Notes on MP3 Recordings
About MP3
An MP3 file is compressed audio data using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
The VCR/DVD Recorder cannot read an MP3 file
that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.
MP3 Disc compatibility with this recorder is
limited as follows:
1. CD-R/RW physical format should be “ISO 9660” and
“JOLIET”.
2. If you record MP3 files using software which cannot
create a FILE SYSTEM (e.g., “Direct-CD” etc.), then
you cannot playback MP3 files. We recommend that
you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an
ISO9660 or JOLIET file system.
3. The total number of files and folders on the disc are
free but the total number of files and folders on the
folder should be less than 1999.
This VCR/DVD Recorder requires discs/recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are auto-
matically set to these standards. There are many differ-
ent 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. SANYO has no right to grant such
permission. Permission should always be sought
from the copyright owner.
