Subaru STARLINK Manual page 110

● The player is compatible with VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
● MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA (Windows Media
Audio) and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) are audio
compression standards.
● This system can play MP3/WMA/AAC files on CD-R,
CD-RW discs, USB memory, SD card*, and Bluetooth
device.
*: With navigation function
● This system can play disc recordings compatible with
ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2 and with the Romeo and
Joliet file system.
● When naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an
appropriate file extension (.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
● This system plays back files with .mp3/.wma/.m4a
file extensions as MP3/WMA/AAC files respectively.
To prevent noise and playback errors, use the
appropriate file extension.
● This system can play only the first session when
using multi-session compatible CDs.
● MP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0,
Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats. This system
cannot display disc title, track title and artist name in
other formats.
TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM
● WMA/AAC files can contain a WMA/AAC tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags
carry information such as track title and artist name.
● This system can play back AAC files encoded by
iTunes.
● The sound quality of MP3/WMA files generally
improves with higher bit rates. In order to achieve a
reasonable level of sound quality, discs recorded with
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps are recommended.
● The MP3/WMA player does not play back MP3/
WMA files from discs recorded using packet write
data transfer (UDF format). Discs should be recorded
using "pre-mastering" software rather than packet-
write software.
● M3u playlists are not compatible with the audio
device.
● MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO formats are not
compatible with the audio device.
● When playing back files recorded as VBR (Variable
Bit Rate) files, the play time will not be correctly
displayed if the fast forward or rewind operations are
used.
● It is not possible to check folders that do not include
MP3/WMA/AAC files.
