What Is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of “MPEG-1 Audio 
Layer 3”. MPEG is an abbreviation of “Motion 
Picture	Experts	Group”,	and	is	a	video	
compression standard used in video CDs, etc.
MP3 is one of the audio compression methods 
contained in the MPEG audio standard, and 
reduces the quality of sounds that are beyond 
the auditory resolution of the human ear 
and that are hidden by louder sounds, thus 
creating high-quality audio with a lower data 
size.
Since this can compress CD audio to 
approximately	1/10	of	its	original	data	size	
without	perceptible	loss,	approximately	10	
CDs can be written to a single CD-R/RW disc.
CAUTION
•	 MP3	files	different	to	the	standards	at	right may not play back correctly, or 
file/folder	names	may	not	be	displayed	
correctly.
Standards for MP3 Files That Can Be Played Back
Specifications	for	MP3	files	that	can	be	played	are	shown	below.
* For Equipment by type	(vehicles	with	a	Bluetooth®	2.0	interface),	refer	to	the	vehicle's	users	manual	(Bluetooth® 
2.0 interface).
