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
and artist name.
The emphasis function is available only
when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at
32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.

The sound quality of MP3/WMA files gen-
erally 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 recom-
mended.
MP3 files for MP3 player:

*: Variable Bit Rate
The MP3/WMA player does not play back
MP3/WMA files from discs recorded using
packet write data transfer (UDF format).
Discs should be recorded using “pre-mas-
tering” software rather than packet-write
software.
M3u playlists are not compatible with the
audio player.
MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO for-
mats are not compatible with the audio
player.
The player is compatible with VBR (Vari-
able Bit Rate).
When playing back files recorded as VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if the fast for-
ward 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 levels
deep can be played. However, the start of
playback may be delayed when using
discs containing numerous levels of fold-
ers. For this reason, we recommend creat-
ing discs with no more than 2 levels of
folders.

● A USB memory or iPod must be con-
nected to enable track searching and
playback. (See “USB MEMORY OPER-
ATION” on page 237 and “iPod OPERA-
TION” on page 242.)
● When a USB memory or iPod is con-
nected, recognition data is created so
tracks can be searched using voice
commands.
● Recognition data is updated under the
following conditions:
• When the USB memory or iPod data
has changed.
• When the voice recognition language is changed. (See page 46.)
● While the recognition data is being cre-
ated or being updated, a track search

nition technology, this system enables
recognition of a command when spo-
ken naturally. However, the system
cannot recognize every variation of

is possible to omit the command for the
procedure and directly state the de-
sired operation. Not all voice com-
mands are displayed in the short cut
menu.

Phone”, “Play Music” and “Get Informa-
tion” commands displayed on the “Short-

shown based on the part of the com-
mand that was recognized.)
