CD-R MP3/WMA file
When you record MP3 or WMA files on a CD-R for
playback in this unit, please refer to the following.
- Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET
format.
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are
compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and with
Apple's Mac. This format is the most widely used.
- When naming your MP3 or WMA files, do not exceed
8 characters, and enter “.mp3, .wma” as the file
extension.
General name format : Title.mp3. or Title.wma. When
composing your title, make sure that you use 8
characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and
avoid the use of special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128
Kbps when recording MP3 files.
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the
rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting
CD audio sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate,
that is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128 Kbps
and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like
192
Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality.
Conversely, files with decompression rates below 128
Kbps will not be played properly.
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps
when recording WMA files.
Sound quality with WMA files basically depends on the
rate of compression/decompression you choose.
Getting CD audio sound requires an analog/digital
sampling rate, that is conversion to WMA format, of at
least 64Kbps and up to 192Kbps.
Conversely, files with decompression rates below
64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be played properly.
Sampling rate that can be supported for WMA files is >30
Khz.
- Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.
Certain "secured" files are encrypted and code protected
to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following
types: Windows Media
TM
(registered trade mark of
Microsoft Inc) and SDMI
TM
(registered trade mark of The
SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.
- Important:
The above recommendations cannot be taken as a
guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3 recordings,
or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that
certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording
on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your
DVD player (degraded sound quality and in some cases,
inability of the player to read the files).
- This unit can play a maximum of 500 files and 500
folders per disc.
