About MP3/WMA
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) is a standard format for audio compression. By using MP3, a file can be compressed to about 1/10 of the original size. WMA (Windows Media Audio) is Microsoft's audio compression technology. WMA files can be compressed to a size even smaller than MP3 files. This unit only supports certain MP3/WMA file standards, recorded media and formats. Take note of the following when writing MP3/WMA files onto a disc.

CD-ROM MODE 1, CD-ROM XA MODE 2 Form 1
• File formats:
ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2

names and folder names that do not display properly.
In addition to these standards, the following limitations apply. • Maximum number of directory layers:
8 layers
• Supported characters for folder and file names:
A to Z, 0 to 9, and underscore (_)

■ About ID3/WMA tags In MP3/WMA files, you can enter textual attribute information known as ID3 tags/WMA tags to save information such as track titles and artist names. This unit supports ID3v.1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 tags. This unit supports the ISO 8859-1, 2, 5 and 7 codes only. Use only the ISO 8859-1, 2, 5 or 7 codes to record tags. If characters not included in ISO8859-1, 2, 5 or 7 codes are recorded, they may not be readably displayed. This unit supports the WMA tag ASF revision (v1.20.02). WMA tags using only Unicode are supported. Always use Unicode characters to enter the information.
* When Ver. 1.x and Ver. 2.x of the ID3 tags both exist, precedence is given to
Ver. 2.x.
■ About the supported media types You can play MP3/WMA files recorded on a CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW disc. Compared to the CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-R and CD-RW discs are fragile in high temperature and high humidity environments. It may not be possible to play some CD-R/CD- RW discs. Fingerprints or scratches on a disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during playback. Some CD-R/CD-RW discs may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for a long time. We recommend that you store UV-sensitive CD-R and CD-RW discs in shield cases.

Folder
A total of 999 files can be created within a single disc. Files aside from MP3/WMA files (Example: 004.txt) also count as single files.
1st level
2nd level
■ About the file names Only a file with the “.mp3” or “.wma” extension is recognized as an MP3 or WMA file. Always save an MP3/WMA file with the “.mp3” or “.wma” extension. The “.mp3” or “.wma” file extension must be single-byte lower case letters.
NOTE If a non-MP3/WMA file has the “.mp3” or “.wma” file extension, it may be recognized erroneously as an MP3 or WMA file. When such a file is played, a loud noise may be output and damage the speakers. Do not save a non-MP3/WMA file with the “.mp3” or “.wma” extension.
Audio Operations
■ Multi-sessions Multi-sessions are supported and CD-R/RW with recorded MP3/WMA files can be played. However, when writing with Track-At-Once, be sure to finalize the disc with session close or write protect.
■ About MP3/WMA playback When you load a disc containing MP3/WMA files, the system first checks all files recorded on the disc. If the disc has many files and folders, the system may take a while to check them. While the system is checking the disc, the music that was playing continues to play. To allow quick checking of files, we recommend that you do not save non-MP3/WMA files or create unnecessary folders on the disc. Also, we recommend that you write the all data in a single session because the system takes longer to read the CD control information of a multi-session disc.
■ About the MP3/WMA playing time display It is possible that the playing time will not be correct, depending on the writing condition of the MP3/WMA file.
It is possible that the playing time will not be correct when VBR (Variable Bit Rate) Fast Up/Down is operated.

Audio Operations Creating and Playing MP3/WMA Files
Creating MP3/WMA files by recording them from sources such as broadcasts, records, recordings, videos and live performances without permission from the copyright holder for uses other than personal enjoyment is prohibited.
CAUTION
• To ensure stable sound quality during playback, we
recommend fixing the bit rate to 128 kbps and the sampling frequency to 44.1 kHz.
• Note that it may not be possible to read some CD-R or CD-
RW discs, depending on their characteristics.
• There are many types of MP3/WMA encoding software
available, including commercial and freeware programs. Depending on the encoder and the file format, the audio quality may deteriorate, noise may be generated when playing starts, or some recordings may not play.
• When files other than MP3/WMA files are recorded on a disc, the system may take some time to recognize the disc and it may not play.
■ Downloading from MP3/WMA music sites on the
Internet
You can find various types of MP3/WMA music distribution sites on the Internet, including online shopping, trial listening, and free download sites. You can download music files from these sites by following their payment and other downloading rules.
■ Converting a music CD into MP3/WMA files Prepare a computer and a commercially available MP3/WMA encoder (conversion) software (some can be found for free on the Internet). Load a music CD into the computer's CD-ROM drive and compress the music CD by following the procedure of the MP3/WMA encoder software. MP3/WMA-format music data files are created. A 12 cm music CD (with a maximum of 74 minutes of recording/650 MB of data) can be compressed to 65 MB (about 1/10 of the original size).
■ Writing MP3/WMA files on a CD-R/RW disc MP3/WMA files can be recorded on a CD-R/RW disc by using a CD-R/ RW drive connected to a computer. Record by setting the recording format of the recording software to ISO9660 level 1 or level 2 (not including the extension format). Select CD-ROM (mode 1) or CD-ROM XA (mode 2) as the disc format.
238 Audio and Visual
■ Playing a CD-R/RW disc Insert a CD-R/RW disc on which MP3/WMA files are recorded. When you load a disc, the system automatically determines whether it is a music CD or a CD-R/RW disc that contains MP3/WMA files, and plays it correctly. However, note that depending on the type of disc being used, the disc may not play.
