6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM
HIGHLANDER_Navi_U
■COMPATIBLE CHANNEL MODES
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA
(Windows Media Audio) and AAC
(Advanced Audio Coding) are audio com-
pression standards.
 This system can play MP3/WMA/AAC files
on CD-R/CD-RW discs and USB memory.
 This system can play disc recordings com-
patible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2
and with the Romeo and Joliet file system
and UDF (2.01 or lower).
 When naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file, add
an appropriate file extension (.mp3/.wma/
.m4a).
 This 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.
 This system can play only the first ses-
sion/border when using multi-session/bor-
der compatible discs.
 MP3 files 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
title, 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 files.
 This system can play back AAC files
encoded by iTunes. 
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.
 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/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.

MP3 AND WMA FILES
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is a stan-
dard audio compression format. Files
can be compressed to approximately
1/10 of their original size by using MP3
compression.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Mi-
crosoft audio compression format. This
format compresses audio data to a
size smaller than that of the MP3 for-
mat.
There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA
file standards and to the media/formats
recorded by them that can be used.

Compatible media
Media that can be used for MP3 and WMA
playback:
• CD-ROM/R/RW
•DVD-ROM/R/RW
Playback in some instances may not be
possible, depending on the status of the
disc. Playback may not be possible or the
audio may jump if the disc is scratched or
marked with fingerprints.
 Compatible disc formats
The following disc formats can be used.
• Disc formats: CD-ROM Mode 1, CD-
ROM XA Mode 2 Form 1
• File formats: ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2 (Romeo, Joliet), UDF (2.01 or lower)
MP3 and WMA files written in any format
other than those listed above may not
play correctly, and their file names and
folder names may not be displayed cor-
rectly.
Items related to standards and limitations
are as follows.
• Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels
• Maximum length of folder names/file names: 20 characters
• Maximum number of folders: 255
(including the root)
• Maximum number of files per disc: 512
 File names
• The only files that can be recognized as
MP3/WMA and played are those with the
extension .mp3 or .wma.
 Multi-sessions
As the audio system is compatible with
multi-sessions, it is possible to play discs
that contain MP3 and WMA files.
 ID3 and WMA tags
ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, mak-
ing it possible to record the track title, art-
ist name, etc.
The system is compatible with ID3 Ver.
1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.3 ID3 tags. (The num-
ber of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0
and 1.1.)
WMA tags can be added to WMA files,
making it possible to record the track title
and artist name in the same way as with
ID3 tags. 
MP3 and WMA playback
When a disc containing MP3 or WMA files
is inserted, all files on the disc are first
checked. Once the file check is finished,
the first MP3 or WMA file is played. To
make the file check finish more quickly, we
recommend you do not write in any files
other than MP3 or WMA files or create any
unnecessary folders.
If the discs contain a mixture of music data
and MP3 or WMA format data, only music
data can be played.
 Extensions
If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are
used for files other than MP3 and WMA
files, they will be mistakenly recognized
and played as MP3 and WMA files. This
may result in large amounts of interfer-
ence and damage to the speakers.
 Playback
• To play MP3 files with steady sound
quality, we recommend a fixed bit rate of
128 kbps and a sampling frequency of
44.1 kHz.
• Playback may not be possible in some instances, depending on the characteris-
tics of the disc.
• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3 and
WMA files on the market, and depending
on the status of the encoding and the file
format, poor sound quality or noise at the
start of playback may result. In some
cases, playback may not be possible at
all.
• When files other than MP3 or WMA files
are recorded on a disc, it may take more
time to recognize the disc and in some
cases, playback may not be possible at
all.
