Humax 525p manual Music and Other Audio Files, S c C o m p a t i b i l i t y, System

DVD Regions. DVDs and DVD players are manufactured for different regions of the world and are marked with corresponding “region codes.” To play a DVD, the DVD and the DVD player must have compatible region codes. Discs marked with the region code ALL will play in any DVD player.

A DVD’s case should be marked with a logo that indicates the region(s) in which the disc is playable. This Recorder has a region code of “1,” which you can find on its back panel. Discs that do not have region code 1 or region code “ALL” will not play in this Recorder.

Music and Other Audio Files

The Recorder can play music and other audio files that are in MP3 or WMA format. It will attempt to play any file with an .MP3 or .WMA file name extension (upper or lowercase). Make sure the audio files on your discs are valid files and have one of those file name extensions. A file that is not an MP3 (or WMA) but has an MP3 (or WMA) file name extension may cause noise or unexpected results when you try to play it. Other kinds of content may cause a disc not to play, or to create noise, or distort the output.

The device used to create discs with MP3 or WMA files on them must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2 compliant, and the CDs must be created using physical format Mode1, or Mode2 XA Form1. The Recorder is compatible with both Romeo and Joliet file systems.

Bit Rate. The Recorder is designed to play MP3 files or WMA encoded at any bit rate. Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close to regular CD quality. The quality of the sound may become noticeably worse at lower bit rates.
