MP3 Recording Notes

About MP3
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the ".mp3" file extension "MP3 files".
The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than ".mp3".
MP3 Disc compatibility with this player is limit-
ed as follows:
1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz.
2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps.
3. CD-R physical format should be "ISO 9660"
4. If you record MP3 files using the software which
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example "Direct-
CD" etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We
recommend that you use "Easy-CD Creator", which
creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first
track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it can-
not playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new
one.
6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less
and must incorporate ".mp3" extension
e.g. "********.MP3".
7. Do not use special letters such as "/ : * ? " < > " etc.
8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than
650.
This DVD/VCR Receiver requires discs/recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are auto-
matically set to these standards. There are many differ-
ent types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R
containing MP3 files). They require certain pre-existing
conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.
Customers should also note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 files and music
from the Internet. Our company has no right to
grant such permission. Permission should always
be sought from the copyright owner.
