About MP3 audio tracks
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies certain ISO/MPEG regulations.
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-
Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio
Layer 3) format. However, the discs must be
recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2
or Joliet format for the recorder to recognize the
tracks. You can also play discs recorded in Multi
Session.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-
RW drives and the recording software (not
supplied) for details on the recording format.
Note on Multi Session discs
If MP3 audio tracks are recorded in the first
session, the recorder will also play MP3 audio
tracks in other sessions. If audio tracks in Music
CD format are recorded in the first session, only
the first session will be played back.
Playback order of MP3 audio tracks
Albums containing MP3 audio tracks play in the
following order.
A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums that
do not contain tracks (such as album E) are
skipped.
When you insert a DATA CD and press
H, the numbered tracks are played sequentially,
from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks
contained within a currently selected album take
priority over the next album in the same tree.
(Example: C contains D so 4 is played before
5.)
