The former is developed b y MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group), and the latter is developed by Microsoft
Corporation. Using these compression formats, you can record the contents of about 10 music CDs on a sin­
gle CD media. (This figures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps
and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)
Note:
• MP3A/VMA encoding and writing software are not supplied with this unit.
• CD writing software is not supplied with this unit.
□ Points to remember when making MP3/WMA fiies

• High bit rate and high sampling frequency are
recommended for high quality sounds.
• Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recom­
mended because playing time is not displayed
properly and sound may be skipped.
• The playback sound quality differs depending on
the encoding circumstances. For details, refer to
the user manual of your own encoding software
and writing software.
MP3
• It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps
or more" and “fixed”.
WMA
• It Is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps
or more” and “fixed”.

file to enable this unit to playback.
