MP3 FILE PLAYBACK
On audio units fitted with a 6-disc CD player,
you can play CDs co ntaining MP3 files.
MP3 discs have the potential to hold more
music than a conventional CD, because each
track can be compressed to a higher degree
during recording.
If you record your own music, each session
must be properly closed but the whole disc
does not have to be finalised.
Some pre-recorded and personally-recorded
discs, can contain additional information on
the disc, e.g. CD titles, track titles and the
artist's name (this info rmation is contained in
ID3 Tags).
Additional touch-screen controls enable you to
select folders and tracks and display various
items of information about the recordings.
Note: A mixture of CDs and MP3 discs can be
loaded into the 6-disc CD player together.
Note: The audio system will play MP3, WMA,
WAV and AAC files. The highest compression
rate supported, is 320k bits per second (kbps).
If anything less than 128 kbps is used, Digital
Signal Processing (DSP) functionality may be
lost.
Note: The CD player is not guaranteed to play
every disc available because of variation in the
quality of discs.
Using MP3 discs
When an MP3 disc is first played, the first track
in the root folder will play first. If you restart
play after switching to another disc or audio
source, then play will resume from the point
you left it.
Note: The CD player may take a long time (one
minute or more) to load an MP3 disc, owing to
the number of tracks on it. To minimise the
loading on the system, a rigid folder structure
is recommended.
If the MP3 disc has been recorded with the
music files contained with in folders, additional
information is available by selecting Folders.
A list of folders and files is displayed on the
touch-screen. The titles of any folders and
tracks recorded on the CD, will be displayed in
alphabetical order, even when the disc has
been recorded in a different order.
CAUTION
Copyright laws vary in different
countries; please check the laws in your
country if you want to record from copyright
source material.

CDDA tracks will be trea ted as a CD (any MP3
tracks will be ignored).
