MP3 Playback on CD-R Discs
What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method. This audio compression method has become a
standard format with many PC users. MP3 allows the original digital audio data to be
compressed to about 10 percent of its initial file size while still retaining high sound quality.
This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc, thus allowing
longer listening time without having to change CDs.
Notes:
·The DVA-3210 cannot play discs recorded on a CD-RW unit.
·Some CDs recorded in CD-R mode may not be usable.
·Files without MP3 data will not play.
MP3 Playback
When a disc with MP3 files is inserted, the SMART NAVI screen will appear. Each
folder and file will be shown (the order may be slightly different than that on your PC).
Navigate the files and folders using the navigation arrow keys, and select a file or folder to
be played by using the [ENT] button.

To move to the next file or the previous file, use the [NEXT] and [PREVIOUS] buttons.
To fast-forward or fast-reverse within a file, use the [FR] and [FF] buttons.
Three repeat modes are available for MP3 use:
· NO REPEAT
· REP – ONE repeats the current file
· FOLDER REP repeats the current folder
To conceal the SMART NAVI screen, Press “Setup” and select “Preferences”.
Supported MP3 File Formats
· ISO9660, level 1 and level 2 (the most common type of MP3 format)
· Joliet (a version of ISO9660 that supports longer filenames)
· Romeo (a format used by some CD-creating software)
File Extensions
Always add a file extension “ .MP3” or “.mp3 to an MP3 file by using single-byte
letters. If you add a different file extension, or forget to add the file extension .MP3” or
.mp3,” the file cannot be played. In addition, if you use upper case and lower case letters
(capital and small letters) mixed together for file extensions, normal play may not be pos-
sible.
