PLAYING CD-R/CD-RW DISCS
This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable)
discs as well as ordinary Audio CD and CD-R
(Recordable) discs.
• This unit can play back music CD format and
CD-R/CD-RW discs which contain MP3 music
data. However, some discs may have
problems such as unable to play, noise or
sound distortion.
*For details, please read the instruction manual
provided with a CD recorder.
• The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain
properly-recorded TOC information so that
they can be played back. In CD recorders, the
task of writing TOC information is referred to
as finalizing the disc. Discs that are not
finalized cannot be properly recognized as an
Audio CD and played back by regular CD
players and Super Audio CD players. For
details, please read the instruction manual
provided with a CD recorder.
*TOC stands for Table Of Contents and
contains information such as the total number
of tracks and total playing time of the disc.
• This unit can play only the discs recorded in
the CD-DA format designed for music
reproduction. Do not attempt to play a disc
containing other data, such as a CD-ROM for
PCs, on this unit.
• As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates
partial change of the player setup, it may take
longer time for reading the TOC information
than when an Audio CD or CD-R disc is played.
PLAYING MP3 FILES
There are many sites on the Internet from which you can download music files in MP3 format. These files
can be downloaded following the instructions on the site and stored on CD-R/RW discs which can then be
played on the this unit.
The music on commercially available music CDs can be converted into MP3 files on a computer using
MP3 encoding programs. When this is done, the data is reduced to approximately 1/10 the original size.
This MP3 data can then be stored on a CD-R/RW disc, allowing you to create a single 12 cm CD-R/RW
disc containing about 10 times more music than a normal music CD, that is some 100 tracks or more (*).
* This is an approximately value for MP3 files of tracks about 5 minutes long converted at a standard bit
rate (128 kbps) and stored on a CD-R/RW disc with a capacity of 650 MB.
* According to copyright law, use of recorded material other than for personal listening etc. without
permission from the copyright owner is prohibited.
NOTES:
This unit is compatible with the MP3 file specifications shown in the table below.
Playback of MP3 files based on specifications other than those shown in the table below cannot be
guaranteed.
• Generally speaking, the higher the MP3 file’s bit rate, the better the sound quality. With this unit it is
recommended to use MP3 files written with a bit rate of 128 kbps or greater.
• This unit is compatible with variable bit rate. (In variable bit rate, time display may not be appeared
properly.)
• The writing program may change the positions of the folders and files when writing the MP3 files on
the CD-R/RW disc, so the files may not be played in the expected order.
• Make sure to give MP3 files the extension “.MP3 (.mp3)”. Files with extensions other than “.MP3
(.mp3)” or without extensions cannot be played. (On Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by
adding the extension “.MP3 (.mp3)” after the file name consisting of a maximum of 8 Roman capital
letters and/or numerals when recording them on CD-R/RW discs.)
• Files other than those with the extension “.MP3 (.mp3)” are not counted.
• It may not be possible to play some CD-R/RW discs due to dirt, scratches or the disc’s properties.
• Do not apply seals or tape to the label or signal side of CDs or CD-R/RW discs. The glue could get on
the disc surface, making the disc get stuck inside the set.
• This unit is multi-session compatible. Only first music CDs can be played if the first session is a music
CD, and all the MP3 files can be played if the first session consists of MP3 files.
• This unit is mixed-audio compatible. If the first session consists of MP3 files and mixed up with music
and MP3 files, only the MP3 files can be played.
• This unit is not compatible with packet write programs.
• This unit is not compatible with play lists.
• This unit is not compatible with ID3-Tag.
• This unit cannot display the total time for discs recorded in MP3 format.
