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-3file format. We call files that have the  
.mp3extension MP3 files. Likewise for WMA files. WMA  
is an abbreviation for Windows Media Audio.WMA files have  
the extension .wmaand are compatible with MP3 files.  
The unit cannot read files that have a file extension differ-  
ent from .mp3or .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 .mp3or .wmaexten-  
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 Onceand  
Track at Oncemethods.  
This unit does not support m3u playlists.  
The unit does not support Emphasis. (See Glossaryon  
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:  
CD-R Media  
TDK USA Corp., Taiyo Yuden (U.S.A.), Inc., Ricoh Corpora-

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. kbpsindicates 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 emphasiscapabil-  
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.
