Music sources playable on this CD player

You can play the following 3 music sources on this CD player:

• Audio CDs (CDDA format)
• CDs with ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format files (ATRAC CD)
• CDs with MP3 format files (MP3 CD)

Usable disc formats

You can use ISO 9660 Level 1/2 and Joliet extension format discs only.

About CD-Rs/RWs

This CD player can play CD-Rs/RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3, MP3 or CDDA* format, but playback capability may vary depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording device.

* CDDA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is a recording standard used for the Audio CDs.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Notes

• This CD player cannot record music content on recordable media, such as CD-Rs/RWs.
• CD-Rs/RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format cannot be played on your computer.

ATRAC3plus and ATRAC3

“ATRAC3plus,” which stands for “Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3plus” is audio compression technology, developed from the ATRAC3 format. Though the ATRAC3plus format can compress music content to about 1/20 of its original size at 64 kbps, you can still enjoy high quality sound. The available transfer bit rates are 256 kbps, 64 kbps and 48 kbps.

“ATRAC3,” which stands for “Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3” is audio compression technology that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates. The ATRAC3 format can compress music content to about 1/10 of their original size, which contributes to reduction of the media volume. The available transfer bit rates are 132 kbps, 105 kbps and 66 kbps.

The usable number of groups and files

• Maximum number of groups: 255
• Maximum number of files: 999

For details, refer to the supplied booklet “SonicStage Simple Burner.”

Note on saving files on the media

Do not save files in other formats (except MP3 files) and do not make unnecessary folders on a disc that has ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 files.

MP3

MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer3, a standard for audio files compression supported by the Motion Picture Experts Group, an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) working group, enables compression of audio files to about 1/10 of the data size of a standard compact disc.

The major specifications of the acceptable disc format are:

• Maximum directory levels: 8
- Acceptable characters: A - Z, a- z, 0 - 9, _ (underscore)

Notes

• When naming files, be sure to add the file extension "mp3" to the file name.
• If you add the extension “mp3” to a file other than an MP3 file, the player will not be able to recognize the file properly.

(Continued)

The usable number of groups and files

• Maximum number of groups: 255
• Maximum number of files: 999

Settings for compression and writing software

- This CD player is able to play MP3 files with the following specifications: Bit rate: 16 - 320 kbps, and sampling frequencies: 32/44.1/ 48 kHz. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) file can also be played.

To compress a source for an MP3 file, we recommend setting the compression software to “44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and “Constant Bit Rate.”

• To record up to the maximum capacity, set to “halting of writing.”
• To record at one time up to the maximum capacity on media that has nothing recorded on it, set to “Disc at Once.”

Notes on saving files on the media

• Do not save files in other formats (except MP3/ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format files) or unnecessary folders on a disc that has MP3 files.
• When a disc is inserted, the CD player reads all the information of folders and files on that disc. If there are many folders on the disc, it may take a long time for play to begin or for the next file to start playback.

The structure of ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 and MP3 files

Groups and folders

The ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format has a very simple structure. It consists of “files” and “groups.” A “file” is equivalent to a “track” of an audio CD. A “group” is a bundle of files and is equivalent to an “album.” A “group” has no directory-type structure (a new group cannot be made within an existing group).

When referring to MP3 CDs, a “file” is equivalent to a “track” and a “group” is equivalent to an “album.” This CD player is designed to recognize an MP3 folder as a “group” so that it can play CD-Rs/RWs recorded in both the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format and those recorded in the MP3 format with the same operation.
