Playing MP3 Discs

This Unit is able to play CD-R or CD-RW discs recorded in MP3 format.

Regarding MP3 discs

• MP3 files are audio data compressed in MPEG1 Audio layer 3 file format. "MP3 files" have ".mp3" as exten-
sions.
• Some files that have ".mp3" extensions or files that have not been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise
or cannot be played.
• Some discs cannot be played depending on the actual CD-R/CD-RW disc condition, the recording equip-
ment and the disc's recording.
• Data on the CD-R or CD-RW disc, which has not been recorded in MP3 format, audio tracks or has been
recorded in other file formats except MP3, cannot be played.

Playing MP3 discs

• Discs that have more than 1000 folders and files in total cannot be played.
• Some MP3 files are not played in the order they were recorded.
• The number of layers, which can be recognized, including files and folders, is maximum 8.
• Only the first session of a multi-session disc can be played.
• When both audio tracks and MP3 files are recorded on a disc, audio tracks will be played.
• Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take time.
(The more files there are, the longer the reading time. Therefore it is recommended to lower the number of
folders before recording.)
• Folder or track (file) names are limited to 8 characters. The folder / file names are displayed in half-size,
capital letters or half-size numbers. Folder or track (file) names that go over 8 characters will be abbreviated.
• Depending on the character or symbol, MP3 folders or files have their names replaced, for example:
SHARP_1 → SHARPO1, SHARP
• The playing time may not be correctly displayed during MP3 file playback.
• It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data recorded at fast speed can produce noise and
may not be able to be played.
CAUTION
• It is impossible to make a digital copy by using a digital audio recording device which outputs sound from discs in MP3
format through the coaxial digital output jack of this Unit.
