Appendix Additional Information ! Playback of discs recorded on a personal computer may not be possible, depending on the application settings and the environment. Please record with the correct format. (For details, contact the manufacturer of the application.) ! Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may become impossible in case of direct exposure to sunlight, high temperatures, or the storage conditions in the vehicle. ! Titles and other text information recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be displayed by this unit (in the case of audio data (CD-DA)). ! If you insert a CD-RW disc into this unit, time to playback will be longer than when you insert a conventional CD or CD-R disc. ! Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW discs before using them. MP3 files ! MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and refers to an audio compression technology standard. ! This unit allows playback of MP3 files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc recordings compatible with level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the Romeo and Joliet file system can be played back. ! It is possible to play back multi-session compatible recorded discs. ! MP3 files are not compatible with packet write data transfer. ! The maximum number of characters which can be displayed for a file name, including the extension (.mp3), is 32 characters from the first character. ! The maximum number of characters which can be displayed for a folder name is 32. ! In case of files recorded according to the Romeo and Joliet file system, only the first 32 characters can be displayed. ! When playing discs with MP3 files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types can be played only by switching mode between MP3 and CD-DA. ! The folder selection sequence for playback and other operations becomes the writing sequence used by the writing software. For this reason, the expected sequence at the time of playback may not coincide with the actual playback sequence. However, there also is some writing software which permits setting of the playback order. ! Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge into one another without a pause. When these discs are converted to MP3 files and burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROM, the files will be played back on this player with a short pause between each one, regardless of the length of the pause between tracks on the original audio CD. ! Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of album (disc title), track (track title) and artist (track artist). ! The emphasis function is valid only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequencies are played back. (16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be played back.) ! There is no m3u playlist compatibility. ! There is no compatibility with the MP3i (MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO formats. ! The sound quality of MP3 files generally be- comes better with an increased bit rate. This unit can play recordings with bit rates from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recommend using only discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps. Important ! When naming an MP3 file, add the corresponding filename extension (.mp3). 102 En
