About MP3 audio tracks
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies certain ISO/MPEG regulations.
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-Rs/CD-RWs)
recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) format.
However, the discs must be recorded according to
ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format for the
recorder to recognize the tracks. You can also play
discs recorded in Multi Session.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-
RW drives and the recording software (not
supplied) for details on the recording format.
Note on Multi Session discs
If MP3 audio tracks are recorded in the first
session, the recorder will also play MP3 audio
tracks in other sessions. If audio tracks in Music
CD format are recorded in the first session, only
the first session will be played back.
z Hints
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create albums
with no more than two trees.
• When playback of all the MP3 audio tracks within the
album finishes, the recorder stops.
