Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings

About MP3

An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
The VCR/DVD Recorder can not read an MP3 file
that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

About WMA (Window Media Audio) Files

•AWMAfile is made using Microsoft audio
compression technology.
WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the
audio compression of the MP3 format.

MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this

recorder is limited as follows:

CD-R/RW physical format should be “ISO 9660”
and “JOLIET”.
If you record MP3 files using the software which
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example
“Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3
files. We recommend that you use “Easy-CD
Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 or JOLIET file
system.
•The total number of files and folders on the disc are
free but the total number of files and folders on the
folder should be less than 999.
This VCR/DVD Recorder requires discs/recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are auto-
matically set to these standards. There are many differ-
ent types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R
containing MP3 or WMAfiles) that require certain pre-
existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible
playback.
Customers should also note that permission is
required in order to download MP3/WMAfiles and
music from the Internet. Our company has no right
to grant such permission. Permission should
always be sought from the copyright owner.
