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.

THE USABLE NUMBER OF FOLDERS/FILES ¥ Maximum folder number: 255 ¥ Maximum file number: 255 SETTINGS FOR COMPRESSION 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 . ¥ To record up to the maximum capacity, set to the halting of writing . ¥ 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. We recommend that you do not save other types files or unnecessary folders on a disc that has MP3 files.

Basic Operations

Playable �MP3� files on this player
You can only play MP3 files recorded by following requirements. USABLE MEDIA CD-Rs and CD-RWs USABLE DISC FORMAT You can use ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 and Joliet extension format discs. In some cases, MP3 files that are recorded in a format other than these formats may not play normally or the file and folder names may not be displayed correctly. The major specifications of the usable disc format are as follows: ¥ Maximum directory steps: 8 ¥ Usable characters for a file/folder name: A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9, _ (underscore) ¥ Maximum number of characters for a file name: 64 including quotation marks and a 3-character extension code
Notes ¥ When naming, be sure to add the file extension mp3 to the file name. ¥ If you put the extension mp3 to a file other than an MP3 file, the player cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers. ¥ The file name does not correspond to the ID tag.

About �ID3 tag�
