INTRODUCTION
This section only describes MP3 CD player operation
variants: as concerns Radio, Compact Disc and CD
Changer operation refer to section “Radio with
Compact Disc player”.
NOTE MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology
licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson multimedia.
IMPORTANT The CD player can read most of the
compression systems currently on sale (e.g.: LAME,
BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER); however, due to the
evolution of these systems, reading of all compression
formats is not guaranteed.
MP3 MODE
In addition to standard audio CDs, the sound system
can also play audio files in MP3 format. Sound system
will operate as described in the previous section
(“Radio with Compact Disc player”) when inserting a
conventional audio CD.For optimal playing use only top quality CDs mastered
at the as low as possible speed.
Proper operation is not guaranteed when using R/RW
CDs not properly mastered and/or with max. capacity
exceeding 650 MB.
MP3 CD is structured as follows:
❒main directory with/without MP3 tracks;
❒sub-directories of the main directory with/without
“sub-directories” and/or MP3 tracks;
❒“sub-directories” with/without other “sub-
directories” and/or MP3 tracks;
See an example of a MP3 CD directory on next page.
