Notes on playing MP3 (KDC-M7024)

This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). Note,

however, that the MP3 recording media and formats acceptable

are limited. When writing MP3, pay attention to the following

restrictions.

When you use your CD writer to record MP3 up to the maximum disc

capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up

to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.

Entering ID3 tag

The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3

version 1.x.

Acceptable media

The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R,

and CD-RW.

For the character code, refer to the

List of Codes.

When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent

malfunction.

Entering file and folder names

The code list characters are the only

file names and folder names that can

be entered and displayed.

If you use any other character for

entry, the file and folder names are

Acceptable medium formats

The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The

maximum number of characters used for file name including the

delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in

parentheses.

neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD writer used.

The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 which have the MP3

extension (.MP3).

A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list may not

play correctly.

Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format.

For a list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the

The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:

• Maximum number of directory levels: 8

• Maximum number of files per folder: 255

• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64

• Maximum number of folders: 50

Writing files into a medium

When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the

data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-

MP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing

MP3.

In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or

a File Search or Folder Search may not be performed smoothly.

MP3 written in the formats other than the above may not be

successfully played and their file names or folder names are not

properly displayed.

Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.

• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the

MP3 extension.

The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 data as long as they have

the MP3 extension.

Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer

Do the following setting when compressing audio data in MP3 data

with the MP3 encoder.

• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.

• Transfer bit rate: 8 —320 kbps

• Sampling frequency:

8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
