ENGLISH 16 MP3 PLAYBACK Listening to MP3 CD, CD-Rs and CD-RWs 2 There are many music distribution sites on the internet from which music files in MP3 format can be downloaded. Music downloaded as instructed on the site and written onto a CD-R/RW disc can be played on the DVD-2900. If music recorded on commercially available music CDs is converted on a computer into MP3 files using an MP3 encoder (conversion software), the data on a 12 cm CD is reduced into about 1/10 the amount of the original data. Thus, when written in MP3 format, the data of about 10 music CDs can fit onto the one CDR/RW disc. The one CD-R/RW disc can contain over 100 tracks. ✽ Values when 5-minute tracks are converted with a standard bit rate of 128 kbps into MP3 files and using a CD-R/RW disc with a capacity of 650 MB. 1 3 B ¢ ON / STANDBY £ OFF SUPER AUDIO CD DVD AUDIO DVD GROUP TRACK AUDIO D.MIX REMOTE SENSOR P.PCM SINGLE ELAPSED L C R LFE SL SR PROGRESSIVE V PLAY 1 STOP 2 8 STILL / PAUSE 3 OPEN/CLOSE 5 SUPER AUDIO CD SETUP 6 9 7 PURE DIRECT OFF MODE 1 MODE 2 DVD AUDIO-VIDEO / SUPER AUDIO CD PLAYER DVD-2900 1 2, 3 POWER OPEN / NTSC / PAL CLOSE ON OFF PROG / DIR 123 CLEAR 456 SRS TS 789 CALL RETURN 0 +10 TOP MENU DISPLAY ENTER MENU STOP PLAY STILL / PAUSE SKIP SLOW / SEARCH ANGLE SUBTITLE AUDIO SEARCH MODE REPEAT A-B RANDOM MARKER SETUP DIMMER PIC.ADJ P.D.MEMORY 1 3 Load the CD-R/RW disc on which the MP3 format music files have been written into the DVD-2900.

It is not compatible with such other standards as "MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3", "MPEG-2.5 Audio Layer 3", MP1, MP2, etc. • It may not be possible to play some CD-R/RW discs due to disc properties, dirt, warping, etc. • The digital signals output when playing MP3 files are MP3 signals converted into PCM, regardless of whether the audio output presetting is set to "normal" or "PCM". The signals are output with the same sampling frequency as that of the music source. • In general, the higher an MP3 file's bit rate, the better the sound quality. On the DVD-2900, we recommend using MP3 files recorded with bit rates of 128 kbps or greater. • MP3 files may not be played in the expected order, since the writing software may change the position of the folders and the order of the files when writing them on the CD-R/RW. • Programmed playback is not possible with MP3 discs. • When writing MP3 files on CD-R/RW discs, select "ISO9660 level 1" as the writing software format. This may not be possible with some types of writing software. For details, refer to the writing software's usage instructions. • The number of files playable with the DVD-2900 is approximately 600 or less. • With the DVD-2900 it is possible to display folder names and file names on the screen like titles. The DVD2900 can display up to 8 characters, consisting of numbers, capital letters, and the "_" (underscore) mark. • If recorded in a format other than "ISO9660 level 1", normal display and playback may not be possible. In addition, folder and file names including other symbols will not be displayed properly. • Be sure to add the extension ".MP3" to MP3 files. Files cannot be played if they have any extension other than ".MP3" or if they have no extension. (with Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by adding the extension ".MP3" after the file name consisting of up to 8 capital or numbers and recording the files on the CD-R/RW.) • Do not apply stickers, tape, etc., to either the label side or the signal side of CD-R/RW discs. If adhesive gets on the surface of a disc, the disc may get stuck inside the DVD-2900 and be impossible to eject. • The DVD-2900 is not compatible with packet write software. • The DVD-2900 is not compatible with ID3-Tag. • The DVD-2900 is not compatible with play lists. • The DVD-2900 is not compatible with MP3 PRO. • Do not play CD-R/RW discs containing any files other than music CD files (in CDA format), MP3 and JPEG files. Doing so may result in malfunction or damage, depending on the type of file. 28
