01 Before you start Compressed Audio Compatibility • This unit will play CD-ROM discs containing files saved in the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format (MP3) with a sampling rate of 44.1 or 48kHz. Incompatible files will not play and UNPLAYABLE will be displayed on the unit. • Fixed bit-rate files are recommended. Variable bit-rate (VBR) files are playable, but playing time may not be shown correctly. • The CD-ROM used to compile your MP3 files must be ISO 9660 Level 2 compliant. • CD physical format: Mode1, Mode2 XA Form1. • This player only plays tracks that are named with the file extension ".mp3" or ".MP3". • This player is compatible with multisession discs, but only plays sessions that are closed. • Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your MP3 files. • This player can recognize a combined total of up to 250 tracks and folders. If a disc containing over 250 tracks/folders is loaded, only the first 250 tracks/folders recorded on the disc will be playable. • Folder and track names (excluding the ".mp3" extension) are displayed. • There are many different recording bitrates available to encode your MP3 files. This unit was designed to be compatible with all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close to regular CD Audio quality. This player will play lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, but please note that the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-rates. PC Created Disc Compatibility • If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a "compatible format" as listed above, there will be cases in which the disc may not be playable in this machine due to the setting of the application software used to create the disc. In these particular instances, check with the software publisher for more detailed information. • Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW software disc boxes for additional compatibility information. 12 En
