while advances have been made to ensure that your disc player is compatible with the largest number of discs
possible, it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to play discs which might not be compliant with audio cD
standards. In the case of writable and re-writable discs, compatibility with this player depends on the cD/DVD writer,
the authoring/writing software and the disc used.

Digital video discs -12 cm and 8 cm, single or double
sided, single or dual layer. DVD’s are high-density
optical discs on which high quality picture and audio
are recorded by means of digital signals.
cD-r and cD-rw discs containing audio files in mp3
format. as for cD-r mp3 discs, please follow all the
recommendations for cD-r above, along with the
comments below:
your mp3 files should be Iso 9660 or JolIet •
format. Iso 9660 format and Joliet mp3 files are
compatible with microsoft’s Dos and windows,
as well as with apple mac. these two formats are
the most widely used.
mp3 filenames should not exceed 10 characters,
•
and should end with the “.mp3” extension.
general name format: “title.mp3”. when
composing your title ensure 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 kb/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording
mp3 files. sound quality with mp3 files
basically depends on the rate of compression
/ decompression you choose. obtaining audio
cD quality sound requires an analog/digital
sampling rate, that is conversion to mp3 format,
of at least 32 kb/sec and up to 160 kb/sec. files
with sampling rates below 32 kb/sec will not play
properly.
Do not try recording copyright-protected mp3
•
files. “secured” files are encrypted and code-
protected to prevent illegal copying. you must
not copy such files
Important:
The above recommendations cannot be taken as a
guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3 recordings,
or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that
certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording
on CD-R’s prevent optimal playback of these files on your
DVD player (i.e. degraded sound quality and even, in some
cases, inability of the player to read the file).

most cD-r (one recording only) and cD-rw discs
(re-writable). this player can play most cD-r discs.
cD-r’s written during a multi-session recording can also
be played, provided that the session has ended before
the disc is played (depending on the burning software).
however, depending on the cD writer, computer and
the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play
successfully. when playing a cD-r disc, it is completely
normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to
recognize the disc before starting to play. If the disc is
not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove
the disc, and then insert it again.
Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of •
the cD-r, do not use its full capacity.
cD-r’s should be preferably used instead of
•
cD-rw’s (re-writable cD’s) as, in certain cases,
cD-rw playback may be faulty.
use reliable, good-quality cD burning software.
•
close all other applications on the computer to •
ensure reliable cD-r disc recording.
