Playing MP3 Recordings

The DVD Player can play MP3 format recordings on CD- ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.

Before playing MP3 recordings, read the following notes.

Notes on MP3 recordings

– 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.

The elapsed playing time on the display may not be correct when playing MP3 files.

Tips on recording MP3

To enjoy high quality sound, convert to MP3 files with a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps.

To play MP3 files in the order that you recorded them

1Writing software that is capable of recording MP3 files in numerical and alphabetical order is required.

2Include a two or three digit number at the beginning of each file name. (e.g. “01,” “02,” ... or “001,” “002,” ...)

3It’s recommended that you use only the root folder (do not create a child folder under the root folder).

Glossary

Extension:

An extension is the last three characters that divide a file name by a period.The extension shows the attribution of the file or the software in which the file was created.

Session:

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

A multi-session disc has more than two sessions.
