Notes on MP3 Recordings
About MP3
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using
the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We
call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3
files”.
The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
MP3 disc compatibility with this player is
limited as follows:
1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1 kHz
2. Bit rate / within 32-320 kbps CBR (Constant Bit
Rate)
3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”
4. Discs created in the Packet Write format cannot
be played.
5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the
first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it
cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to play-
back MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or
use a new one.
6. File names should be named using 8 letters or
less and must incorporate “.mp3” extension
e.g. “********.MP3”.
7. Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ”
etc.
8. Total number of files on the disc should be less
than 650.
This DVD player requires discs/recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve opti-
mal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are auto-
matically set to these standards. There are many dif-
ferent types of recordable disc formats (including
CD-R containing MP3 files). that require certain pre-
existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible
playback.
