ABOUT “MP3”
WHAT IS THE MP3?
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a
standard technology and format for
compressing a sound sequence. The
file is compressed to about 1/10 of its
original size. Sounds outside the range
of human hearing are compressed while
the sounds we can hear are not
compressed.

SOFTWARE AND WRITING
SOFTWARE
• To compress a source for an MP3
file, we recommend setting the
transfer bit rate of the compression
software to “44.1 kHz”, “128kbps”,
and “Constant Bit Rate”.
• Please check the maximum
capacity of your CD-R / CD-RW as
they come in a different capacity
ranges.
• To record at one time up to the
maximum capacity on media that
has nothing recorded it, set to “Disc
at Once”.
NOTES FOR SAVING FILES
ON THE MEDIA
When the disc is inserted, the player
reads all the files on that disc. If there
are many folders or non-MP3 files on
the disc, it may take a long time for play
to begin or for the next MP3 file to start
play.
Do not save unnecessary folders or
files other than MP3 ones in the disc to
be used for MP3 listening.
DO NOT record any other files other than
MP3 files on the CD. If you record non-
mp3 files onto the CD, the player may
not operate properly. Please record
ONLY MP3 files onto the CD.
NOTE: While this player can play most
MP3 files it cannot play all files
and may not play all MP3
formats.
