GENERAL NOTES ON MP3/WMA CDS
Windows Media and Microsoft Corporation are trademarks
registered in the United States and/or other countries.
PLAYING AN MP3/WMA CD
When the MP3/WMA CD is inserted in the player,
playing of the tracks is automatic.
The tracks cannot be recorded onto the music server.
ACCEPTANCE OF THE FILES
You can play CDs with up to 8 levels, 255 folders and
400 ꢀles maximum.
Some blank CDs may not be played by your equipment (quality,
recording speed...).
When you burn a CD-R or CD-RW, select the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or
WHAT IS THE MP3/WMA FILE FORMAT?
Joliet burning standard.
To obtain the best acoustic quality possible, select the lowest
burning speed.
The MPEG1 and MPEG2 standards are accepted.
MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and
MPG is the abbreviation of Motion Pictures Experts
Group, a digital video data compression standard used on media
such as video CDs.
Transmission speeds between 32 and 320 kbits/s and scans
between 16 kHz and 48 kHz are accepted.
The MP3 compression reduces the number of bytes in a song by
eliminating the long sound waves in the range of frequencies which
are imperceptible to the human ear, so producing high quality audio
ꢀles with a low volume of data.
To display the title information (the name of the artist, the title of the
album, etc...), the information contained in the ID3 Tags or the WMA
Tags must be included in the MP3/WMA ꢀles burned onto the disc.
This compression divides the size of the content of a conventional
audio CD by approximately 10, which means that the content of
10 audio CDs can be recorded onto a single CD-R or CD-RW.
COPYRIGHT
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, another audio
data compression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio ꢀles at a compression rate
higher than that of the MP3 format.
Your audio system may allow you to listen to music which is usually
protected by copyright in accordance with current national and
international standards. Please consult these standards and comply
with them.
