WMA is a compression format developed by Mi- crosoft Corporation. It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller than that of MP3.

Note

•When creating a WMA disc, ensure the copyright feature is off.

•Noise may occur when playing WMA files.

Limitations on MP3/WMA play

•This unit is not compatible with packet-write format.

•When both MP3/WMA and CD-DA data is recorded on the disc over a number of sessions:

•If the first session contains MP3/WMA recordings, the unit will play from the MP3/WMA made in that session till the session before the first CD-DA recordings.

•If the first session contains CD-DA recordings, the unit will play only the recordings made in that session. The subsequent sessions will be ignored.

•You cannot use 1-Disc Random play, All-Disc Random play and search function.

•Some MP3/WMA may not be played due to the condition of the disc or recording.

•Recordings will not necessarily be played in the order you recorded them.
