WMA files can contain a WMA tag that
is used in the same way as an ID3
tag. WMA tags carry information such
as track title, artist name.
The emphasis function is available only
when playing MP3/WMA files recorded
at 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. (The system
can play MP3 files with sampling fre-
quencies of 16, 22.05, and 24 kHz.
However, the emphasis function is not
available for files recorded at these fre-
quencies.)
The sound quality of MP3/WMA files
generally improves with higher bit
rates. In order to achieve a reasonable
level of sound quality, discs recorded
with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps are
recommended.
Playable bit rates
MP3 files:
MPEG1 LAYER364 to 320 kbps
MPEG2 LSF LAYER364 to 160 kbps
WMA files:
Ver7, 8 CBR48 to 192 kbps
Ver9 CBR48 to 320 kbps
The MP3/WMA player does not play
back MP3/WMA files from discs record-
er using packet write data transfer
(UDF format). Discs should be re-
corded using pre−mastering" software
rather than packet−write software.
M3u playlists are not compatible with
the audio player.
MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO
formats are not compatible with the au-
dio player.
The MP3 player is compatible with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
When playing back files recorded as
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the play
time will not be correctly displayed if
fast−forward or reverse operations are
used.
It is not possible to check folders that
do not include MP3/WMA files.
MP3/WMA files in folders up to 8 lev-
els deep can be played. However, the
start of playback may be delayed when
using discs containing numerous levels
of folders. For this reason, we recom-
mend creating discs with no more than
two levels of folders.

The play order of the compact disc
with the structure shown on the left is
as follows:
MP3 player (rear seat entertainment sys-
tem)
001.mp3 002.mp3 . . . 006.mp3
MP3/WMA player (front audio system)
001.mp3 002.wma . . . 006.mp3
MP3 player (rear seat entertainment
system)It is possible to play up to
253 folders on one disc.
MP3/WMA player (front audio sys-
tem)It is possible to play up to 192
folders or 255 files on one disc.
The order changes depending on the
PC and MP3/WMA encoding software
you use. CD−R and CD−RW discs
CD−R/CD−RW discs that have not been
subject to the finalizing process" (a
process that allows discs to be played
on a conventional CD player) cannot
be played.
It may not be possible to play CD−
R/CD−RW discs recorded on a music
CD recorder or a personal computer
because of disc characteristics,
scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt,
condensation, etc. on the lens of the
unit.
It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a personal computer de-
pending on the application settings and
the environment. Record with the cor-
rect format. (For details, contact the
appropriate application manufacturers of
the applications.)
CD−R/CD−RW discs may be damaged
by direct exposure to sunlight, high
temperatures or other storage condi-
tions. The unit may be unable to play
some damaged di
scs.
Titles and other text information re-
corded on CD−R/CD−RW disc may not
be displayed by the MP3/WMA player
(in the case of audio data [CD−DA]).
The MP3/WMA player conforms to the
track skip function of the CD−R/CD−
RW disc.
If you insert a CD−RW disc into the
MP3/WMA player, playback will begin
more slowly than with a conventional
CD or CD−R disc.
Read the precautions accompanying
the CD−R/CD−RW discs before use.
Recordings on CD−R/CD−RW cannot
be played using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.

TERMS
Packet write
This is a general term that describes the
process of writing data on−demand to
CD−R, etc., in the same way that data is
written to floppy or hard discs.
Bit rate
Bit rate refers to data volume per second,
or bps units (bits per second). The higher
the rate, the more information is available
to reproduce the sound. The higher the
rate, the better the sound.
Multi−session
Multi−session is a recording method that
allows additional data to be recorded later.
When recording data on a CD−ROM,
CD−R or CD−RW, etc., all data from be-
ginning to end is treated as a single unit
or session. Multi−session is a method of
recording more than 2 sessions on one
disc.
CD−DA
CD−DA is an abbreviation for Compact
Disc Digital Audio. It refers to the uncom-
pressed format of regular CDs. ID3 Tag
This is a method of embedding track−re-
lated information in an MP3 file. This em-
bedded information can include the track
title, the artist’s name, the album title, the
music genre, the year of production, com-
ments and other data. The contents can
be freely edited using software with ID3
tag editing functions. Although the tags
are restricted to the number of characters,
the information can be viewed when the
track is played back.
WMA Tag
WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA tags carry information such as track
title, artist name.
ISO 9660 format
This is the international standard for the
formatting of CD−ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are two
levels of regulations.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (8 charac-
ter file names, with a 3 character file
extension. File names must be composed
of one−byte capital letters and numbers.
The _" symbol may also be included.)Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 charac-
ters (including the separation mark ." and
file extension). Each folder must contain
fewer than 8 hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
File names can include up to 64 charac-
ters.
Romeo:
File names can include up to 128 charac-
ters.
m3u
Playlists created using WINAMP" software
have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3
MP3 is an audio compression standard
determined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza-
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to
about 1/10 the size of that on convention-
al discs.
WMA
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by Micro-
soft. It compresses files into a size small-
er than that of MP3 files. The decoding
formats for WMA files are Ver7, 8, and 9.
