recorded discs.
!
MP3 files are not compatible with packet
write data transfer.
!
The maximum number of characters which
can be displayed for a file name, including
the extension (.mp3), is 32 characters from
the first character.
!
The maximum number of characters which
can be displayed for a folder name is 32.
!
In case of files recorded according to the
Romeo and Joliet file system, only the first
32 characters can be displayed.
!
When playing discs with MP3 files and
audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and
MIXED-MODE CDs, both types can be
played only by switching mode between
MP3 and CD-DA.
!
The folder selection sequence for playback
and other operations becomes the writing
sequence used by the writing software. For
this reason, the expected sequence at the
time of playback may not coincide with the
actual playback sequence. However, there
also is some writing software which per-
mits setting of the playback order.
!
Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge
into one another without a pause. When
these discs are converted to MP3 files and
burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROM, the
files will be played back on this player with
a short pause between each one, regard-
less of the length of the pause between
tracks on the original audio CD.
!
Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.
1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of
album (disc title), track (track title) and ar-
tist (track artist).
!
The emphasis function is valid only when
MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequen-
cies are played back. (16, 22.05, 24, 32,
44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be
played back.)
!
There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
!
There is no compatibility with the MP3i
(MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO formats.
!
The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-
comes better with an increased bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we
recommend using only discs recorded with
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
Important
!
When naming an MP3 file, add the corre-
sponding filename extension (.mp3).
