Playing recordable CDs
This unit can play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in
CD Audio or Video CD format, or with MP3 audio files.
MP3 compatibility information
• The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.
• Files should be MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1 or
48kHz. Incompatible files will not play and
“UNPLAYABLE MP3 FORMAT” will be displayed.
• Not compatible with some variable bit-rate (VBR) files.
• VBR files may not show play times correctly.
• This player only plays tracks that are named with the
file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.
• This player is not compatible with multi-session discs.
If you try and play a multi-session disc, only the first
session will be played.
• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your MP3
files. The disc must be finalized in order to play.
• Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close to
regular audio CD quality. Although this player will play
lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, the sound quality becomes
noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.
• Only the first 8 characters of folder and track names
(excluding the “.mp3” extension) are displayed.
• This player can recognize a maximum of 250 folders
and 250 tracks. Discs containing more than 250
folders or tracks will play, but only the first 250
folders/tracks.
Caution!
• CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal
computer or a CD recorder may not play if the disc
is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or
condensation on the player’s lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer,
even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there
are cases in which it may not play because of the
settings of the application software used to create
the disc. (Check with the software publisher for
more detailed information.)
• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs can be played, but not
all time information (playing time, etc.) will be
displayed.
• For more information on using CD-R/RW discs, see
‘Disc care’
