4-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
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 rea-
sonable level of sound quality, discs
recorded with a bit rate of at least
128 kbps are recommended.
m3u playlists are not compatible
with the audio player.
MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3-
PRO formats are not compatible
with the audio player.
The player is compatible with VBR
(Variable Bit Rate).
When playing back files recorded
as VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the
play time will not be correctly dis-
played if the fast forward or reverse
operations are used.
It is not possible to check folders
that do not include
MP3/WMA/AAC files.
MP3/WMA/AAC files in folders up
to 8 levels deep can be played.
However, the start of playback may
be delayed when using discs con-
taining numerous levels of folders.
For this reason, we recommend cre-
ating discs with no more than 2 lev-
els of folders.
The play order of the compact disc
with the structure shown above is as
follows:
The order changes depending on
the personal computer and
MP3/WMA/AAC encoding soft-
ware you use.
