CD-R MP3/WMA file

When you record MP3 or WMA files on a CD-R, for playback in this unit, please refer to the following.

- Your MP3 or WMA files should be in ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.

ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and with Apple's Mac.This format is the most widely used.

-When naming your MP3 or WMA files, do not exceed 8 characters, and enter ???.mp3, .wma??? as the file extension.

General name format : Title.mp3. or Title.wma. When composing your title, make sure 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 Kbps when recording MP3 files.

Sound quality with MP3 files depends on the rate of compression/ decompression you choose. Getting CD audio sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 for- mat, of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192Kbps or more, only rarely gives better sound quality. Files with decompression rates below 128 Kbps will not be played properly.

- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps when recording WMA files.

Sound quality with WMA files depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting CD audio sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to 192Kbps. Files with decompression rates below 64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be played properly. The sampling rate that can be supported for WMA files is >30 Khz.

-Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.

Windows MediaTM files (a registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMITM files (a registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation) are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copy- ing. You cannot copy these files.

-Important:

The recommendations on the previous page 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 tech- nologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the files).

-This unit can play a maximum of 500 files and 500 folders per disc.

Picture CD Playback

1.Select the desired folder.

2.Press the ??/??? buttons to select a Picture file in the clips menu and then press the ENTER but-

ton.
