About MP3 disc
What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or
MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data
compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can
contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
Disc structure
On an MP3 disc, each item (song) is recorded as a track (file),
which usually belongs to a group (folder).
This unit can recognize up to 99 groups and up to 254 tracks per
group; however, the number of tracks to be played back on a disc
is limited to 1023.
If a disc includes more than 1023 tracks, the unit ignores any
tracks which have been assigned track numbers exceeding 1023.
The unit also ignores any non-MP3 files on the disc.
NOTES for MP3 discs
• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout
time, due to the complexity of the folder/file configuration.
• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2
as the disc format.
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics or recording conditions.
• The unit does not support “packet writing” of discs.
• If there are any tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly
and do not belong to any group (folder), the unit recognizes
them as belonging to a particular group.
• The unit does not output a digital audio signal from the DVD
OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal when playing back an MP3
disc.
• The unit plays back groups/tracks on an MP3 disc in
alphabetical order.
Ex.: When there are three title groups [one], [two] and [three] on
a disc:
The playback order on this unit is [one], [three] then [two].
Tracks in a group are played back in the same way.
An MP3 disc on the market may be played back in a different
order from the order printed on its sleeve.
