PLAYING MP3 MUSIC FILES

MP3 (Moving Picture Experts Group, Layer 3) are digital audio files that are compressed to about 1/10th the size of a CD recording. As a result, you can compress a CD song that has 50 megabytes of data into an MP3 that has only 4 or 5 megabytes.

The P-953 can play MP3s directly from files contained on a CD-R/RW, by using the MP3 buttons on the radio (or Remote Control).

MP3 CONTROLS

The following buttons represent control inputs, characters and/or num- bers dedicated to the access of files on your MP3 CD.

1.AS/PS: The AS/PS button, also labeled MP3, is used to search and/or access the Track Number and Directory/Album title; addi- tional presses will momentarily access the disc serial number (if applicable), and display the current Directory/Album title. By using this button, you can quickly jump to a Directory/Album and then navigate within that area to locate and play a specific song/track.

2.BAND/LOUD: The BAND/LOUD button is also labeled ENTER for MP3 CD playback purposes; its function permits entry to the desired Directory/Album or Track after being accessed by the MP3 (AS/PS) button.

3.Preset 1: During MP3 disc play, pressing this button in conjunc- tion with the MP3 button, will select track number 1, or a track number containing this numeral. When a Directory or song title search is being made, this button also represents alphanumerical characters A, B, C, 1. Pressing the button consecutively scrolls through the characters.

4.Preset 2: This button functions in the same manner as Preset 1, except it represents alphanumeric characters D, E, F, 2.

5.Preset 3: This button functions in the same manner as Preset 1, except it represents alphanumeric characters G, H, I, 3.
