ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Playing an MP3 disc

 

 

 

Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

This unit can play back only the files of the same type which is first detected if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3 files.

This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, and for the following causes:

Discs are dirty or scratched.

Moisture condensation on the lens inside the unit.

The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with “Packet Write” method.

There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stain, scratch, warp, etc.).

CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

Do not use following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck to the surface.

Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperatures or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to discs.

This unit can play back MP3 files with the extension code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

This unit can show the names of albums, artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files.

This unit can handle only one-byte characters. No other characters can be correctly displayed.

This unit can play back MP3 files meeting the conditions below:

Bit rate: 8 kbps — 320 kbps

Sampling frequency:

48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for MPEG-1)

24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz (for MPEG-2)

Disc format: ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, Romeo, Joliet, Windows long file name

The maximum number of characters for file/ folder names vary among the disc format used (includes 4 extension characters—<.mp3>).

This unit can recognize the total of 512 files, of 200 folder, and of 8 hierarchies.

This unit can play back the files recorded in VBR (variable bit rate).

The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in elapsed time display, and do not show the actual elapsed time. Especially, after performing the search function, this difference becomes noticeable.

This unit cannot play back the following files:

– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3 PRO formats.

– MP3 files encoded in an unappropriated format.

– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.

– Files which have the data such as WMA, WAVE, ATRAC3, etc.

The search function works but search speed is not constant.
