2705-4. Playing audio CDs and MP3/WMA discs
CT200h_OM_OM76174U_(U)
●File names
The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played are those with the
extension .mp3 or .wma.
●Discs containing multi-session recordings
As the audio system is compatible with multi- sessions, it is possible to play discs that
contain MP3 and WMA files. However, only the first session can be played.
●ID3 and WMA tags
ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track title, artist
name, etc.
The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3 ID3 tags. (The number
of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)
WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record the track title and
artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.
●MP3 and WMA playback
When a disc containing MP3 or WMA files is inserted, all files on the disc are first
checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3 or WMA file is played. To make
the file check finish more quickly, we recommend you do not write in any files other
than MP3 or WMA files or create any unnecessary folders.
Discs that contain a mixture of music data and MP3 or WMA format data cannot be
played.
●Extensions
If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and WMA files,
they will be mistakenly recognized and play ed as MP3 and WMA files. This may result
in large amounts of interference and damage to the speakers.
●Playback
• To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit rate of at least 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
• CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be poss ible in some instances, depending on
the characteristics of the disc.
• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3 and WMA
files on the market, and depending on the status of the encoding and the file format,
poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback may result. In some cases, play-
back may not be possible at all.
• When files other than MP3 or WMA files are recorded on a disc, it may take more time to recognize the disc and in some cases, playback may not be possible at all.
• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trademarks of
Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries.
