• WMA files with Digital Rights Management (DRM) from online mu- sic shops cannot be played with this device.

•WMA files can only be played back safe- ly if they were created with Windows Media Player version 8 or later.

Preparing an MP3 CD

The various combinations of CD burners, CD burning software and CD blanks may lead to problems arising with the device’s ability to play certain CDs. If problems occur with your own burned CDs, you should try another brand of CD blank or choose another colour of CD blank. To avoid problems when playing self-burned CDs, you should not burn CDs at speeds greater than 16-speed.

The format of the CD must be ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet. Other formats can- not be played reliably.

When creating (coding) MP3/WMA files from audio files, you should use bit rates from 32 to 320 kbit/s for MP3 files or 32 to 192 kbps for WMA files.

MP3 tracks can contain additional infor- mation such as the artist, album and track name (ID3 tags). This device can display ID3 tags of version 1 and 2.

This device can manage up to 999 tracks in 99 directories. The directories and tracks on the CD can be selected individually.
