MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this unit is limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency / 8 - 48kHz (MP3) 32 - 48kHz (WMA)
2. Bit rate / within 8 - 320kbps (include VBR) (MP3) 64 - 160kbps (WMA)
3. CD-R/CD-RW physical format should be "ISO 9660"
4. If you record MP3/WMA files using software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example "Direct-CD" etc., it is impossible to playback MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use "Easy-CD Creator" which creates an ISO9660 file system.

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3/WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
