! When playing discs with MP3/WMA/WAV
files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-
EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types
can be played only by switching mode be-
tween MP3/WMA/WAV and CD-DA.
! The folder selection sequence for playback
and other operations becomes the writing
sequence used by the writing software. For
this reason, the expected sequence at the
time of playback may not coincide with the
actual playback sequence. However, there
also is some writing software which per-
mits setting of the playback order.
! Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge
into one another without a pause. When
these discs are converted to MP3/WMA/
WAV files and burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/
CD-ROM, the files will be played back on
this player with a short pause between
each one, regardless of the length of the
pause between tracks on the original audio
CD.
Important
! When naming an MP3/WMA/WAV file, add
the corresponding filename extension (.mp3,
.wma or.wav).
! This unit plays back files with the filename ex-
tension (.mp3, .wma or .wav) as an MP3/
WMA/WAV file. To prevent noise and malfunc-
tions, do not use these extensions for files
other than MP3/WMA/WAV files.
MP3 additional information
! Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.
1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 formats for display
of album (disc title), track (track title), artist
(track artist) and comments. Ver. 2.x of ID3
Tag is given priority when both Ver. 1.x and
Ver. 2.x exist.
! The emphasis function is valid only when
MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequen-
cies are played back. (16, 22.05, 24, 32,
44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be
played back.)
! There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
! There is no compatibility with the MP3i
(MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO formats.
! The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-
comes better with an increased bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we
recommend using only discs recorded with
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
WMA additional information
! WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio
and refers to an audio compression tech-
nology that is developed by Microsoft Cor-
poration. WMA data can be encoded by
using Windows Media Player version 7 or
later.
! You can only play back WMA files in the fre-
quencies 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.
! The sound quality of WMA files generally
becomes better with an increased bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 48 kbps to 320 kbps (CBR) or from 48
kbps to 384 kbps (VBR), but in order to be
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we
recommend using discs recorded with a
higher bit rate.
