About MP3

The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) reduces the digital data of an audio CD significantly while maintaining CD-like sound quality.

How to get music files

Either download legal music files from the internet to your computer hard disc or create them from your own audio CDs. For this, insert an audio CD into your computer´s CD-ROM drive and convert the music using an appropriate encoder software. To achieve a good sound quality, a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is recommended for MP3 music files.

How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 files

Use your computer´s CD burner to record (“burn”) the music files from your hard disc on a CD-ROM.

Helpful Hints:

The set complies with the FCC-Rules, Part 15 and with 21 CFR 1040.10. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1.This device may not cause harmful interference, and

2.This device must accept any interference received, including interfer- ence that may cause undesired operation.

1.Press ALBUM/PRESET -/+once or more to select the preset number where programming should start.

Helpful Hints:

If no tuner preset number is selected, default is preset 1 and all your presets will be erased.

For details on using MP3 encoder and writing soft-

ware, please refer to the operating instructions of

the software.

Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end

with .mp3.

Total number of music files and albums: around 350

(with a typical file name length of 20 characters)

The number of music files that can be played

depends on the length of the file names. With short

file names more files will be supported.
