Audio System
Operating Tips for MP3
MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3,
which is standardized voice compression
established by the ISO
*1 working group
(MPEG).
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be
compressed to approximately a tenth of
the source data size.
This unit plays files with the extension
(.mp3) as MP3 files.
*1 International Or ganization for
Standardization
CAUTION
Do not use an audio file extension on
files other than audio files. In addition,
do not change the audio file extension.
Otherwise, the unit will not recognize
the file correctly resulting in noise or a
malfunction.
