CD-R MP3/WMA file  
When you record MP3 or WMA files on a CD-R for  
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps  
playback in this unit, please refer to the following.  
when recording WMA files.  
Sound quality with WMA files basically depends on the rate  
of compression/decompression you choose.  
Getting CD audio sound requires an analog/digital sampling  
rate, that is conversion to WMA format, of at least 64Kbps  
and up to 192Kbps.  
- Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET  
format.  
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are  
compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and with  
Apple's Mac. This format is the most widely used.  
Conversely, files with decompression rates below 64Kbps  
or over 192Kbps will not be played properly.  
The sampling rate that can be supported for WMA files is  
>30-Khz  
- When naming your MP3 or WMA files, do not exceed 8  
characters, and enter “.mp3, .wma” as the file  
extension.  
- Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.  
Certain "secured" files are encrypted and code protected  
to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following  
types: Windows Media (registered trade mark of Microsoft  
Inc) and SDMI (registered trade mark of The SDMI  
Foundation). You cannot copy such files.  
General name format : Title.mp3. or Title.wma. When  
composing your title, make sure that you use 8 characters  
or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of  
special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).  
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps  
when recording MP3 files.  
- Important:  
The above recommendations cannot be taken as a  
guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3 recordings, or  
as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that  
certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on  
CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD  
player (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability  
of the player to read the files).  
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate  
of compression/decompression you choose. Getting CD  
audio sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that  
is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128 Kbps and up to  
160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192  
Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality.  
Conversely, files with decompression rates below 128 Kbps  
will not be played properly.  
- This unit can play a maximum of 500 files and 500 folders  
per disc.
