MP3/WMA file
When you record MP3 or WMA files on CD-R/Memory Card, please refer to the following.
- Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660
or JOLIET format.
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files
are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and
Windows, and with Apple's Mac. This format is
the most widely used. Memory Cards over 4GB
use FAT32, which may not be compatible with
this unit.
- When naming your MP3 or WMA files, do not
exceed 8 characters, and enter “.mp3, .wma”
as the file extension.
General name format : Title.mp3. or Title.wma.
When composing your title, make sure that you
use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the
name, and avoid the use of special characters
including: (.,/,\,=,+).
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least
128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends
on the rate of compression/decompression you
choose. Getting CD audio sound requires an
analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion
to MP3 format, of at least 128 Kbps and up to
160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like
192
Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound
quality. Conversely, files with decompression
rates below 128 Kbps will not be played
properly.
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least
64Kbps when recording WMA files.
Sound quality with WMA files basically depends
on the rate of compression/decompression you
choose.
Getting CD audio sound requires an
analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion
to WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to
192Kbps.
Conversely, files with decompression rates
below 64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be
played properly.
- Do not try recording copyright protected
MP3 files.
Certain "secured" files are encrypted and code
protected to prevent illegal copying. These files
are of the following types: Windows MediaTM
(registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and
SDMITM (registered trade mark of The SDMI
Foundation). You cannot copy such files.
- Important:
The above recommendations cannot be taken
as a guarantee that the DVD-VCR will play MP3
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality.
You should note that certain technologies and
methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs
prevent optimal playback of these files on your
DVD-VCR (degraded sound quality and in some
cases, inability of the player to read the files).
- This unit can play a maximum of 3000 files and
300 folders per disc.
