Tips for making WMA/MP3/JPEG and MPEG4 discs (For CD-R/CD-RW)

●Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).
- This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
- When there are more than 8 groups, the eighth group onwards will be displayed on one vertical line in the menu screen.
- There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen and computer screen.
- This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.

Naming folders and files

(Files are treated as content and folders are treated as groups on this unit.)

At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names. This should be with numbers that have an equal number of digits, and should be done in the order you want to play them (this may not work at times).

Files must have the extension:
".WMA" or ".wma"
".MP3" or ".mp3"
".JPG", ".jpg", ".JPEG" or ".jpeg"
".ASF" or ".asf"

e.g. MP3

CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media)

A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio files. This unit supports CPPM.

Down-mixing

This is a process of remixing the multi-channel audio (surround sound) on some discs into two channels. When you want to listen to the audio on a DVD with a 5.1 channel digital surround track through your television speakers, the down-mixed audio will be output.

Some DVD-Audio prevent down-mixing of all or part of their contents. When playing such discs, or such parts of disc, unless the number of connected speakers is the same as the disc's channel specification, audio will not be output properly.

HDCD (High-Definition Compatible Digital)

HDCD-encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20 bits, as compared with 16 bits for all other CDs.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-definition video output (720p,1080i) from HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-definition video a high definition compatible television is required.

MPEG4

A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows highly efficient recording at a low bit rate.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.
