Playing MP3 Discs
MP3 (MPEG-3) is a format used to compress digital audio. Since the audio
is compressed, it takes up less space.
MP3PRO files
Your DVD player uses NUON chip technology to play MP3PRO audio files. MP3PRO files are
more compact than MP3 files and provide better sound quality at lower bit rates. MP3PRO
audio technology is both forwards and backwards compatible with MP3.
Obtaining MP3 and MP3PRO Files
There are two ways to obtain MP3 files:
•
Use your computer software to encode MP3 files from an audio CD — you can download
the software from some internet sites such as MusicMatch.
•
Download MP3 files from the internet. Some internet sites allow you to download MP3
files for free, and some charge a fee.
Creating an mp3 Disc on Your Computer
Your DVD player handles MPEG-1, layer III audio and MP3PRO audio. If you encode your own
MP3 files from an audio CD, avoid using the features of MPEG-2, such as the 22kHz sampling
frequency.
Be sure to make a data CD rather than an audio CD. If you make an audio CD,you will lose the
extra features and compression of the MP3 format.
Notes:
Help — For more information regarding MP3 encoding software and MP3 sites, visit www.lyrazone.com.
The Joliet file system is not recommended. Using the Joliet file system may result in shortened file names.
Some transport modes (reverse and fast forward) are not available for MP3 CDs.

The MP3 Display
MP3 discs contain individual songs that can be
organized into folders — similar to how you use your
computer to put documents (files) into different
folders when you burn them onto the CD. The
contents of a folder can either be songs or more
folders (subdirectories).
Note: There isn't an Info Display when playing MP3 files.
