Overview Connections MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme, using the "MPEG-1" video compression standard. It compresses the data volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining sound quality equivalent to a music CD. WMA (Windows Media Audio) This is audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded using Windows Media® Player. To encode WMA files, only use applications authorized by Microsoft Corporation. If you use an unauthorized application, the file may not work properly. Sampling frequency Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in digitized format (producing a digital signal). The number of readings taken in one second is called the "sampling frequency". The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the original. Dynamic range The difference between the maximum undistorted sound level and the minimum discernible level above the noise emitted by the device. Bit rate This is the amount of audio data recorded on a disc that is read in one second. Finalizing This process enables DVD/CD recorded with a recorder to be played by other players. Linear PCM This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. Unlike lossy compression audio sources such as MP3, no audio quality or dynamic range deteriorates.
