Audio System

ISO 9660 Format

Shuffle and Random

This is the most common international

standard for the logical format of files and

folders on a CD-ROM.

Random track playback, also known as

shuffle, plays all tracks on the CD in

random order.

There are several specification levels. In

Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3

format (no more than eight characters in

the name, no more than three characters

in the extension MP3 and WMA) and in

capital letters.

Folder names can be no longer than eight

characters. There can be no more than

eight folder levels (trees). Level 2

specifications allow file names up to 31

characters long.

Press function button 2.

Note: When an MP3 CD is playing, you can

have the system shuffle tracks for the whole

CD, or within the current folder. Pressing

function button 2 toggles these options.

Use the seek up or down button to select

the next track to shuffle, if required.

Repeat Compact Disc Tracks

Press function button 1.

Each folder can have up to eight trees.

Note: When an MP3 or WMA CD is playing,

you can have the system repeat the current

track or all tracks within the current folder.

Pressing function button 1 toggles these

options.

For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion

format, consider these restrictions when

configuring your CD writing software.

Multi Session

Compact Disc Track Scanning

Press function button 3.

This recording method enables adding of

data using the track-at-once method.

Conventional CDs begin at a CD control

area called the lead-in and end at an area

called lead-out. A multi session CD is a CD

having multiple sessions, with each

segment from lead-in to lead-out regarded

as a single session.

MP3 and WMA File Playback

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) or WMA

(Windows media audio) is a standard

technology and format for compressing

audio data. This allows a more efficient

use of the media.

You can play MP3 files recorded on

CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW formats. The

disc must be in the ISO 9660 level 1 or level

2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the

expansion format. You can also use a disc

recorded in multi session.

CD-Extra: The format that records audio

(audio CD data) as tracks on session 1, and

records data as tracks on session 2.

Mixed CD: In this format, data records as

track 1 and audio (audio CD data) records

as track 2.

File Formats

With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1

and level 2, folder names or file names may

not display correctly.

When naming, be sure to add the file

extension MP3 or WMA to the file name.

Audio System

If you put the extension MP3 or WMA to a

file other than MP3 or WMA, the unit

cannot recognize the file correctly and

generates random noise that could

damage your speakers.

The following discs take a longer time to

start playback.

•

A disc recorded with complicated tree

structure.

•

A disc recorded in multi session.

A non-finalized disc, where you can add

more data.

Playing a Multi Session Disc

When the first track of the first session is

audio CD data only, the audio CD data of

the first session plays. Non-audio CD data,

MP3 or WMA file information (such as

track number and time) displays with no

sound.

ID3 Tag Version 2

The following occurs when an MP3 or

WMA file containing a tag plays:

When the first track of the first session is

not audio CD data:

•

When skipping a portion of a tag (at

the beginning of the track) there is no

sound output. Skip time changes

depending on the tag capacity.

Example: At 64 kbytes, it is about 2

seconds (with RealJukebox).

•

If an MP3 or WMA file is on the disc, the

system skips these file and other data.

Audio CD data is not recognized.

If no MP3 or WMA file is in the disc,

nothing plays. Audio CD data is not

recognized.

•

The displayed elapsed playing time

when skipping a portion of the tag is

inaccurate. For MP3 files of a bit rate

other than 128 kbps, time does not

display accurately during playback.

When an MP3 file is created with MP3

conversion software (such as

RealJukebox - a registered trademark

of RealNetworks Inc.), the tag

generates automatically.

MP3 and WMA Files Playback Order

The playback order of the folders and files

are as shown.

Note: The system skips any folder that does

not include an MP3 or WMA file.

To specify a desired playback order before

the folder or file name, input the order by

number (for example, 01 or 02) then record

the contents onto a disc. The order differs

depending on the writing software.

MP3 or WMA Navigation

You can record MP3 tracks on the CD in

several ways. You can place them in the

root directory like a conventional audio CD,

or in folders that may represent categories,

such as album, artist, or genre.
