About MP3
•An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1,
the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files which
have the ".mp3" extension "MP3 files".
•The unit cannot read an MP3 file which has a file
extension other than ".mp3".
• is displayed on the MP3 menu if a non-MP3 file was
included in a directory or folder.
•Noises may be heard if you play a non-MP3 file that has
the ".mp3" extension.
The restriction of playing back MP3
•This unit can recognize up to 256 including files and
folders per disc. A disc recorded with more than 256
cannot be played, including files and folders.
•The maximum allowable depth of nested folder is 50,
including files.
•The unit may not play MP3 files in the order that you
recorded them on the disc.
•The unit plays only the first session with a multi session
disc.
•The unit plays only audio tracks if a disc contains both
audio tracks and MP3 files.
•It may take over 30 seconds to read the MP3 files,
depending on the complexity of the folder tree.
The limitation of indications
•Up to 14 characters are displayed for the name of a
folder or track.
•Characters other than uppercase letters ("A" to "Z"),
numerals ("0" to "9") and underscore ("_") may not be
displayed, or may be displayed in different characters.
•The elapsed playing time on the display window may
not be correct when playing MP3 files.
•Depending on the condition of the recording equipment
or the CD-R/RW disc itself, a false folder or file which
cannot be played on this unit is displayed on TV screen.
Tips on recording MP3
•Enjoying high quality sound, we recommend to
convert to MP3 files with a sampling frequency of
44.1kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps.
To playback MP3 files in the order that you recorded
1Writing software which is capable of recording MP3
files in numerical and alphabetical order is required.
2Include a two or three digit number at the beginning
of each file name. (e.g."01","02", ... or "001", "002", ...)
3It's recommended that you use only the root folder
(do not create child folder under the root folder).
