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.
• The unit is compatible with the following
standards.
For CD
– ISO 9660 level 1/level 2 format, Joliet/Romeo
in the expansion format
– Multi Session
For DVD
– UDF Bridge format (combined UDF and ISO
9660)
For CD/DVD
– ID3 tag version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4
• The maximum number of:
– folders (albums): 256 (including root and
empty folders).
– MP3 files (tracks) and folders contained in a
disc: 1,000 (if a folder/file names contain
many characters, this number may become
less than 1,000).
– displayable characters for a folder/file name
is 128; ID3 tag is 126 characters.
Notes
• Be sure to finalize the disc before using on the unit.
• When naming an MP3 file, be sure to add the file
expansion “.mp3” to the file name.
• If you play a high-bit-rate MP3, such as 320 kbps,
sound may be intermittent.
• During playback of a VBR (variable bit rate) MP3 file
or fast-forward/reverse, elapsed playing time may
not display accurately.
• When the disc is recorded in Multi Session, only the
first track of the first session format is recognized
and played (any other format is skipped). The
priority of the format is CD-DA and MP3.
– When the first track is a CD-DA, only CD-DA of the
first session is played.
– When the first track is not a CD-DA or MP3
session is played. If the disc has no data in any of
these formats, “NO MUSIC” is displayed.
• The unit cannot play back Multi Border recorded
MP3.
• MP3 files not recorded at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz
sampling rate and 64 to 320 kbps bit rate cannot be
played.
Note on wireless
transmission (MEX-R5 only)
The unit transmits audio/video at FM 2.4 GHz.
Simultaneous use with other 2.4 GHz equipment
may cause image interference or audio noise.
This is not a malfunction, but a result of
equipment sharing the same operating frequency.
