Making and playing MP3 files

MP3 files created by recording broadcasts, records, audio recordings, video recordings or live
performances cannot be used for purposes other than personal entertainment without
permission of the copyright holder as set forth in copyright law.

Downloading from Internet MP3 music sites

There are many kinds of sites that distribute MP3 files on the Internet, such as "pay per
download" online shopping sites, "try before you buy" listening sites and free download sites.
Follow the rules for each site (such as paying fees) and download according to site
instructions.
Prepare a computer with commercially available MP3 encoding software (conversion
software). (Some encoding programs available on the Internet do not require payment.) Music
data files in MP3 format can be made by inserting the music CD into the CD-ROM drive of the
computer and following the procedures of the MP3 encoding software to compress the songs
of the music CD. A 12cm music CD (having a maximum of 74 minutes of recording/650MB of
data) can be compressed to 65MB (about 1/10 of the original size).
MP3 files can be recorded on CD-R/RW by using a CD-R/RW drive connected to a computer.
Record by setting the recording format of the recording software to ISO9660 level 1 or level 2
(not including extension format).
Select CD-ROM (mode 1) for the disc format. Discs recorded with CD-ROM xA (mode 2)
cannot be played on this deck.
Insert a CD-R/RW containing recorded MP3 files. The system will automatically determine
whether the disc is a music CD or a CD-R/RW with MP3 files and begin playing the disc. A
music CD recorded onto a CD-R/RW can also be played. However, depending on the type of
disc being used, playback may not be possible.
●A fixed bit rate of 128kbps and sampling frequency of 44.1kHz is recommended
for obtaining stable audio quality at playback.
●Depending on the characteristics of a disc, the system may not be able to read
CD-R and CD-RW discs.
●Because there are many types of MP3 encoding software available, including
commercial and freeware programs, audio quality may deteriorate, noise may be
generated when playing starts and some recordings may not play, depending on
the condition of the encoder and the file format.
●When files other than MP3 files are recorded on a disc, the system may take
some time to recognize the disc or it may not play.
