Playing MP3 Audio Tracks
You can play MP3 audio tracks on DATA CDs
(CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs).
1 Insert a DATA CD on the disc tray.
2 Press H PLAY.
Playback starts from the first MP3 audio track
on the disc. Note that the playback order may
be different from the edited order. See
“Playback order of MP3 audio tracks.”
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 PLAY, 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.)
z Hints
• You can view the disc information while playing MP3
audio tracks (page 38).
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the
track names when you store the tracks in a disc, the
tracks will be played in that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create albums
with no more than two trees.
