About MP3

ATTENTION
The making of MP3 files by recording from sources such as broadcasts, records, recordings, videos and live
performances without permission from the copyright holder for uses other than personal enjoyment is
prohibited.

What is MP3?

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio compression technology. By using MP3
a file can be compressed to one-tenth the size of the original.
This equipment has limitations on MP3 file standards and recorded media and formats that can be
used.

ID3 tag

MP3 files have an "ID3 Tag" that allows input of information so that data such as song title and artist
can be saved.
This deck supports ID3v. 1.0, 1.1, 2.2 and 2.3 tags.

Media

Media capable of playing MP3 includes CD-R and CD-RW discs. Compared to CD-ROM media
commonly used for music discs, CD-R and CD-RW discs are fragile in high temperature/high
humidity environments and one section of the CD-R and CD-RW may become incapable of
playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during
playback. Sections of a CD-R and CD-RW may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of
time. It is also recommended that CD-R and CD-RW discs be kept in a light-blocking case because
the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.
