Playing Discs (CD/MP3) (continued)
Notes on MP3
19
20
This player allows you to play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs
(Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable).
What is MP3?
Folder selection order/MP3 file playback order (Example)

MP3, short for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 LSF (Low Sampling Frequency), is a standard
for compressing digital video data adopted for video CDs and similar media. It is one of the audio compression
systems covered by MPEG’s (Motion Picture Experts Group) digital audio compression standards. What it
does is reduce the number of bytes in a song without detracting from the sound quality by eliminating big
sound waves within the sound range that is imperceptible to the human ear. This compression allows you to
reduce the contents of a conventional music CD by a factor of around 10. This means that you can record the
contents of 10 music CDs on a single CD-R or CD-RW. (The figures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R
or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)
Note:
≥ This unit counts the number of folders
irrespective of the presence or absence of MP3
file.
≥ If the selected folder does not contain any
MP3 files, the nearest MP3 files in the order of
playback will be played.
≥ Playback order may be different from other
MP3 players even if the same disc is used.
≥ “ROOT” appears when displaying the root
folder’s folder name.

Points to Remember When Recording an MP3 Disc
Converting (encoding) audio data to an MP3 file
Maximum number of files/folders
≥ It is recommended that you set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more” and “Fixed”.
≥ Bit rate 8 kbps of MPEG-2 and sampling frequency 16 kHz of MPEG-2 can not be reproduced.
≥ VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not supported.
≥ The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding software and the bit rate. For details refer to
the user manual of your encoding software.
≥ Maximum number of trees: 8
≥ Maximum number of folders: 254 (Root folder is not included.)
≥ Maximum number of files: 512
Recording MP3 files on a CD-R/RW
≥ Do not record files other than MP3s or unnecessary folders on a disc. If many folders or files other than
MP3s are recorded on a disc, it may take some time before playback starts.
≥ Use ISO 9660 file system (Extension of the ISO 9660 file systems are included.) (page 63). APPLE HFS
file system is not supported. If they do not conform to ISO 9660 file system, the file may not play normally,
or the file or folder names may not be displayed correctly.
≥ Make sure to add the “.mp3” extension to each MP3 file name. A file with a different file name extension
or none at all will not play.
≥ Although Multi session recording is supported, the use of Disc-at-Once is recommended. Make sure to
close the session when you finished recording on a disc.
≥ A disc recorded by the packet writing software are not supported.
≥ A playlist function is not supported. Record files and folders in the order in which you want them to be played.
Some writing software lets you specify the recording order by adding a prefix in the range of “01”j“99”, etc.
to the file name. For details refer to the user manual of your writing software.
Caution:
≥ Do not assign the “.mp3” file name extension to a file that is not in the MP3 format. This may
produce noise from the speakers and cause speaker damage and can damage your hearing.
Note:
≥ You may encounter trouble in playing MP3s or displaying the information of MP3 files recorded with certain
writing softwares or CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives).
≥ If a disc contains both MP3 and CD-DA, only CD-DA data is reproduced properly. (MP3 files are played but
no sound is output.)
