INFORMATION AND ADVICE
The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3, is an audio compression standard which permits the recording of several tens of music fi les on a single disc.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording it is preferable to select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet. If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played correctly. It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) for optimum sound quality. In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is recommended.
The audio equipment will only play fi les with the extension ".mp3" with a sampling rate of 22.05 KHz or 44.1 KHz. No o ther type of fi le (.wma, .mp4, .m3u...) can be played.
It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters without using special characters (e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any play ing or displaying problems.
Insert circular compact discs only. Some anti-pirating systems, on original discs or CDs copied using a personal recorder, may generate malfunctions regardless of the quality of the original player. Insert an audio CD or an MP3 compilation in the pl ayer, play begins automatically.
If the player already contains a disc, press the SOURCE button several times in succession and select CD to listen to it.
Press one of the buttons to select a track on the CD. Press the LIST button to display the list of tracks on the CD or of the directories of the MP3 compilation.
The playing and displaying of an MP3 compilation m ay depend on the recording programme and/or the parameter settin gs used. We recommend use of the ISO 9660 recording standard.
