0-13 MP3 Files That Can Be Played
Back with This Equipment
Never add the MP3 extension logs to any files other than
MP3 files. If the MP3 extension logs are added to any
files other than MP3 files, the equipment will assume
that they can be played back, and this will produce loud
noises in the speakers, resulting in damage of adverse
effects.
Check to ascertain that MP3 files can be played back
correctly on the personal computer in use prior to saving
them onto the media. Check to ensure that the saved
file can be played back normally.
÷ It is not possible to confirm that files can be played
back correctly while they are being saved onto the
media.

128kbps recommended (32 kbps-320 kbps)
÷ This unit is compatible with 32kHz, 44.1kHz
(recommended) and 48 kHz samplimg frequencies.
Categorizing folders

at an extremely high rate of compression, it is possible
to record several times more tracks than audio CDs onto

tracks into different folders by genre, artist or album for
retrieval and repeat playback purposes.
