Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings About MP3 An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the ".mp3" file extension "MP3 files". The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than ".mp3". About WMA(Window Media Audio) An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression technology. WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio compression of the MP3 format. Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows Logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in both the United States and other countries MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows: 1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz (MP3), 22.05 - 44.1kHz (WMA) 2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps (MP3), 32 - 128kbps (WMA) 3. CD-R physical format should be "ISO 9660" 4. If you record MP3/WMA files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example "Direct-CD" etc., it is impossible to playback MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use "EasyCD Creator", which creates an ISO9660 file system. 5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wish to playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one. 6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate ".mp3" or ".wma" extension e.g. "********.MP3" or "********.WMA". 7. Do not use special letters such as etc. 8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than 650. This DVD player requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback. Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3/WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner. Caution - If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.) 23
