COLOR SYSTEM SETTING

This unit is designed for the PAL and NTSC color system.

For the setting of color system, refer to "TV TYPE", page 31.

"NTSC": When connecting to a NTSC system TV. (Default)

"PAL": When connecting to a P AL system TV.

"MULTI": When connecting to a multi color system TV.

NOTE

• This unit is designed for the NTSC and P AL systems only. Systems other than NTSC or P AL, for example NTSC 4.43 or SECAM are not suitable for this unit.
• If the color is abnormal or the picture is distorted in MUL TI mode, switch to NTSC or P AL.
• If the disc of the NTSC (P AL) color system is played in P AL (NTSC) setting, sometimes the picture is distorted. This is because of the difference between the P AL and the NTSC format.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MP3

• An MP3 file stores audio data compressed using MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme.
• In this manual, CDs, CD-R discs and CD-R W discs are all referred to as "discs".
• Some files cannot be played back according to the recording conditions of disc.

Notes on playing MP3 files

• An MP3 file must be recorded on a disc in the format compliant with ISO 9660. Note, however, that the unit may not play files in the order they were recorded.
• The maximum allowable number of files in a disc are as follows:
• number of files : 512 (including number of folders)
• The maximum allowable depth of nested folders is 8.
• It may take 30 seconds or more before the unit can start play of MP3 files, depending on the number of recorded files and the complexity of the folder tree.
• A s for a multi-session disc, the unit can play up to 2 sessions.
• The unit may not play MP3 files recorded using a packet writing utility.
• The unit can play MP3 files having a file extension ".mp3".
• If you play a non-MP3 file that has the “.mp3” file extension, you may hear some noise.

Notes on display indications during play

• Up to 11 characters are displayed for the name of a folder or a file. ID3TAG information is not displayed. Characters other than uppercase letters ("A" to "Z"), numerals ("0" to "9") and an underscore (_) may not be displayed correctly.
• The elapsed playing time may not be displayed correctly for MP3 files.

Terminology

• ISO 9660
ISO stands for the "International Organization for Standardization". ISO 9660 determines the file structure for the CD-ROMs. This unit can play MP3 files recorded in the format compliant with ISO 9660.
- Nesting of folders
To organize data files stored in a PC, you can store related files in a folder. A folder can contain other folders as well as files. For example, folder A can contain folder B, and folder B can contain folder C; this is called "nesting of folders". The maximum depth of nested folders, allowed by ISO 9660, is 8.

- Writing utilities There are 3 utilities used to record data on a disc.

1. DAO (Disc At Once) utility
   All data to be written must be prepared in advance and written onto a disc from the beginning to the end in one operation. No data can be added to a disc on which data were already written with DAO utility.
2. TAO (Track At Once) utility Data are written onto a disc file by file. Data can be added to a disc on which data were written with TAO utility.
3. Packet writing utility
   Files are divided into smaller pieces while being recorded, depending on the size of available spaces on the disc. Data can be added to a disc on which data were written with packet writing utility.

This unit can play MP3 discs recorded using DAO and TAO utilities.

- Multi-session

A session is a collection of data, covering from the beginning to the end of recording made in one operation. With TAO (Track At Once) utility, data can be recorded with several operations. A session corresponds to the data recorded in one operation. This unit can play data recorded in the first 2 operations. In other words, the unit can play up to 2 sessions.

SESSION 1 SESSION 2 SESSION 3

- File extension

A 3-character string added to a file name under Windows or DOS environment is called "file extension". A file extension is used mainly to identify types of files. File extension for MP3 files is ".mp3".

Notes on creating MP3 discs

• When converting audio data to MP3
  To enjoy high sound quality, we recommend storing MP3 files with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps.
• When creating MP3 discs

Do not store more than 512 folders and files in a disc.

• T o play files in the order they were recorded

1. Use a writing software capable of recording MP3 files in numerical and alphabetical order. For details on using the software, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the software.
2. Use only one folder. (Do not create a sub-folder within a folder.)
3. Include a two- or three-digit number at the beginning of each folder or file name so that the folders and files are played in order.

01XXXXX.mp3

02XXXXX.mp3

03XXXXX.mp3

04XXXXX.mp3

05XXXXX.mp3

1XXXXX.mp3

5XXXXX.mp3

10XXXXX.mp3

15XXXXX.mp3

20XXXXX.mp3

(Numbers at the beginning have different digit number. The tracks will not be played in this order but played in the order of "1", "10", "15", "20" and "5".)

- Do not record other format (CDDA etc.) in MP3 disc. It may not be played back properly
