Playing MP3/WMA discs

The RDV-03 can play MP3 or WMA, from
most CD-R and CD-RW discs. These discs,
often recorded on computer drives, have a
file structure similar to computer discs, with
files stored in folders.
Here are few tips when recording your own
discs:
• Select "ISO 9660" as the disc format.
• Record MP3 files at a 44.1 kHz sampling
rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.
Files must have an .MP3 file extension.
• Record WMA files with the copyright
feature off with a bit rate of 64 kbps or
higher. Files recorded at less than 48
kpbs cannot be played. Files must have
a .WMA file extension.

ing (UDF file)" discs.

640 x 480 pixels. Larger images take
longer to display. The maximum horizon-
tal resolution is 2400 pixels.

ing (UDF file)" discs.

multiple sessions.
