MP3 disc playback
IMPORTANT:
When using the remote control, check to see if its
remote control mode selector is set to the correct
position:
To operate this system, set it to “AUDIO/TV/VCR.”
7 What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or
MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a
data compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-
RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular
CD can.
7 Disc structure
On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file.
Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also
include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.
This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc
and manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.”
This system can recognize up to 150 tracks per group, and up to
99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 tracks). The system ignores those
exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play them.
• If there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder, those
files are also counted in the total number of 150.
7 NOTES for MP3 disc
• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer
readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the
directory/file configuration.)
• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2 as the disc format.
• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5
sessions).
• This system can not play “packet write” discs.
• The system can play MP3 files only with the following file
extensions: “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”
• ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.
* An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag” where
its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There
are two versions—ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag
version 2).
• We recommended to record each song (material) at
a samplerate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of 128 kbps.
• If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, set the
MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “MP3.”
(See page 58.)
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their
disc characteristics or recording conditions.
