Audio
MP3 operation
ț Track names must have the file exten-
sion “mp3”.
ț A period must appear between the
track name and the file extension.
Example of a correct track name:
Track1.mp3
In the example, the track name con-
tains six characters, followed by a peri-
od and the file extension “mp3”.
Empty folders or folders containing data
other than MP3 tracks will not be dis-
played by COMAND.
If MP3 files are stored in the root directory
itself, the root directory also counts as a
folder. COMAND will then display the root
directory name as a folder name.
Permissible MP3 formats
COMAND supports the
MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 format.
Permissible bit and scan rates
ț Fixed and variable bit rates up to
320 kbps
ț Scan rates from 24 kHz - 48 kHz

Tips on creating MP3 tracks
i
In everyday speech, this format has
been replaced by the designation
“MP3”.
i
It is recommended to use MP3 tracks
with a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher
and with a scan rate of 44.1 kHz or
higher. Lower rates may impair quality.
This is particularly true if the Sound
function*
LOGIC7 Surround has been acti-
vated.
