Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product. Note on DualDiscs A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed. Playback order of MP3/WMA/JPEG files MP3/WMA/ JPEG Folder (album) MP3/WMA/ JPEG file (track/ image) About MP3 files • MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3, is a music file compression format standard. It compresses audio CD data to approximately 1/10 of its original size. • ID3 tag versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 apply to MP3 only. ID3 tag is 15/30 characters (1.0 and 1.1), or 63/126 characters (2.2, 2.3 and 2.4). • When naming an MP3 file, be sure to add the file extension ".mp3" to the file name. • During playback or fast-forward/reverse of a VBR (variable bit rate) MP3 file, elapsed playback time may not display accurately. Note on MP3 If you play a high-bit-rate MP3, such as 384 kbps, sound may be intermittent.
