128kbps recommended (32 kbps-320 kbps)

÷This unit is compatible with 32kHz, 44.1kHz (recommended) and 48 kHz samplimg frequencies.

Categorizing folders

As MP3 files are compressed into high-quality sound files at an extremely high rate of compression, it is possible to record several times more tracks than audio CDs onto a single medium. It is therefore convenient to split the tracks into different folders by genre, artist or album for retrieval and repeat playback purposes.

÷A maximum of 999 folders or a maximum of 999 files can be stored on a single media.

÷There are cases where it is not possible to save folders in the desired sequence depending on the software being used.

Note on the multi-session disc and CD-DA (music data)

÷This unit is compatible with multi-session discs.

÷The music CD data (CD-DA data) can be played only when its first session is composed of music CD data (CD-DA data).

The second and later sessions are not played back.

However, when "the number of sessions is '2'" and "its second session is composed of music CD data (CD-DA data)", the music CD data (CD-DA) can be played back.

Never add the MP3 extension logs to any files other than MP3 files. If the MP3 extension logs are added to any files other than MP3 files, the equipment will assume that they can be played back, and this will produce loud noises in the speakers, resulting in damage of adverse effects.

Check to ascertain that MP3 files can be played back correctly on the personal computer in use prior to saving them onto the media. Check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally.

÷It is not possible to confirm that files can be played back correctly while they are being saved onto the media.

Ensure that the session is closed or finalized when data has been written on media. There are cases where media on which the session has not be closed or finalized will not be played back correctly with this equipment.

÷There are cases were the folder names and file names will not be displayed correctly depending on the software used to save them.

÷There are cases where playback is not possible when MP3 files (CD-ROM) and music CD information (CD-DA) are saved on the same media.

÷When a disc contains a mixture of different formats such as the CD-DA and MP3, the data in the CD- DA format will be played in priority.
