MP3-CDPlayback

This system has a built-inMP3 decoder.

You can play back MP3 tracks (files)recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.

What is MP3? MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means,by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD.

CD-R/RW playback compatibility

•Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD- RW discs recorded in digital audio format. When recording your own CD-R or CD-RW discs, make sure that the recording session is properly terminated, or they will not be playable. (Depending on disc properties and recording quality, some CD-R/RW may not be playable.)

•CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R media and consequently it will take a longer to read CD-R discs.

•CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to be difficult for the DVD player to read. If the recording speed for the CD-RW disc is not predetermined, write it at low speed.

Repeat

•Each time you press the button, repeat mode changes as follows:

•Only CD-R discs with MP3 files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.

•The file name of the MP3 file may not be longer than 8 characters and should contain no blank spaces or special characters.

•Use discs recorded with a compression/decompression data rate greater than 128Kbps.

•Only files with the ".mp3" and ".MP3" extensions can be played.

•Only a consecutively written Multisession disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the Multisession disc, the disc can be played only up to the blank segment.

•If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to begin playback and not all of the recorded files may be played.

•For files encoded in Variable Bit Rate (VBR) format, i.e. files encoded in both low bit rate and high bit rate (e.g., 32Kbps ~ 320Kbps), the sound may skip during playback.
