Notes on MP3/WMA

Points to remember when making MP3/WMA ﬁles

Common

•High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recommended for high quality sounds.

•Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended because playing time is not displayed properly and sound may be skipped.

•The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding circumstances. For details, refer to the user manual of your own encoding software and writing software.

MP3*

•It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more” and “ﬁxed”.

*MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson.

WMA

•It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps or more” and “ﬁxed”.

•Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA ﬁle to enable this unit to play back.

Caution

•Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” ﬁle name extension to a ﬁle that is not in the MP3/WMA format. This may not only produce noise from the speaker damage, but also damage your hearing.
