MP3/WMA Operation

MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files are digital audio files that are compressed to allow more files on a single CD. This unit can play MP3/WMA directly from files contained on a CD-R/RW using the buttons on the receiver (or optional remote) as described below. Many types of software are available for converting audio files into MP3/WMA formats. Jensen recommends Nero, MusicMatch Jukebox or Roxio Easy CD Creator. Depending on the media type and recording method, some CD-R/RW's may be incompatible with this unit. The unit supports playback of MP3/WMA and CDDA (CDA), Mixed-Mode CDs and CD-Extra (including multi-session discs), but discs on which the session has not been closed will not play.

Notes on MP3/WMA Play

This unit can play MP3 (MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). However, the MP3 recording media and accepted formats are limited. When writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to the following restrictions.

Acceptable Media

The MP3/WMA recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW. When using CD-RW, use full format rather than quick format to prevent malfunction.

Acceptable Medium Formats

The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The maximum number of characters used for file name including the delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in parentheses.

ISO 9660 Level 1 (11 characters)

ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)

Joliet (31 characters)

Romeo (31 characters)

Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format. For a list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the writing software and the section “Entering File and Folder Names” below. The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:

Maximum number of nested folders: 8

Maximum number of files per disc: 999

Maximum number of folders per disc: 255

MP3/WMA written in the formats other than the above may not be successfully played and their file names or folder names may not be properly displayed.

MP3/WMA Encoder and CD Writer Settings

Use the following settings when compressing audio data in MP3 data with the MP3 encoder.

Transfer bit rate : 8 — 320 kbps

Sampling frequency : 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz

When using a CD writer to record MP3/WMA up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, check disc at once.
