Notes on MP3 Recordings

About MP3

An MP3 file is audio data compressed using the
MPEG1 audio layer 3 file-encoding scheme. Files
that have the “.mp3” file extension are called “MP3
files”.
The DVD Recorder+VCR cannot read MP3 files that
have file extensions other than “.mp3”.

MP3 Disc compatibility with the DVD

Recorder+VCR is limited as follows:

1. CD-R/RW physical format should be “ISO 9660” and
“JOLIET”.
2. If you record MP3 files using software which cannot
create a FILE SYSTEM (e.g., Direct-CD, etc.), it is
impossible to playback MP3 files. “Easy-CD Creator”
is recommended.
3. The total number of files and folders on the disc are
free but the total number of files and folders on the
folder should be less than 1999.
This DVD Recorder+VCR requires discs/recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are auto-
matically set to these standards. There are many differ-
ent types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R
containing MP3 files) that require certain pre-existing
conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.
Please note that permission is required in order to
download MP3 files and music from the Internet.
Our company has no right to grant such permis-
sion. Permission should always be sought from the
copyright owner.
