lThis unit can play MP3 files that have
been recorded in bit rates of 8 kbps to
320 kbps. Nonetheless, to insure
enjoyment of music with consistent
sound quality, it is recommended to use
discs that have been recorded at a bit
rate of 128 kbps or more.
lIf a disc has both music data (CD-DA)
and MP3 files, playback of the two file
types differs depending on how the
disc was recorded.
lPacket written discs cannot be played
on this unit.
lThis unit does not play CDs recorded
using MP3i (MP3 interactive), MP3
PRO and RIFF MP3 formats.
About folders and files
lThe order of hierarchy for MP3 files
and folders during playback or other
functions is from shallow to deep. The
arrangement and playing order of a
recorded disc containing MP3 files is
as follows:
lFile number
A numerical file number is assigned
to each file in a folder in the order of
hierarchy from shallow to deep.
lFolder number
A numerical folder number is
assigned to each folder in the order
of hierarchy from shallow to deep.
NOTE
Folders and tracks (files) within the same
hierarchy play in the order they were written to
the disc depending on the write software.
05

Folder
No.
Level1
Level2Level3
Level4
Playback may not occur in the above
hierarchy depending on the audio unit.: Track (File) : Folder
lThe folder order is automatically
assigned and this order cannot be
optionally set.
lAny folder without an MP3 file will be
ignored. (It will be skipped and the
folder number will not be displayed.)
lMP3 files not conforming to the MP3
format containing both header frames
and data frames will be skipped and
not played.
lThis unit will play MP3 files that have
up to eight levels. However, the more
levels a disc has, the longer it will take
to initially start playing. It is
recommended to record discs with two
levels or less.
lA single disc with up to 512 files can
be played and a single folder with up to
255 files can be played.
lWhen naming an MP3 file, be sure to

Specialized glossary
MP3
Abbreviation for“MPEG Audio Layer 3”.
A technical standard for audio
compression as decided by an ISO
(International Organization for
Standardization) MPEG working group.
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be
compressed to approximately a tenth of
the source data size.
ISO 9660
An international standard for logical
formatting of CD-ROM files and folders.
It is divided into three separate levels
based on differences in file naming
procedures, data configuration and other
characteristics.
Multi-session
A session is the complete amount of data
recorded from the beginning to the end of
a single period of CD-ROM, CD-R/CD-
RW data recording. Multi-session refers to
the existence of data from two or more
sessions on a single disc.
Sampling
Refers to the process of encoding analog
audio data at regular intervals and
converting it to digital data. The sampling
rate refers to the number of times a
sample is taken in one second and is
expressed in Hz units. Increasing the
sampling rate improves the sound quality
but also increases the data size.

Bit rate
Refers to the volume of data per second,
expressed in bps (bits per second).
Generally, the larger the number of the
transfer bit rate when compressing an
MP3 file, the more information regarding
musical reproduction it carries, and
therefore the better the sound quality.
Packet writing
A general term for the method, similar to
that used for floppy discs or hard drives,
of recording the required file in a single
increment on a CD-R and similar.
ID3 Tag
ID3 tag is a method for storing
information related to the music in an
MP3 file. Information such as track, artist
and album name can be stored. This
content can be freely edited using ID3
editing function software.
VBR
Abbreviation for Variable Bit Rate. While
CBR (Constant Bit Rate) is generally
used, VBR varies the bit rate for audio
compression according to compression
conditions and this allows for
compression with preference given to
sound quality.
qOperating Tips for WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio
and is the audio compression format used
by Microsoft.
Audio data can be created and stored at a
higher compression ratio than MP3.

registered trademarks of Microsoft
Corporation U.S. in the United States
and other countries.
Playable WMA file specification
CD-R and CD-RW including WMA files
can be played with this unit. Discs which

CAUTION
This unit plays files with the (.wma)
file extension as a WMA file. Do not
use the WMA file extension for files
other than WMA files. It may cause
noise or a malfunction.
lIn a WMA file, the track name, artist
name and album name are recorded
with data called“WMA-Tag”, and the
information can be displayed.
lWMA files which do not comply with
the specific standard may not be played
correctly or its file and folder name
may not be displayed correctly.
lThe file extension may not be provided
depending on the computer operating
system, version, software, or settings.
In this case, add the file extension
“.wma”to the end of the file name, and
then write the disc.
