MP3 Disc Playback

This unit can play back MP3 files on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “MP3 disc” in this instruction.

•Before using the remote control, press DVD to change the remote control operation mode for the MP3 disc operations.

•Turn on your TV and select the correct input mode on the TV.

If “ ” appears on the TV when you press a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do.

What is MP3?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as many songs as a regular CD can.

Disc structure

On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.”

		Up to 99 groups
Group 1				Group 2
Track 1			Group 3
	Track 2				Group 4	Group 5

Up to 150 tracks

This unit can recognize up to 150 tracks per group and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 tracks in total). Since the unit ignores the tracks whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played back.

•If there are any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total file number.

Notes:

•MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time than normal discs. (It depends on the complexity of the folder/file configuration.)

•When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

•This unit supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).

•This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.

•This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions: “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”

•ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.

*An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag” where its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There are two versions—ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag version 2).

•It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. The unit cannot play back the files made at bit rate of under 64 kbps.

•If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, set the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “MP3.”

(See page 50.)

•Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

Notes:

•The following functions are not available to MP3 disc playback: Program playback, random playback, fast-forward/reverse playback, on-screen bar, and choice menus

•Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be played back normally.
