– About MP3

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

¶The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3.”

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

–The restriction of playing MP3

¶This unit can play up to 200 files per disc. A disc having more than 200 files cannot be played.

¶The unit may not play MP3 files in the order that you recorded them on the disc.

¶With a multi-session disc, the player plays only the last session.

¶It may take over 30 seconds to read the MP3 files, depending on the contents of the disc.

–The limitation of indications

¶Up to eight characters are displayed for the name of a track.

¶Characters other than uppercase letters (“A” to “Z”), numericals (“0” to “9”) and underscore (“_”) may not be displayed, or may be displayed in different characters.
