MP3, WMA and WAV files

! MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and
refers to an audio compression technology
standard.

nology that is developed by Microsoft Cor-
poration. WMA data can be encoded by
using Windows Media Player version 7 or
later.
! WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard
audio file format for Windows
! With some applications used to encode
WMA files, this unit may not operate cor-
rectly.
! With some applications used to encode
WMA files, album names and other text in-
formation may not be correctly displayed.
! This unit allows playback of MP3/WMA/
WAV files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW
discs. Disc recordings compatible with
level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the
Romeo and Joliet file system can be played
back.
! It is possible to play back multi-session
compatible recorded discs.
! MP3/WMA/WAV files are not compatible
with packet write data transfer.
! The maximum number of characters which
can be displayed for a file name, including
the extension (.mp3, .wma or .wav), is 64,
from the first character.
! The maximum number of characters which
can be displayed for a folder name is 64.
! In case of files recorded according to the
Romeo file system, only the first 64 charac-

! When playing discs with MP3/WMA/WAV
files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-
EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types
can be played only by switching mode be-
tween MP3/WMA/WAV and CD-DA.
! The folder selection sequence for playback
and other operations becomes the writing
sequence used by the writing software. For
this reason, the expected sequence at the
time of playback may not coincide with the
actual playback sequence. However, there
also is some writing software which per-
mits setting of the playback order.
! Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge
into one another without a pause. When
these discs are converted to MP3/WMA/
WAV files and burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/
CD-ROM, the files will be played back on
this player with a short pause between
each one, regardless of the length of the
.
®
pause between tracks on the original audio
CD.
