Sony D-NS707F Portable CD Player User Manual


 
File structures of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs
ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs consist of
“les” and “groups.” A “le” is equivalent
to a “track” of an audio CD. A “group”
is a bundle of les and is equivalent to an
“album.”
For MP3 CDs, this CD player recognizes an
MP3 folder as a “group” so that ATRAC CDs
and MP3 CDs can be operated in the same
way.
The usable number of groups and les
– maximum number of groups: 255
– maximum number of les: 999
Playing order of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs
For ATRAC CDs, les are played in the order
selected in SonicStage.
For MP3 CDs, the playing order may differ
depending on the method used to record
MP3 les on the disc. A “play list” which
contains an MP3 le playing order can also
be recorded. In the following example, les
are played in order of to .

Notes
• If ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 les and MP3 les are
recorded on the same CD, this CD player plays the
ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 les rst.
• The playback capability of this CD player may
vary depending on the quality of the disc and the
condition of the recording device.
• Acceptable characters are A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9,
and _(underscore).
• On a disc that has ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3/MP3
les, do not save les in other formats and do not
make unnecessary folders.
About ATRAC CDs
• CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus/
ATRAC3 format cannot be played on your
computer.
About MP3 CDs
• Be sure to add the le extension “mp3” to the le
name. However, if you add the extension “mp3”
to a le other than an MP3 le, the player will not
be able to recognize the le properly.
• This CD player can play bit rates of 16 to 320
kbps and sampling frequencies of 32/44.1/48 kHz.
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) les can also be played.
• To compress a source in an MP3 le, we
recommend setting the compression parameters to
“44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and “Constant Bit Rate.”
• To record up to the maximum capacity, set the
writing software to “halting of writing.”
• To record up to the maximum capacity at one time
on media that has nothing recorded on it, set the
writing software to “Disc at Once.”
