Notes on CD-R and CD-RW discs

This unit can play the following discs:

Type of discs Label on the disc

• Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the equipment used

for their recording or the condition of the disc) may not

play on this player.

• You cannot play a CD-R/CD-RW that is not finalized*.

*A process necessary for a recorded CD-R/CD-RW disc to

be played on the audio CD player.

About MP3 files

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard technology

and format for compressing a sound sequence. The file

is compressed to about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds

outside the range of human hearing are compressed

while the sounds we can hear are not compressed.

Playback of some MP3 files may not be possible,

depending on the encoding.

The encoding method (i.e., the bit rate selected for

encoding) will affect the sound quality of the MP3 files

created. The bit rate typically used for MP3 files is

128 kbps.

Audio CD

MP3 files

(continued)

GB

FR

Notes on discs

You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs

(recordable CDs), and CD-RWs (rewritable CDs).

The disc must be in the ISO 9660*

1

level 1 or level 2

format, or Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format.

You can use a disc recorded in Multi Session*

2

.

*

1

ISO 9660 Format

The most common international standard for the

logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM.

There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file

names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than eight

characters in the name, no more than three

characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital

letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight

characters. There can be no more than eight nested

folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names

up to 31 characters long.

Each folder can have up to 8 trees.

For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format, make

sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.

*

2

Multi Session

This is a recording method that enables adding of

data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional

CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in

and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session

CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each

segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a

single session.

CD-EXTRA: A format in which CD-DA (audio) data

are recorded in the tracks of session 1 and computer

data in the tracks of session 2.

Mixed CD: A format in which computer data are

recorded in the first track and CD-DA (audio) data in

the following tracks within a session.

4

GB

The playback order of the MP3 files

The playback order of the folders and files is as

follows:

Notes

•A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.

• When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a longer

time to start playback.

We recommend that you make only one or two trees for

each disc.

• Maximum folder number: 150 (including root folder and

empty folders)

• Maximum total number of MP3 files and folders: 300

• The CD player can play the MP3 files in a folder whose

depth in the folder tree is up to 8.

Tip

To specify a desired playback order, before the folder or file

name, input the order by number (e.g., “01”, “02”), then

record contents onto a disc. (The order differs depending on

the writing software.)

Note on playback of MP3 files

Depending on the encoding/writing software, recording

device, or the recording media used at the time an MP3 file is

recorded, you may encounter such problems as disabled

playback, sound interruptions, and noise.

Notes

• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1, folder names or

file names may not be displayed correctly.

• When naming, be sure to add the file extension “.MP3” to

the file name.

• If you up the extension “.MP3” to a file other than MP3, the

unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate

random noise that could damage your speakers.

• The following discs take a longer time to start playback.

–a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.

–a disc recorded in Multi Session.

–a disc to which data can be added (non-finalized disc).

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi

Session

CD-DA (audio) data or MP3 files stored on a Multi Session

CD may be subject to some restrictions on playback.

– If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is recognized

as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and playback continues until an

MP3 session is encountered.

– If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is recognized as

an MP3 disc, and playback continues until a CD-DA

(audio) session is encountered.

– The playback range of an MP3 disc is determined by the

tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc.

–A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized as a

CD-DA (audio) disc.
