MP3 disc playback
Operations
The unit can play back MP3 files on a personally recorded CD-R/
RW disc or commercially available CD. We refer to a disc that
contains MP3 files as an “MP3 disc” in this manual.
Note that if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files, you can
only play back files of the type selected by the MP3/JPEG setting
in the PICTURE preference display (see page 28).
About MP3 discs
On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file (track). Files are
sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.
• Each file is regarded as a track.
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group
1.”
• The unit recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99
groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3 files, they also
count in the 150-file total.
Notes for making your own MP3 disc using a CD-R/
CD-RW disc
• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.
• We recommend you record your material at a 44.1 kHz
sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.
