Playing Mp3 Files - Denon Professional DN-300CR Quick Start Manual

Playing MP3 files

When playing back an MP3 disc, you can use either of two modes: a mode in which all MP3 files on
the disc can be played, or "directory mode" in which only the MP3 files in a specific directory (folder)
will be available for playback.
Playing back all MP3 files
1. Insert a disc into the unit with the label side up. The display will indicate Loading.
Warning: MP3 files converted at a sampling rate other than 44.1 kHz cannot be played correctly.
The recommended format is a 44.1 kHz sampling rate and a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher.
• For a disc on which MP3 files are stored, each MP3 file is handled as a "track."
• Even if the MP3 disc is internally divided into multiple directories (a hierarchical structure), all
MP3 files, including those in sub-directories and sub-sub-directories, will be read.
• Track numbers are assigned automatically, starting with MP3 files in the root directory (the
top level of the disc).
2. To begin playback, press the Play button. The MP3 file will play.
• You can select songs in the same way as when operating a conventional disc.
• You can use program playback and repeat playback (except A-B repeat playback) in the
same way as on a conventional disc.
Specifying a directory for playback
A directory (also called a "folder") is a hierarchical level on CD media or hard disk.
If directory mode is on, only the files within the selected directory will be the target of Continue or
Single Playback modes.
If directory mode is off, the directory structure of the disc is ignored, and all MP3 files on the disc will
be subject to all playback modes.
• For a disc on which MP3 files are stored, each MP3 file is handled as a "track."
• Directories that do not contain MP3 files cannot be selected for operations.
Warning: If you turn directory mode on, MP3 files in the root directory cannot be played.
Recording
Before you record
• The CD specification allows no more than 99 tracks (songs) to be recorded on a disc. Also, it is
not possible to record a song that is shorter than four seconds.
• If you press the Stop button or Pause button less than four seconds after you start recording,
the recorder will stop or enter record-ready mode only after four seconds have elapsed. Silence
will be recorded during this time.
• If the number of songs reaches 99 during recording, the display will indicate "Disc Full" and
"Loading" and then the recorder will stop.
• If the available recording time of the disc is completely used up while recording, a fade-out will
be performed. Then the display will indicate "Disc Full" and the recorder will stop.
• If you insert a disc that has been partially recorded (and not yet finalized), recording will continue
following the already-recorded portion.
• If you want to record additional material on a CD-RW that has already been finalized, you can
un-finalize the disc (see the User Guide for more details).
