• Standard for playable MP3 files
Supported standard
• Generally, higher bit rates generate higher sound quality. Use of discs recorded at a bit rate
of 128 kbps for MP3 is recommended to enjoy listening to music at a constant sound quality.
• VBR (variable bit rate) is supported as the bit rate.
• Neither free-format nor lossless compression format is supported.
* Extremely large or small files may not playback normally
• Available media
• Media which can be used for playback of MP3 discs is CD-R and CD-RW.
* Some types of CD-R or CD-RW are unplayable because of their higher sensitivity to
hot and humid environments compared to a normal music CD. In addition, discs with
fingerprints or scratches on them may not playback properly or the sound may jump.
• Some types of CD-R or CD-RW may deteriorate when left in a vehicle environment for a
long time.
* CD-R and CD-RW are UV-sensitive media, therefore storing them in a lightproof
package is recommended.
