Notes on MP3
Note: MP3 encoding and writing software is not supplied
with this unit.
Points to remember when making MP3 files
¡ High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recom-
mended for high quality sounds.
¡ Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended
because playing time is not displayed properly and sound
may be skipped.
¡ The playback sound quality differs depending on the
encoding circumstances. For details, refer to the user
manual of your own encoding software and writing soft-
ware.
¡ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or
more” and “fixed”.
