Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings About MP3 z 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". z The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than ".mp3". About WMA(Window Media Audio) z An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression technology. z WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio compression of the MP3 format. 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 "Easy CD 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.
