Compressed Audio Files (MP3, WMA AND
ACC)
The DVD player is capable of playing MP3 (MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 with data bitrates from 32 to 320 kbit/s,
including variable bit rates), WMA (All Standard 8.x,
9.x Windows Media Audio) and ACC (MPEG-4 audio;
sampling frequencies 8 to 48 kHz; mono and stereo)
audio files with the from a CD Data disc (usually a
CD-R or CD-RW).
• The DVD player always uses the file extension todetermine the audio format, so MP3 files must always
end with the extension ".mp3" or ".MP3", WMA files
must always end with the extension ".wma" or
"WMA", and ACC files must end with the extensions
“.acc” or “.m4a”. To prevent incorrect playback, do
not use these extensions for any other types of files.
• For MP3 files, ID3 tag data v1, v1.1, v2 and v2.4 (such as artist name, track title, album, etc.) are supported.
• Any file that is copy protected (such as those down- loaded from many online music stores) will not play.
The DVD player will automatically skip the file and
begin playing the next available file.
• Other compression formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro, Ogg Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not play. The DVD
player will automatically skip the file and begin playing
the next available file. •If you are creating your own files, the recommended
fixed bit rate for MP3 files is between 96 and 192Kbps
and the recommended fixed bit rate for WMA files is
between 64 and 192Kbps. Variable bit rates are also
supported. For both formats, the recommended
sample rate is either 44.1kHz or 48kHz.
• To change the current file, use the remote control’s
or DVD player’s ▴button to advance to the next file,
or the ▾button to return to the start of the current
or previous file.
• To change the current directory, use the remote control’s PROG UP and Down buttons or Rewind/
skip back and fast fwd/skip forward.
Disc Errors
If the DVD player is unable to read the disc, a "Disc
Error" message is displayed on the Radio display and
the disc is automatically ejected. A dirty, damaged, or
incompatible disc format are all potential causes for a
"Disc Error" message.
If a disc has a damaged track which results in audible or
visible errors that persists for 2.0 seconds, the DVD
player will attempt to continue playing the disc by
skipping forward 1.0 to 3.0 seconds at a time. If the end
of the disc is reached, the DVD player will return to the
beginning of the disc and attempt to play the start of
the first track.
