Playing MP3 CDs

The system can play MP3 music files recorded on CD-R and
CD-RW discs. To play, pause, stop or eject an MP3 CD, use the
same remote control buttons as for an audio CD.
You can easily navigate through your music files using the
Tune/MP3 and Seek/Track remote control buttons.
• Press Tune/MP3 < to skip to the previous
folder.
• Press Tune/MP3 > to skip to the next folder.

beginning of the previous track.

When navigating an MP3 CD, folder number and track number are
displayed:

Folder number Track number
Note: The Root level is displayed as folder number 00.
Once the track begins playing, artist name, song title, and elapsed
track time will return to the display:
Selected source Clock time
Artist name and
song title
Notes:
• The system will display artist name and song title information
when available on music file CDs.
• The audio quality of MP3 CDs is dependent on factors such as
the encoded bit rate, the sampling rate, and the type of encoder
used. The system supports MP3 CDs encoded at bit rates of
64kbps or higher, and sampling rates of 32kHz or higher. It is
recommended that a bit rate of at least 128kbps and a sampling
rate of 44.1kHz or better be used.
• Playback quality of recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs is
dependent on the CD recording process and software used
to record the disc. An improperly recorded audio CD may cause
the system to exhibit unexpected behavior.
