Some words about MP3
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG I Audio
Layer-3) allows you to record up to 10 hours of CD-like
quality music on a single CDR(W).
Making your own MP3-CD
You can either transfer music from your own digital audio
CDs via CD-ROM drive onto your PC and encode it into
MP3 format (“rip”) or download legal MP3 music from the
Internet. Record (“burn”) the music from your hard disc on
CDR(W) with your home PC (make sure filename ends
with .mp3). Once finished, you can play your MP3-CD on
this DVD recorder system.
Data rate
The data rate is of great importance with MP3. It indicates
how fast bits are transferred. To achieve a good MP3
quality a bit rate of 128 kbps is recommended.
Recording an MP3-CD
Make sure to use a recording speed not faster than indicated
on the CDR(W) and avoid running other programmes
simultaneously on your PC during the recording process.
It is not possible to “burn” an MP3-CD on this
DVD recorder system.
Only the first session of a multi-session-CD will be
played.
