7. MP3 PLAYBACK ON CD-R DISCS

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method. This audio compres- sion method has become a standard format with many PC users. MP3 allows the original digital audio data to be compressed to about 10 percent of its initial file size while still retaining high sound quality. This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc, thus allowing longer listening time without having to change CDs.

Notes:

•The VS735 cannot play back a disc recorded on a CD-RW unit.

•Some CDs recorded in CD-R mode may not be usable.

•Files without MP3 data will not play.

MP3 Playback

When a disc with MP3 files is inserted, the SMART NAVI screen will appear. Each folder and file will be shown (the order may be slightly different than that on your PC). Navigate the files and folders using the navigation arrow keys, and select a file or folder to be played by using the [ENTER] button.
