MP3 disc playback

This unit can playback CD-R/RW discs recorded by the MP3 format (we refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual). Operations for MP3 discs are similar to those for Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.

What is MP3?

MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3”. MPEG Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about 1/10.

About MP3 disc

On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track (file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 254

 

 

Tracks per Group, however, the number of Tracks to be

 

 

played back on a disc is limited to 1023.

 

 

 

 

 

If a disc includes more than 1023 Tracks, the unit stops

 

 

detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks

 

 

reaches 1023 and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The

 

 

unit also ignores any non-MP3 file in the disc.

NOTES

The unit does not support “packet write” discs.

If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly and do not belong to any Group (folder), the unit recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.

The unit does not output a digital audio signal from DIGITAL OUT when playing back an MP3 disc.

Some disc may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.

The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in the alphabetical order.

For example, if there are three Groups titled [one], [two] and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then [two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.
