MP3 / WMA Overview
This unit can play back files recorded in MP3 or WMA format
on CD-ROM, CD-R (recordable) or CD-RW (rewritable) discs.
There are some limitations on the files and media that can be
used, so before recording files on a disc please carefully read
the following information.
Sampling rates are supported as follows.
Packet Write Method
With this method, tracks are sub-divided into packets depend-
ing on availability of space on the disc. Additional writing of
data is possible.
MPEG 1
MPEG 2
MPEG 2.5
48k
24k
12k
44.1k
22.05k
11.03k
32k
16k
8k
In the case of WMA files, play back is possible only for files
encoded with a compression bit rate of at least 64kbps and
a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz.
Display Information Limitations
ISO9660 Format
• Please note that the unit cannot play files encoded using
the WMA copyright protection function.
• When playing WMA files, song, album and artist tags can-
not be displayed.
• The unit allows the playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs
containing a mixture of music CD data (CD-DA), MP3 and
WMA files. However playback of both types of data is pos-
sible only for Mixed Mode CDs/CD Extra created using Disc
at Once Method. (See below.)
• The unit also supports files compressed using VBR (vari-
able bit rate).
• The unit does not always play back MP3 and WMA files in
the order in which they were recorded.
• When many folders are recorded on a disc, the time required
to fetch information from the disc becomes longer.
• The unit can display folder and file names, ID3 Tags of length
up to 64 characters including the extension. However, cer-
tain special symbols may not display correctly.
• During playback of MP3 and WMA files, there may be occa-
sions when the elapsed playback time is not correctly dis-
played.
The unit can play back data recorded in ISO9660 format.
ISO9660 is an international standard for representative CD-
ROM file formats determined by ISO (International Standard
Organization).
The media formats that can be used by the unit include Level
1, Level 2 and the extension format known as Joliet.
Important Points
What are MP3 and WMA?
• Please take care not to append the extensions for MP3 and
WMA files onto files of any other type.When a disc contain-
ing such files is played, the files will be incorrectly recog-
nized and played back.This will result in extremely loud noise
that may damage the speakers.
• Depending on the state of the disc or recorder or writing
software used to write on the disc, there may be cases when
the disc cannot be correctly played back. In such cases
please refer to the user manual for the tools you are using.
• When using a Macintosh personal computer, the file exten-
sion will not be added, so please add the extension “.mp3”
to the end of the file name.
• An MP3 file stores audio data compressed using the “MPEG
1 / 2 audio layer-3” file format. We call files that have the
“.mp3” extension “MP3 files”. Likewise for WMA files. WMA
is an abbreviation for Windows Media Audio.WMA files have
the extension “.wma” and are compatible with MP3 files.
• The unit cannot read files that have a file extension differ-
ent from “.mp3” or “.wma”.
• The unit cannot read files without an extension even if the
files are MP3 or WMA files.
Furthermore even if a file has an “.mp3” or “.wma” exten-
sion, the unit cannot read the file if is not recorded with the
MP3 or WMA data format.
•
We recommend that multi-session discs be limited to 10 sessions.
The packet write method is not supported.
The following three methods are used to record data (files)
on a disc. As the unit does not support the “Packet Write”
method please be aware of this.
• This unit does not support WAVE files.
The unit supports discs recorded with the “Disc at Once” and
“Track at Once” methods.
• This unit does not support m3u playlists.
• The unit does not support “Emphasis”. (See “Glossary” on
page 17.)
Playback Limitations
• The number of tracks and number of albums (folder) that
can be played back from a disc are as follows.
Disc at Once Method
With this method, all the data to be written is prepared in ad-
vance and then recorded on the disc in one go. Additional
writing of data is not possible.
Tracks
: About 250 depending on file contents.
Albums(folder)
:
A maximum of 250 depending on the num-
ber of tracks.
The unit also recognizes up to eight album(folder) levels.
• The unit can playback MP3 files with compression bit rates
from 32kbps~320kbps. However for the best balance of file
space and sound quality we recommend 128kbps. When
files compressed at less than 128kbps are played back, the
sound may have breaks in it.
Track at Once Method
With this method, data is written in file (track) units. Addi-
tional writing of data is possible.

Note Concerning Bit Rate and Record Time
Please refer to the following general guide concerning the bit
rate used when encoding and the overall time of a file re-
corded on disc.
Before recording on a disc, please carefully read the soft-
ware instructions and ensure you use it correctly.
When Creating Discs
About Recommended CD-R and CD-RW Media
Files will not always be played back in the order in which they
were recorded. When you want to ensure that files will be
played back in the order they were recorded, please write
onto the disc paying attention to the points below.
• Use writing software that can write MP3/WMA files on the
disc in the order of the file (track) names. Please check with
the software developers concerning the behavior and op-
eration of the writing software.
• Prefix numbers to the names of folders (albums) and files
(tracks) to arrange them in order. Shown below is a good
example (2 or three digits correctly entered.) and a bad ex-
ample (if the number of digits is not the same for all names,
the names will not be ordered correctly.)
With some CD-R and CD-RW media, data may not be prop-
erly written depending on their manufacturing quality. In this
case, data may not also be reproduced correctly. We recom-
mend the media manufactured by the following companies:

The term multisession refers to the method of recording the
data for two or more sessions on a single disc. We recom-
mend that this unit be used for up to 10 sessions.
Types of CD
• Audio CD(CD-DA)
This is the format used for audio CDs that can be played on
ordinary audio CD players. It is also called CD-DA (Com-
pact Disc Digital Audio).
Glossary
Bit rate
The bit rate expresses the amount of information transferred
per second as a number of bits. The greater the quantity of
information, the higher the bit rate.
The unit is “bits/second”. “kbps” indicates “kilo (1,000) bits/
second”.
Structure of Folder Hierarchy
To keep data within a computer organized, related files may
be put into a folder, but in addition to files, a folder may also
have other folders put into it. Folder B may be put into folder
A, and folder C may be put into folder B so as to create a
“hierarchical structure”.The number of hierarchical levels that
can be recognized differs depending on the computer operat-
ing system. ISO9660 specifies up to 8 levels.
• ISO9660 Format CD-ROM
ISO9660 is a CD-ROM standard file system determined by
ISO (International Organization for Standardization). CD-
ROMs with this format can be played by Windows and
Macintosh operating systems and also by UNIX operating
systems.
Emphasis
The software used for recording has an “emphasis” capabil-
ity, which when turned on writes emphasis attributes on to
the audio track.When the emphasis bit is set the sound has a
smooth characteristic. However, at the current time almost all
CD players lack support for this function. It is no problem to
play back an audio track recorded with emphasis on with a
player not supporting emphasis.
• HFS Format CD-ROM
This is a CD-ROM conforming to the HFS (Hierarchical File
System) used by Macintosh Mac OS.
VBR (Variable Bit Rate)
MP3 files are normally encoded with a fixed bit rate (eg
128kbps etc.), however VBR encoding during which the bit
rate is varied while encoding is also possible. That is to say,
during periods of violent variation of sound the bit rate is in-
creased and during soundless periods the bit rate is de-
creased. Encoding in this way allows file size to be curbed
while maintaining high sound quality. However, some players
do not support VBR, so caution is required when using VBR.
• Hybrid CD-ROM
This is a CD-ROM containing a mixture of ISO9660 format
files and HFS format files.
• Mixed Mode CD
This is a CD-ROM containing both data files and audio files
on the one disc.
Mixed Mode CD is a standard developed for personal com-
puter use so the audio files on the CD cannot be played
with CD players that do not support Mixed Mode CD.
Extension
In Windows and DOS personal computers, several charac-
ters are placed at the end of each file name to indicate the
type of file.
The extension consists of a period followed by three alphanu-
meric characters.The extension differs depending on file type.
The extension for MP3 files is “.mp3”.
• CD Extra (Enhanced CD)
This differs from Mixed Mode CD in that the audio files are
followed on the disc by data files. CD Extra was standard-
ized by Sony and Philips to allow the audio files to be played
with an audio CD player and the data files to be read by a
personal computer.
ID3 Tags
This is a data format that allows a file name, title and artist
name etc. to be added to MP3 files.
This unit supports SONG ALBUM and ARTIST for Versions
1.0/1.1/2.2 and 2.3.
ID3 Tags are not supported for WMA files.
Multi-Session
When data is written on a CD-R disc, the data written from
the time writing starts until the time writing finishes is regarded
as a bundle called a session. The Track at Once Method al-
lows data to be added to a single disc one track at a time,
with each recording of a track being a single session.
