OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK (cont.)
About MP3 Disc
This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the MP3 format (we
refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual).
Operations for MP3 discs are similar to those for Audio CD
discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
What is MP3?
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3.” MPEG
Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio
portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or
Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about
1/10.
On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track
(file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).
This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Tracks
per Group.
If a disc includes more than the Tracks above limit, the unit stops
detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks reaches the
limit and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The unit also ignores
any non-MP3 file in the disc.
NOTES:
● Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,
some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start
playback.
● The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.
● If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly
and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit
recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.
● The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in the
alphabetical order.
● For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and
[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then
[two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.
● Therefore, an MP3 disc on the market may be played back in
the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.
MP3 control display
The MP3 control display appears on the TV screen and playback
starts when an MP3 disc is loaded.
* Elapsed playing time of current track
Elapsed playing time is only shown during playback.
NOTES for making a private MP3 disc using a CD-R/
CD-RW disc:
● Select “ISO9660” as the disc format.
● Finalize the disc.
