About MP3/WMA audio files
MP3 / WMA file compatibility with this recorder is
limited as follows:
• Sampling frequency: within 8 - 48 kHz (MP3), within
32 - 48kHz (WMA)
• Bit rate: within 8 - 320kbps (MP3),
32 - 192kbps (WMA)
• The recorder cannot read an MP3/WMA file that has
a file extension other than “.mp3” / “.wma”.
• CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660” and
“JOLIET”.
• DVD±R/RW physical format should be “ISO 9660
(UDF Bridge format)”.
• If you record MP3 / WMA files using software that
cannot create a file system (eg. Direct-CD) it is
impossible to playback MP3 / WMA files. We recom-
mend that you use Easy-CD Creator, which creates
an ISO 9660 file system.
• File names should have a maximum of 8 letters and
must incorporate an .mp3 or .wma extension.
• They should not contain special letters such as / ? *
: “ < > l etc.
• The total number of files and folders on the disc
should be less than 1999.
This recorder requires discs and recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically
set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-
existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible
playback.
Customers should note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 / WMA files
and music from the Internet. Our company has no
right to grant such permission. Permission should
always be sought from the copyright owner.
