What’s MP3?

MP3 is the audio file format allowing you to easily compress music recordings.

The main advantage of MP3 is that it enables storage of CD-quality music tracks on a home computer in manageable, compressed files.

Thanks to compression you now only need about 4 Mb of disc space for a 4 minute music track, compared with some 40 Mb for conventional file formats, but with almost no reduction in listening quality!

MP3 CD Playback

When you play an MP3 disc, the MP3 menu will be displayed instead of the DVD player menu. The DVD player menu is not available when playing MP3 discs. MP3 content is divided into album(s) and songs. A disc may hold several albums and each album can contain several songs. (Similar to titles and chapters on a DVD disc.)

Use the remote control Navigation keys to select albums and songs.

As computer files, several levels (several albums)

may be recorded on a disc.
