Compressed audio compatibility
• This unit will play CD-ROM discs
containing files saved in the MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 format (MP3) with a
sampling rate of 44.1 or 48kHz.
Incompatible files will not play and
UNPLAYABLE will be displayed on the
unit.
• Fixed bit-rate files are recommended.
Variable bit-rate (VBR) files are playable,
but playing time may not be shown
correctly.
• The CD-ROM used to compile your MP3
files must be ISO 9660 Level 2 compliant.
• CD physical format: Mode1, Mode2 XA
Form1.
• This player only plays tracks that are
named with the file extension “.mp3” or
“.MP3”.
• This player is compatible with multi-
session discs, but only plays sessions that
are closed.
• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording
your MP3 files.
• This player can recognize a combined
total of up to 250 tracks and folders. If a
disc containing over 250 tracks/folders is
loaded, only the first 250 tracks/folders
recorded on the disc will be playable.

“.mp3” extension) are displayed.
• There are many different recording bit-
rates available to encode your MP3 files.
This unit was designed to be compatible
with all of them. Audio encoded at
128Kbps should sound close to regular
CD Audio quality. This player will play
lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, but please note
that the sound quality becomes
noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.
PC created disc compatibility
• If you record a disc using a personal
computer, even if it is recorded in a
“compatible format” as listed above, there
will be cases in which the disc may not be
playable in this machine due to the
setting of the application software used to
create the disc. In these particular
instances, check with the software
publisher for more detailed information.
• Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW
software disc boxes for additional
compatibility information.
