Notes on Discs

Disc Recording Format
CD-R Discs
•
Depending on the disc recording device (CD-Recorder or PC ) and the condition of the disc, some CD-R discs
may not be playable.
•
Use a 650MB/74 minute CD-R. Avoid CD-R media, as they may not be playable.
•
If possible, do not use CD-RW (Rewritable) media, as they may not be playable.
•
Only the CD-Rs that are properly "closed" can be fully played. If the session is closed but the disc is left open,
you may not be able to fully play the disc.
CD-R MP3 Discs
•
Only CD-R discs with MP3 files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.
•
MP3 file names should be 8 characters or less in length and contain no blank spaces or special characters (. / = +).

If the name of a file is in Korean, the name will be displayed on the TV screen in Korean and * will be shown in the
display of the main unit.
•
Use discs recorded with a compression/decompression data rate greater than 128Kbps.
•
Only files with the ".mp3" and ".MP3" extensions can be played.
•
Only a consecutively written Multisession disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the Multisession disc, the
disc can be played only up to the blank segment.

If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to begin playback and not all of the recorded files may be played.
•
For files encoded in Variable Bit Rate (VBR) format, i.e. files encoded in both low bit rate and high bit rate (e.g.,
32Kbps ~ 320Kbps), the sound may skip during playback.

What is MP3?
MP3 is short for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and MPEG is an acronym for Moving Pictures Experts
Group. MP3 is a file format with compression ratio of 1:12 (128 Kbps*) That is, you can use MP3
format to record about 12 times the usual amount of data on a regular CD.
