About playing copy-controlled CDs
Some audio CDs feature copy protection that doesn’t conform to the
official CD standard. Since these are nonstandard discs, they may not
play properly in the DR-L30.
This DVD Player supports Video CDs equipped with the PBC
(Version 2.0) function. (PBC is the abbreviation of Playback
Control.) You can enjoy two playback variations depending on the
type of disc.
• Video CD not equipped with PBC function (Version 1.1)
Sound and movies can be played on this DVD Player in the
same way as an audio CD.
• Video CD equipped with PBC function (Version 2.0)
In addition to operation of the VIDEO CD not equipped with
the PBC function, you can enjoy playback with interactive
software and search function using the menu displayed on
the TV screen (Menu Playback). Some of the functions
described in this Instruction Manual may not work with
some discs.

Compressing MP3
Please set up the transfer bit rate setting for the compression software
when compressing MP3 files as follow.
MP3 Files: 128kbps recommended (32kbps-320kbps)
• This unit is compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz (recommended)
and 48 kHz sampling frequencies.
• This unit is compatible with ID3-TAG Ver. 1.
• DIGITAL output of MP3 data is done not as MP3 data, but as
PCM data.
Naming folders and files
Single-byte characters between A and Z, single-byte numerals
between 0 and 9, and the single-byte underscore(_) can be displayed.
Ensure that the “mp3” (MP3 files) or “jpg” (JPEG files) extension
log is attached to all file names.
• Never add the “mp3” extension log to any files other than MP3
files. If the “mp3” extension log is 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.
• Never add the “jpg” extension log to any files other than JPEG
files. If the “jpg” extension log is added to any files other than
JPEG, the unit will not operate normally.
Confirming media and files
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.
