MP3/WMA Play
CD-R MP3/WMA discs
If you insert an MP3/WMA Disc into
the DVD-VCR, you can see the folder directory.
When playing CD-R/MP3 or WMA discs,
please follow all the recommendations for
CD-R above, plus the comments below:
Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO
9660 or JOLIET format.
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA
files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS
and Windows, and with Apple's Mac. These
two formats are the most widely used.
When naming your MP3 or WMA files do
not exceed 8 characters, and place
".mp3, .wma" as the file extension.
General name format of: Title.mp3. or
Title.wma. When composing your title,
make sure that you use 8 characters or
less, have no spaces in the name, and
avoid the use of special characters
including: (.,/,\,=,+).
Use a decompression transfer rate of at
least 128Kbps when recording MP3 files.
Sound quality with MP3 files basically
depends on the rate of compression
/decompression you choose. Getting audio
CD quality sound requires an analog/digital
sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3
format, of at least 128Kbps and up to
160Kbps. However, choosing higher rates,
like 192Kbps or more, only rarely give
better sound quality. Conversely, files with
decompression rates below 128Kbps will
not be played properly.
Use a decompression transfer rate of at
least 64Kbps when recording WMA files.
Sound quality with WMA files basically
depends on the rate of compression
/decompression you choose. Getting audio
CD quality sound requires an analog/digital
sampling rate, that is conversion to WMA
format, of at least 64Kbps and up to
192Kbps. Conversely, files with decompression rates below 64Kbps or over 192Kbps
will not be played properly.
Do not try recording copyright protected
MP3 files.
Certain "securized" files are encrypted and
code protected to prevent illegal copying.
These files are of the following types:
Windows MediaTM (registered trade mark
of Microsoft Inc) and SDMITM (Registered
trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You
cannot copy such files.
Important :
The above recommendations cannot be
taken as a guarantee that the DVD-VCR
will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that
certain technologies and methods for MP3
file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal
playback of these files on your DVD
player (degraded sound quality and in some
cases, inability of the player to read the
files).
