MP3 operations

The DVG-399KK can play back MP3’s ﬁles recorded to CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.

Notes on MP3 Discs

An MP3 ﬁle stores audio data that has been compressed using the MPEG1 encoding scheme. Although PC terminol- ogy regarding MP3s and storage is, “ﬁles” and “folders”, in this manual we refer to them as “tracks and albums”.

-The maximum allowable number of tracks and/or albums located on a disc is 900, including the root albums (direc- tory).

-The maximum allowable depth of a nested folder is 127, including ﬁles.

-If a disc contains both audio as well as MP3 tracks, it will not play in the DVG-399K.

-The unit can only play back MP3 tracks having a ﬁle extension of “.mp3”.

-It may take 30 seconds or more before the unit can start playback of MP3’s. This time depends on the

number of recorded tracks and the complexity of the album tree.

-If you play a non-MP3 track that has the “.mp3” ﬁle extension, the unit will skip to the next valid track automatically.

-Digital recordings with this unit cannot be done while playing back MP3 discs.

-When creating MP3 discs, do not store more than 900 albums and/or tracks in a disc.
