MP3-CD Playback
This system has a built-in MP3 decoder.
You can play back MP3 tracks (files)recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.
What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means,by using
MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD.
Starting Playback

It is recommended you turn on your TV when playing back an MP3-CD.

CD-R MP3 DISC
• Only CD-R discs with MP3 files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.
• The file name of the MP3 file may not be longer than 8 characters and should contain no blank spaces or special
characters.
• 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.
Depending on the recording mode, some MP3-CDs cannot be played.

CD-R/RW playback compatibility
•
Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD-
RW discs recorded in digital audio format.
When recording your own CD-R or CD-RW
discs, make sure that the recording session is
properly terminated, or they will not be
playable. (Depending on disc properties and
recording quality, some CD-R/RW may not be
playable.)
•
CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R
media and consequently it will take a longer to
read CD-R discs.
•
CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to
be difficult for the DVD player to read. If the
recording speed for the CD-RW disc is not
predetermined, write it at low speed.
Repeat
•
Each time you press the button, repeat mode
changes as follows:
