MP3-CDPlayback

This system has a built-inMP3 decoder.

You can play back MP3 tracks (files)recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.

What is MP3? MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means,by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

CD-R/RW playback compatibility

•Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in digital audio format. When recording your own CD-R or CD-RW discs, make sure that the recording session is properly terminated, or they will not be playable. (Depending on disc properties and recording quality, some CD-R/RWs may not be playable.)

•CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R media and consequently it will take a longer to read CD-R discs.

•CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to be difficult for the DVD player to read. If the recording speed for the CD-RW disc is not predetermined, write it at low speed.
