MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA
(Windows Media Audio) and AAC
(Advanced Audio Coding) are audio com -
pression standards.
 Thi
s system can play MP3/WMA/AAC files
on CD-R, CD-RW discs and USB memory.
 Thi
s system can play disc recordings com -
patible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2
and with th e Romeo and Joliet file system.
 When
naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file, add
an appropriate file extension (.mp3/.wma/
.m4a).
 Thi
s system plays back files with .mp3/
.wma/.m4a file extensions as MP3/WMA/
AAC files respectively. To prevent noise
and playback errors, use the appropriate
file extension.
 Thi
s system can play only the first session
when using multi-session compatible CDs.
 MP3 f
iles are compatible with the ID3 Tag
Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 for -
mats. This system cannot display disc
ti
tle, track title and artist name in other for -
mats.
 WMA/
AAC files can contain a WMA/AAC
tag that is used in the same way as an ID3
tag. WMA/AAC 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.
 Thi
s system can play back AAC files
encoded by iTunes.
 The s
ound quality of MP3/WMA files gen -
erally improves with higher bit rates. In
order t o achieve a reasonable level of
sound quality, discs recorded with a bit
rate of at least 128 kbps are recom -
mended.
 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
sof

tware.
 M3u pl
aylists are not compatible with the
audio player.
 MP3i
(MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO for -mats are not compatible with the audio
player.

6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
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 rewind operations are used.
 It
is not possible to check folders that do
not include MP3/WMA/AAC files.
 MP3/
WMA/AAC 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 recommend
creating discs with no more than 2 levels
of folders. 
The
play order of the compact disc with
the structure shown above is as follows:
 The
order changes depending on the per -
sonal computer and MP3/WMA/AAC
enco ding software you use.
001.mp3
002.wma

003.mp3Folder 2

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 writ -
ten to floppy or hard discs.
 Thi
s is a method of embedding track-
related information in an MP3 file. This
embedded information can include the
track number, track title, the artist’s name,
the album title, the music genre, the year
of production, comments, cover art and
other data. The contents can be freely
edited using software with ID3 tag editing
functions. Although the tags are restricted
to a number of characters, the information
can be viewed when the track is played
back.
 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.
 Thi
s is the international standard for the
formatting of CD-ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are 2 lev -
els of regulations.
 L
evel 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (8
character file names, with a 3 character
file extension. File names must be com -
posed of one-byte capital letters and num -
bers. The “_” symbol may also be
i

ncluded.)
 L
evel 2: The file name can have up to 31
characters (including the separation mark
“.” and file extension). Each folder must
contain fewer than 8 hierarchies. 
MP3 i
s an audio compression standard
determined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza -
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to
abou
t 1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
 WMA (Wi
ndows Media Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by
Micro soft
®. It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files. The decod -
ing formats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and
9. Thi
