After disc loading, the play mode is automatically engaged. What is MP3/WMA? MP3 is an audio compression method and classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. WMA is an audio compression method developed by Microsoft Corporation. These audio compression methods have penetrated into PC users and become a standard format. These features compress the original audio data to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high sound quality. This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs. Note:

• Some CDs recorded on CD-R/RW mode may not be usable. Displaying MP3/WMA TAG titles Tag information such as title, artist and album title can be displayed for an MP3/WMA file containing Tag information. Precautions when creating an MP3 disc File extensions

1. Always add a file extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”

to an MP3 file, and “.WMA” or “.wma” to a WMA file by using single byte letters. If you add a file extension other than specified or forget to add these file extension, the file cannot be played. In addition, if you use upper case and lower case letters (capital and small letters) mixedly for file extensions, normal play may not be possible.

2. Files other than MP3/WMA data cannot be

played. Playing files with a format not supported will be skipped, and the scan, random and repeat playback mode may be canceled. Logical format (File system)

1. When writing an MP3/WMA file on a disc,

please select “ISO9660 level 1 or level 2 (without including expansion format)” as the writing software format. Normal playback may not be possible if the disc is recorded on another format.

2. The folder name and file name can be

displayed as the title during MP3/WMA play but the title must be within 31 single byte alphabetical letters and numerals for the folder name and file name (including an extension). Entering more letters or numerals than specified may cause an incorrect display. Folder structure

1. A disc with a folder having more than 8

hierarchical levels will conflict with the ISO9660 and playback will be impossible. Number of files or folders

1. The maximum allowable number of folders is

255 (including root directory); the maximum allowable number of files is 512 (max. 255 per folder). This represents the maximum number of tracks that can be played back.

2. Tracks are played in the order that they were

recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not always be played in the order displayed on the PC.)

• Some noise may occur depending on the type of encoder software used while recording.

• In case of a track recorded at VBR (variable bit rate), the display for the play time of the track may be slightly different from the actual play time. Also, the recommended value of VBR ranges from 32 kbps to 320 kbps.

• After disc selection, the play mode is automatically engaged. Note:
• If Tag information was entered with 2-byte characters, it may occur that the characters are not reproduced properly on the display.

• MP3/WMA files that the DRM (Digital Rights Management) function is set cannot be played.
