Precautions when creating

MP3/WMA disc

zUsable sampling rates and bit rates:

1.MP3: Sampling rate 32 kHz-48 kHz, Bit rate: 8 kbps-320 kbps / VBR

2.WMA: Bit rate 32 kbps-192 kbps

zFile extensions

1.Always add a file extension “.MP3” or “.WMA” to MP3 or WMA file by using single byte letters. If you add a file extension other than specified or forget to add the file extension, the file cannot be played.

2.If files other than MP3/WMA are played, playback stops and the message “NOT SPRT” appears in the display.

zLogical format (File system)

1.When writing MP3/WMA file on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1, 2 or JOLIET or Romeo” as the writing software format. Normal play may not be possible if the disc is recorded on another format.

2.The folder name and file name can be displayed as the title during MP3/WMA play but the title must be within 62 single byte ASCII characters (including an extension).

3.Do not affix a name to a file inside a folder having the same name.

zFolder structure

1.A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical levels will be impossible.

zNumber of files or folders

1.Up to 512 files/512 folders can be played. But if there are 999 files in one folder, other folders cannot be played.

2.Tracks are played in the order that they were recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not always be played in the order displayed on the PC.)

3.Some noise may occur depending on the type of encoder software used while recording.

4.In case of a track recorded at VBR (variable bit rate), the display for the play time of the track may be slightly different from the actual play time.

Also, the recommended value of VBR ranges from 64 kbps to 320 kbps.

5.Depending on the damage conditions of a file, it may occur that the file is not played and the next file is played instead.

Also, if the damage is in a severe condition, playback stops and the error message appears in the display. For details on error messages, refer to the section “10. ERROR DISPLAYS” (P. 56).
