• The S-301 is compatible with the "MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3"
standards (sampling frequency of 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz). It is not
compatible with such other standards as "MPEG-2 Audio Layer
3", "MPEG-2.5 Audio Layer 3", MP1, MP2, etc. WMA files
recorded with a sampling frequency (fs) of 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz
are supported.

• It may not be possible to play some CD-R/CD-RW discs due to
disc properties, dirt, warping, etc.
• In general, the higher an MP3 file's bit rate, the better the
ENTER sound quality. On the S-301, we recommend using MP3 files
recorded with bit rates of 128 kbps or greater.
• Applicable bit rates: 32 to 320 kbps for MP3 files, 64 k to 160
kbps for WMA files.
• The digital signals output when playing MP3 files are MP3
signals converted into PCM, regardless of whether the audio
output presenting is set to "NORMAL" or "PCM". The signals
are output with the same sampling frequency as that of the

music source.
• MP3/WMA files may not be played in the expected order, since

the writing software may change the position of the folders and

• When writing MP3/WMA files on CD-R/CD-RW discs, select
"ISO9660 level 1" as the writing software format. This may not
be possible with some types of writing software. For details,
refer to the writing software's usage instructions.
• With the S-301 it is possible to display folder names and file
names on the screen like titles. The S-301 can display up to 31

• If recorded in a format other than "ISO9660 level 1", normal
display and playback may not be possible. In addition, folder
and file names including other symbols will not be displayed
properly.
• Be sure to add the extension ".MP3/WMA" to MP3/WMA files.
Files cannot be played if they have any extension other than
".MP3/WMA" or if they have no extension. (with Macintosh
computers, MP3/WMA files can be played by adding the
extension ".MP3/WMA" after the file name consisting of up to
63 capital letters, small letters or numbers and recording the
files on the CD-R/CD-RW.)
• Do not apply stickers, tape, etc., to either the label side or the
signal side of CD-R/CD-RW discs. If adhesive gets on the
surface of a disc, the disc may get stuck inside the S-301 and
be impossible to eject.
• Copyright protected WMA files cannot be played. Also note
that depending on the writing software and conditions,
playback might not be possible, or the files might not be
displayed properly.
• While in the stop condition, the DISPLAY button of the remote
control can be used to switch and display the title names and
the artist names. (One folder has a capacity of up to 99 files.)
• Recorded discs with no more than 99 files per folder are
recommended. Multiple folder configurations are possible;
however, depending on the configuration, playback of all the
folders and files might not be possible.
• Multi-session discs and CD-R/CD-RW that have not been
finalized can also be played back; however, playback of discs
that have had session closure within 10 sessions or have been
finalized is recommended.
• Direct track selection using the NUMBER buttons on the remote
control unit can specify up to 999 tracks (999 files) per folder.
• When 999 tracks are exceeded, while the unit is stopped press
the CURSOR buttons at the disc information screen to select the
files, and press the button of the ENTER button to play.
