10Additional Information

MP3 files

•MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and refers to an audio compression technology standard.

•This product allows playback of MP3 files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc recordings compatible with level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the Romeo and Joliet file system can be played back.

•It is possible to play back multi-session com- patible recorded discs.

•Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of album (disc title), track (track title) and artist (track artist).

•Only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequencies are played back, the emphasis function is valid. (16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be played back.)

•MP3 files are not compatible with packet write data transfer.

•There is no m3u playlist compatibility.

•There is no compatibility with the MP3i (MP3 interactive) or MP3 PRO format.

•The max. number of characters which can be displayed for a file name, including the exten- sion (.mp3), is 32 characters from the first character.

•The max. number of characters which can be displayed for a folder name is 32 characters.

•In case of files recorded according to the Romeo and Joliet file system, only the first 32 characters can be displayed.

•When playing discs with MP3 files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED- MODE CD, both types can be played only by switching mode between MP3 and CD-DA with BAND.

•When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used, playback is possible only for discs which have been finalized.

•The folder selection sequence for playback and other operations becomes the writing sequence used by the writing software.

For this reason, the expected sequence at the time of playback may not coincide with the actual playback sequence.

However, there also is some writing software which permits setting of the playback order.

•The sound quality of MP3 files generally becomes better with increasing bit rate. This unit can play recordings with bit rates from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to enjoy a certain sound quality, it is recommended to use only discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.

Precautions

•When naming an MP3 file, add the corresponding filename extension (.mp3).

•This product plays back files with the filename extension (.mp3) as an MP3 file. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use this exten- sion for files other than MP3 files.
