Listening to a CD or MP3/WMA disc

This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD format and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but cannot record on them. Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable due to the state of the disc or the equipment used for recording.

MP3:

MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3.

MP3 is a type of audio code which is processed by significant compression from the original audio source with very little loss in sound quality.

The MP3 track indicator will light up when an MP3 track is read. This system supports MPEG 1 Layer 3 and VBR files.

During VBR file playback, time counter in the display may differ from its actual playback time.

Bitrate which is supported by MP3 is 32 ~ 320 kbps.

WMA:

WMA files are ASF (Advanced System Format) audio files which are compressed with Windows Media Audio codec. WMA is de- veloped by Microsoft as an audio format file for Windows Media Player.

The WMA track indicator will light up when a WMA track is read. Supported bit rates for WMA files range from 64 kbps to 160 kbps.
