Playing WMA/MP3
HighMAT disc play
HighMAT HighMAT is a new format management standard used for writing audio/video and still image files to CD-R/RW. You can add track titles, artist names and record playlist settings which allows you to easily search large volumes of files for play. You can play discs recorded with WMA/MP3 audio files on this unit.
�You cannot play discs recorded using Windows Media Audio 9 Professional/Lossless/Voice. Preparation: Before inserting the disc, turn the HighMAT switch on. When the switch is off the HighMAT features do not work and the unit plays as normal.
