Requirements regarding MP3 discs

There are many different MP3 formats. When creating an MP3 disc please keep to the format information stated below. If you decide to use a different format, you may find that the disc does not play, or the sound is distorted and interrupted during playback. A typical MP3 CD contains a very large number of music tracks, so it may take more than ten seconds for the disc player to read the MP3-CD.

If you insert a multi-session disc, please note that the player only supports the first ”session”.

Compatibility with recordable media

The K1can play recordable (CD-R, DVD-R) and rewritable (CD-RW, DVD-RW) discs (see Specification), provided that they are in accordance with the general standard for CD-Audio and DVD-Video discs.

There are now so many different types of blank discs, disc recorders (burners) and burning software that it is not possible to guarantee general compatibility.

If you encounter a compatibility problem, we recommend that you try using different blank discs, a different burner or different burning software.
