following places.

• in a high humidity area such as a bathroom

• near a heater

• in an area exposed to direct sunlight

(e.g., inside a parked car, where it can

become extremely hot)

• near sources of strong magnetism, such

as televisions, speakers, or magnets

PLAYBACK OF MP3 DISC

• An MP3 file stores audio data

compressed using MPEG1/2, the audio

layer-3 file-coding scheme.

• In this manual, CDs, CD-R discs and

CD-RW discs are all referred to as

“discs”. We refer to what are called

“folder” and “file” in PC terminology as

“album” and “track”.

Notes on playing MP3 files

• An MP3 track must be recorded on a disc

in the format compliant with ISO 9660.

Note, however, that the unit may not play

tracks in the order they were recorded.

• The maximum allowable number of tracks

and albums in a disc are as follows:

– number of tracks : 512 (depending on the

number of albums)

– number of albums : up to 512 (depending

on the number of tracks)

• The maximum allowable depth of nested

albums is 8.

• E•A•S•S PLUS does not function.

• It may take 30 seconds or more before the

unit can start play of MP3 tracks, depending

on the number of recorded tracks and the

complexity of the album tree.

• If a disc contains audio tracks and MP3

tracks, the unit plays only the audio tracks.

• As for a multi-session disc, up to 10 sessions

are recommended.

• The unit may not play MP3 tracks recorded

using a packet writing utility.

• The unit can play MP3 tracks having a file

extension “.mp3”.

• If you play a non-MP3 track that has the

“.mp3” file extension, you may hear some

noise.

• The sound may skip or mute during

playback of files encoded with bit rate

between 256 kbps and 320 kbps.

Notes on display indications during

play

• Up to 64 characters (including its extension)

are displayed for the name of an album or

a track. If ID3TAG version 1.X was applied

to record additional informations for an

MP3 track, up to 30 characters showing

track title and artist’s name are displayed.

Characters other than uppercase letters

(“A” to “Z”), numerals (“0” to “9”) and an

underscore (_) may not be displayed

correctly or is displayed instead of the

character.

• The elapsed playing time may not be

displayed correctly for MP3 tracks.

ENGLISH

ENGLISH

Notes on creating MP3 discs

When converting audio data to MP3

To enjoy high sound quality, we recommend

storing MP3 files with a sampling frequency

of 44.1 kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps.

To play tracks in the order they were

recorded

1 Use a writing software capable of

recording MP3 tracks (files) in

numerical and alphabetical order.

For details on using the software, refer to

the operating instructions supplied with

the software.

2 Use only one album. (Do not create

a sub-album within an album.)

3 Include a two- or three- digit number

at the beginning of each album or

track name so that the albums and

tracks are played in order.

01XXXXX.mp3

02XXXXX.mp3

03XXXXX.mp3

04XXXXX.mp3

05XXXXX.mp3

1XXXXX.mp3

5XXXXX.mp3

10XXXXX.mp3

15XXXXX.mp3

20XXXXX.mp3

(Numbers at the beginning have

different digit number. The tracks will

not be played in this order but played in

the order of “1”, “10”, “15”, “20” and “5”.)
