MP3 disc playback
This unit can playback CD-R/RW 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.
About MP3 disc
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 254
Tracks per Group, however, the number of Tracks to be
played back on a disc is limited to 1023.
If a disc includes more than 1023 Tracks, the unit stops
detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks
reaches 1023 and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The
unit also ignores any non-MP3 file in the disc.
Unavailable functions
As described earlier, there are some resrictions for
playback of MP3 discs. Following functions are not
available with MP3 discs.

Basic operations
The table shows basic functions of basic control buttons
(See page 43).
As you can see, 3, 7, 8 and 4/¢ buttons function
the same as with Audio CD discs, though 1/¡
buttons function differently.
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.
NOTES for making a private MP3 disc
using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:
• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.
• Do not select the “multi-session” recording.
• Finalize the disc.
NOTES
• The unit does not support “packet write” discs.
• If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc
directly and do not belong to any Group (folder), the
unit recognized them as belonging to an independent
Group.
• The unit does not output a digital audio signal from
DIGITAL OUT when playing back an MP3 disc.
• Some disc may not be played back because of the disc
characteristics or recording condition.
• The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in
the alphabetical order.
For example, if there are three Groups titled [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.
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 1 Track 2
Group 1 Group 2
