4-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3),
WMA (Windows Media Audio) and
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)
are audio compression standards.
This system can play
MP3/WMA/AAC files on CD-
R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW
discs and USB memory.
This system can play disc recordings
compatible 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
session/border when using multi
session/border compatible discs.
MP3 files are compatible with the
ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and
Ver. 2.3 formats. This system cannot
display disc title, track title and artist
name in other formats.
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.
m3u playlists are not compatible
with the audio player.
MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3-
PRO formats are not compatible
with the audio player.
The player is compatible with VBR
(Variable Bit Rate).
When playing back files recorded
as VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the
play time will not be correctly dis-
played if the fast forward 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 levels deep can be played.
However, the start of playback may
be delayed when using discs con-
taining numerous levels of folders.
For this reason, we recommend cre-
ating discs with no more than 2 lev-
els of folders.

■MP3
MP3 is an audio compression stan-
dard determined by a working
group (MPEG) of the ISO (Interna-
tional Standard Organization). MP3
compresses audio data to about
1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
■WMA
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is
an audio compression format devel-
oped by Microsoft®. It compresses
files into a size smaller than that of
MP3 files. The decoding formats for
WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and 9.
