MP3 disc quality factors

Several factors can effect disc playback quality:
• Disc capacity — Each disc contains about 650 MB of storage capacity.

We do not recommend using high capacity discs containing 700MB of
storage.

• Disc type — Some CD-RW discs may operate inconsistently and may

cause an error message to appear. We recommend burning MP3 files
onto CD-R discs.

• Disc finalization — The disc may be left open for the purpose of

adding sessions to it at a later time, but be sure to close each session
or the disc will not play.

• Bit rate — The player supports bit rates from 32–320 kbps, as well as

variable bit rate MP3 files, but lower bit rates will have a noticeable
effect on sound quality and are recommended only for speech or low
fidelity music material. We recommend that you encode MP3 files
using a high quality encoder.

• PC configuration — Encoding MP3 files requires intensive use of your

computer’s resources. Follow the PC configuration recommendations
of the encoder software vendor. We recommend that you avoid
running other software applications on your PC during MP3 encoding
to avoid undesirable noise and distortion.
