Notes on MP3 Discs

About MP3
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1,
the 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".
The player can not read a fake MP3 file that has a
file extension ".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 software which cannot
create a FILE SYSTEM, for example "Direct-CD"
etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We there-
fore 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 cannot
playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new
one.
6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please
use finished CD-R discs only.
7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less
and must incorporate the ".mp3" extension
e.g. "********.MP3".
8. Do not use special characters such as "_?!><+*}{`[@
]:;\/.," etc.
9. Total number of files on the disc should be less than
200.
10. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M), do not use 80
minute CD-R (700M) software.
This DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically
set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 files).
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.
