However, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not work properly for any of the following reasons: disc burner characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is damaged or dirty. See the manual supplied with your disc burner for more information. Condensation or dirt on the optical pickup lens can also affect play- back.

Discs Made on Personal Computers

MP3 Compatibility

•MP3 discs must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2, Romeo or Joliet compliant. Supported formats: Mode 1, Mode 2 XA Form 1.

•Folders can be up to eight levels deep.

•MP3 ﬁles must be MPEG-1/MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 format with a sampling rate of between 8 kHz and

48 kHz and a bit-rate of between 8 kbps and 320 kbps (128 kbps recommended). Incompatible ﬁles cannot be played.

•Constant bit rate MP3 ﬁles are recommended, how- ever, variable bit-rate (VBR) MP3 ﬁles between

8 kbps and 320 kbps are supported. (Playing times may not display correctly.)

•MP3 ﬁles must have a “.mp3” or “.MP3” ﬁle name extension. MP3 ﬁles without the proper extension will not be recognized. To prevent noise and malfunction, do not use these extensions for other types of ﬁles.

•The CD receiver supports up to 499 MP3 ﬁles and folders. Files and folders in excess of this cannot be played. Note that if the ﬁle and folder structure is very complicated, the CD receiver may not be able to read or play all of the MP3 ﬁles on the disc.

•Normally, the music in the audio session of a CD Extra disc is played. However, you can set the CD receiver so that it plays any MP3 ﬁles in the data ses- sion of a CD-R/RW disc instead. If the data session contains no MP3 ﬁles, the audio session will be played regardless. See “Setting MP3 Preferences” on page 36 for more information.
