or MP3. Use an audio recording disc for CD-DA and
finalize* it when you finish recording.
The unit may not be able to play some discs due to the
condition of the recording.
* A process performed after recording that enables
CD-R/CD-RW players to play audio CD-R and CD-RW.
Caution

• use irregularly shaped CDs.
• attach extra labels and stickers.
• use CDs with labels and stickers that are coming off or
with adhesive exuding from under labels and stickers.
• attach scratch-proof covers or any other kind of
accessories.
• write anything on the CD.
• clean CDs with liquids (Wipe with a soft, dry cloth).
Note about using a DualDisc
The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet
the technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital
Audio (CD-DA) format so playback may not be possible.
MP3
The unit can play MP3, a method of compressing audio
without hurting audio quality.
When creating MP3 files to play on this unit
• Maximum number of tracks and albums: 999 tracks and
256 albums.
• Compatible compression rate:
Between 64 kbps and 320 kbps (stereo).
128 kbps (stereo) is recommended.
• Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for
extended formats).
• The time for reading TOC depends on the number of the
tracks, the folders or folder structures.
Limitations on MP3
• This unit is compatible with multi-sessions but if there
are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start.
Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
• This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
• If the disc includes both MP3 and normal audio data
(CD-DA), the unit plays the type recorded in the inner
part of the disc.
If the disc includes both MP3 and other types of audio
data (e.g. WMA or WAV), the unit plays only the MP3.
• Depending on how you create MP3 files, they may not
play in the order you numeric them or may not play at all.
