MP3/WMA Play
CD-R MP3/WMA discs
When playing CD-R/MP3 or WMA discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, plus the comments below:
• Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and with Apple's Mac. These two formats
are the most widely used.
• When naming your MP3 or WMA files do not exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3, .wma" as the file extension.
General name format of: Title.mp3. or Title.wma. When composing your title, make sure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces
in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound
requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing
higher rates, like 192 Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality.
Conversely, files with decompression rates below 128 Kbps will not be played properly.
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps when recording WMA files.
Sound quality with WMA files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound
requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to 192Kbps.
Conversely, files with decompression rates below 64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be played properly.
• Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.
Certain "securized" files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows
Media
TM (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMI TM (registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.
• Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3 recordings, or as an assur-
ance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent
optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (degraded sound quality and in some cases,
inability of the player to read the files).
• This unit can play a maximum of 500 files and 300 folders per disc.
When an MP3/WMA Disc is inserted into the DVD player, the first song file of the first folder plays.
• If more than two file extensions are present, select the media of your choice by pressing UP/DOWN,
then the press ENTER button.
• To change the currently playing media, press the STOP ( ) button twice and then
press the DISC MENU button.
• If no button on the remote controller is pressed for 60 seconds, the menu will disappear and the
selected item will be played.
1. When the first song file is playing, the music folder menu will appear on the right side of the screen.
Up to 8 music folders can be displayed at a time. If you have more than 8 folders on a disc,
press the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to bring them up on the screen.
2. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select the desired music folder, then press ENTER.
Use the UP/DOWN buttons again to select a song file.
Press ENTER to begin playback of the song file.
