About MP3

An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files which have the ".mp3" extension "MP3 files".

The unit cannot read an MP3 file which has a file extension other than ".mp3".

is displayed on the MP3 menu if a non-MP3 file was included in a directory or folder.

Noises may be heard if you play a non-MP3 file that has the ".mp3" extension.

Extension:

An extension is the last three characters which divide a file name by period. The extension shows the attribution of the file.

The extension of the MP3 file is "mp3".

Session:

A session is one section on a disc between the beginning of written data and the end of written data.

A multi-session disc is a disc which has more than two sessions.
