MP3/WMA/AAC
This unit can play back MP3/WMA/AAC files.
Notes:
• If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights
Management) for WMA remaining ON, no audio
is output (The WMA indicator blinks).
• Windows Media™, and the Windows® logo are
trademarks, or registered trademarks of
Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or
other countries.
● To disable DRM (Digital Rights
Management)
1. When using Windows Media Player 9/10/11,
click on TOOL ➜ OPTIONS ➜ MUSIC
RECORD tab, then under Recording
settings, unclick the Check box for RECORD
PROTECTED MUSIC. Then, reconstruct
files.
Personally constructed WMA files are used
at your own responsibility.
Precautions when creating MP3/
WMA/AAC file
● Usable sampling rates and bit rates
1. MP3: Sampling rate 8 kHz-48 kHz,
Bit rate 8 kbps-320 kbps / VBR
2. WMA: Bit rate 8 kbps-320 kbps
3. AAC: Sampling rate 8 kHz-48 kHz,
Bit rate 8 kbps-320 kbps / VBR
● File extensions
1. Always add a file extension “.MP3”, “.WMA”
or “.M4A” to MP3, WMA or AAC file by using
single byte letters. If you add a file extension
other than specified or forget to add the file
extension, the file cannot be played.
2. Files without MP3/WMA/AAC data will not
play. The files will be played soundlessly if
you attempt to play files without MP3/WMA/
AAC data.
∗ When VBR files are played, the play time
display may differ the play location.
∗ When MP3/WMA/AAC files are played, a little
no sound part is caused between tunes.
● Logical format (File system)
1. When writing MP3/WMA/AAC file on a CD-R
disc or CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660
level 1, 2 or JOLIET or Romeo” or APPLE
ISO as the writing software format. Normal
play may not be possible if the disc is
recorded on another format.
2. The folder name and file name can be
displayed as the title during MP3/WMA/AAC
play but the title must be within 64 single
byte alphabetical letters and numerals
(including an extension).
3. Do not affix a name to a file inside a folder
having the same name.
● Folder structure
1. A disc with a folder having more than 8
hierarchical levels will be impossible.
● Number of files or folders
1. Up to 255 files can be recognized per folder.
Up to 510 files can be played.
2. Tracks are played in the order that they were
recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not
always be played in the order displayed on
the PC.)
3. Some noise may occur depending on the
type of encoder software used while
recording.
