■USB memory

5-5. Using an external device

●Compatible devices

USB memory that can be used for MP3 and WMA playback

●Compatible device formats

The following device formats can be used:

• USB communication formats: USB 2.0 FS (12 Mbps)

• File formats: FAT12/16/32 (Windows)

• Correspondence class: Mass storage class

MP3 and WMA files written in any format other than those listed above may

not play correctly, and their file names and folder names may not be dis-

played correctly.

Items related to standards and limitations are as follows:

• Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels

• Maximum number of folders in a device: 999 (including the root)

• Maximum number of files in a device: 9999

• Maximum number of files per folder: 255

●MP3 and WMA files

MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER 3) is a standard audio compression format.

Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size using

MP3 compression.

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.

This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3

format.

There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file standards that can be used and to

the media/formats on which the files are recorded.

●MP3 file compatibility

• Compatible standards

MP3 (MPEG1 AUDIO LAYERII, III, MPEG2 AUDIO LAYERII, III,

MPEG2.5)

• Compatible sampling frequencies

MPEG1 AUDIO LAYERII, III: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

MPEG2 AUDIO LAYERII, III: 16, 22.05, 24 (kHz)

MPEG2.5: 8, 11.025, 12 (kHz)

• Compatible bit rates (compatible with VBR)

MPEG1 AUDIO LAYERII, III: 32-320 (kbps)

MPEG2 AUDIO LAYERII, III: 8-160 (kbps)

MPEG2.5: 8-160 (kbps)

• Compatible channel modes: stereo, joint stereo, dual channel and mon-

aural

369

5-5. Using an external device

●WMA file compatibility

• Compatible standards

WMA Ver. 7, 8, 9

• Compatible sampling frequencies

HIGH PROFILE 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

• Compatible bit rates

HIGH PROFILE 32-320 (kbps, CBR)

●File names

The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played are those

with the extension .mp3 or .wma.

●ID3 and WMA tags

ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track

title, artist name, etc.

The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 ID3

tags. (The number of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)

WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record the

track title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.

●MP3 and WMA playback

• When a device containing MP3 or WMA files is connected, all files in the

USB memory are checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3

or WMA file is played. To make the file check finish more quickly, we rec-

ommend that you do not include any files other than MP3 or WMA files or

create any unnecessary folders.

5

• When the USB memory is connected and the audio source is changed to

USB memory mode, the USB memory will start playing the first file in the

first folder. If the same device is removed and reinserted (and the con-

tents have not been changed), the USB memory will resume play from

the same point in which it was last used.

●Extensions

If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and

WMA files, they will be skipped (not played).

●Playback

• To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit

rate of at least 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3

and WMA files on the market, and depending on the status of the encod-

ing and the file format, poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback

may result. In some cases, playback may not be possible at all.

Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries.
