What is MP3/WMA?
MP3/WMA (MPEG Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio compression technology. By using
MP3/WMA a file can be compressed to one-tenth the size of the original.
WMA (Windows Media
TM
Audio) is format for audio compression technology. WMA files can be
compressed to a size smaller than MP3 files.
Playing an MP3/WMA disc
• This receiver can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>
(regardless of the letter case-upper/lower).
• This receiver can show the names of albums, artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1,
2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.
• This receiver can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the conditions below:
- Bit rate: 8 kbps - 320 kbps
- Sampling frequency:
48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for MPEG-1) 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz (for MPEG-2)
- Disc format: ISO 9660 Level 1/ Level 2, Romeo, Joliet, Windows long file name

- MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3 PRO formats.
- MP3 files encoded in an unappropriated format.
