Notes on MP3 Recordings

About MP3

An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”. The DVD/CD receiver can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this receiver is limited as follows:

1.Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz

2.Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps

3.CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

4.If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct- CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

5.A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it can- not playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

6.File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate “.mp3” extension

e.g. “********.MP3”.

7.Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.

8.Total number of files on the disc should be less than 650.

This DVD/CD receiver requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music
