Note about using a DualDisc
The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the
technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA)
format so playback may not be possible.
MP3
The unit can play MP3, a method of compressing audio without
hurting audio quality.
When creating MP3 files to play on this unit

albums.

Between 64 kbps and 320 kbps (stereo).
128 kbps (stereo) is recommended.
• Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for extended
formats).
• The time for reading TOC depends on the number of the tracks, the
folders or folder structures.
Limitations on MP3
• This unit is compatible with multi-sessions but if there are a lot of
sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of
sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
• This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
• If the disc includes both MP3 and normal audio data (CD-DA), the
unit plays the type recorded in the inner part of the disc.
If the disc includes both MP3 and other types of audio data (e.g.
WMA or WAV), the unit plays only the MP3.
• Depending on how you create MP3 files, they may not play in the
order you numbered them or may not play at all.
