MP3 and WMA File Playback
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) or WMA
(Windows media audio) is a standard
technology and format for compressing
audio data. This allows a more efficient
use of the media.
You can play MP3 files recorded on
CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW formats. The
disc must be in the ISO 9660 level 1 or level
2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the
expansion format. You can also use a disc
recorded in multi session.
ISO 9660 Format
This is the most common international
standard for the logical format of files and
folders on a CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. In
Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3
format (no more than eight characters in
the name, no more than three characters
in the extension .MP3 and .WMA) and in
capital letters.
Folder names can be no longer than eight
characters. There can be no more than
eight folder levels (trees). Level 2
specifications allow file names up to 31
characters long.
Each folder can have up to eight trees.

Audio System
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion
format, consider these restrictions when
configuring your CD writing software.
Multi Session
This is a recording method that enables
adding of data using the track-at-once
method.
Conventional CDs begin at a CD control
area called the lead-in and end at an area
called lead-out. A multi session CD is a CD
having multiple sessions, with each
segment from lead-in to lead-out regarded
as a single session.
CD-Extra: The format that records audio
(audio CD data) as tracks on session 1, and
records data as tracks on session 2.
Mixed CD: In this format, data is recorded
as track 1 and audio (audio CD data) is
recorded as track 2.
File Formats
With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1
and level 2, folder names or file names may
not be displayed correctly.
When naming, be sure to add the file
extension .MP3 or .WMA to the file name.
If you put the extension .MP3 or .WMA to
a file other than MP3 or WMA, the unit
cannot recognize the file correctly and will
generate random noise that could damage
your speakers.
The following discs take a longer time to
start playback.
• A disc recorded with complicated tree
structure.
• A disc recorded in multi session.
• A non-finalized disc to which data can
be added.
