Playing order of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs For ATRAC CDs, files are played in the order selected in SonicStage. For MP3 CDs, the playing order may differ depending on the method used to record MP3 files on the disc. In the following example, files are played in order of 1 to 7.

Variable Bit Rate (VBR) file can also be played. • To compress a source in an MP3 file, we recommend setting the compression parameters to "44.1 kHz," "128 kbps," and "Constant Bit Rate." • To record up to the maximum capacity, set the writing software to "halting of writing." • To record to the maximum capacity at one time up on media that has nothing recorded on it, set the writing software to "Disc at Once." 9 Basic Operations
