■Regarding CD-R/RW discs

Due to the unique construction of CD-R/RW discs, leaving them for extended periods of time in the pause (or cue standby) mode at a single point may result in the discs’ be- coming difficult to play at that place. The same symptom may also occur if the loop function is used to play back a single point on the disc excessively.

As a result, users are advised to construct backup archive discs when playing discs containing important data.

Playing MP3 files

MP3 files may be found in two formats: Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR). This component supports playback and DJ play with both CBR and VBR type MP3 files, but in comparison with CBR files, files recorded in VBR format will experience slower search and super-fast search speeds. As a result, when operating speed is most important, the use of the CBR recording format is recommended for MP3 files.

MP3 files must follow the format requirements listed below.

MP3 format	MPEG-1	Supports Audio Layer-3 sampling frequency 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz,
		Bit Rate 32 Kbps to 320 Kbps.
	MPEG-2	Supports Audio Layer-3 sampling frequency 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz,
		Bit Rate 16 Kbps (stereo) to 160 Kbps.
	ID3 tag	Supports ID3 Vers. 1.0/1.1/2.2/2.3/2.4. Displays title, album, artist.
		Only alpha-numerics and a limited number of symbols can be
		displayed.
	File extension	.mp3, .MP3, .mP3, .Mp3
