■MP3, WMA and AAC files
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is a standard audio compression for-
mat.
Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size
by using MP3 compression.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression for-
mat.
This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of
the MP3 format.
AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and refers to an audio
compression technology standard used with MPEG2 and MPEG4.

ited.

●ID3, WMA and AAC tags
ID3 tags can be added to MP3 file s, making it possible to record
the track title, artist name, etc.
The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3
ID3 tags. (The number of characte rs 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 na me in the same way as with ID3
tags.
AAC tags can be added to AAC files, making it possible to record
the track title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.
● MP3, WMA and AAC playback
When a disc containing MP3, WMA or AAC files is inserted, all
files on the disc are first checked. Once the file check is finished,
the first MP3, WMA or AAC file is played. To make the file check
finish more quickly, we recommend you do not write any files to
the disc other than MP3, WMA or AAC files or create any unnec-
essary folders.
Discs that contain a mixture of music data and MP3, WMA or
AAC format data cannot be played.
● Extensions
If the file extensions .mp3, .w ma and .m4a are used for files
other than MP3, WMA and AAC files, they may be mistakenly
recognized and played as MP3, WMA and AAC files. This may
result in large amounts of in terference and damage to the speak-
ers.
