■Discs that can be used

5-4. Playing audio CDs and MP3/WMA discs

Discs with the marks shown below can be used.

Playback may not be possible depending on recording format or disc fea-

tures, or due to scratches, dirt or deterioration.

CDs with copy-protect features may not be used.

■CD player protection feature

To protect the internal components, playback is automatically stopped when a

problem is detected while the CD player is being used.

■If a disc is left inside the CD player or in the ejected position for

extended periods

The disc may be damaged and may not play properly.

■Lens cleaners

Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so may damage the CD player.

■MP3 and WMA files

MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is a standard audio compression format.

Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size by 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 for-

mat.

There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file standards and to the media/formats

recorded by them that can be used.

●MP3 file compatibility

• Compatible standards

MP3 (MPEG1 LAYER3, MPEG2 LSF LAYER3)

• Compatible sampling frequencies

MPEG1 LAYER3: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

MPEG2 LSF LAYER3: 16, 22.05, 24 (kHz)

• Compatible bit rates (compatible with VBR)

MPEG1 LAYER3: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320 (kbps)

5-4. Playing audio CDs and MP3/WMA discs

●WMA file compatibility

• Compatible standards

• Compatible sampling frequencies

32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

• Compatible bit rates (only compatible with 2-channel playback)

Ver. 9: CBR 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, 320 (kbps)

●Compatible media

Media that can be used for MP3 and WMA playback are CD-Rs and CD-

RWs.

Playback in some instances may not be possible, depending on the status

of the CD-R or CD-RW. Playback may not be possible or the audio may

jump if the disc is scratched or marked with fingerprints.

●Compatible disc formats

The following disc formats can be used.

• Disc formats: CD-ROM Mode 1 and Mode 2

CD-ROM XA Mode 2, Form 1 and Form 2

• File formats: ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2, (Romeo, Joliet)

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

displayed correctly.

5

Items related to standards and limitations are as follows.

• Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels

• Maximum length of folder names/file names: 16 characters

• Maximum number of folders: 192 (including the root)

• Maximum number of files per disc: 255

●File names

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

with the extension .mp3 or .wma.

●Multi-sessions

As the audio system is compatible with multi-sessions, it is possible to play

discs that contain MP3 and WMA files. However, only the first session can

be played.

184

5-4. Playing audio CDs and MP3/WMA discs

●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 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 disc containing MP3 or WMA files is inserted, all files on the disc

are first checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3 or WMA file

is played. To make the file check finish more quickly, we recommend you do

not write in any files other than MP3 or WMA files or create any unneces-

sary folders.

If the discs contain a mixture of music data and MP3 or WMA format data,

only music data can be played.

●Extensions

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

WMA files, they will be mistakenly recognized and played as MP3 and

WMA files. This may result in large amounts of interference and damage to

the speakers.

●Playback

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

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

• CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be possible in some instances,

depending on the characteristics of the disc.

• 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.

• When files other than MP3 or WMA files are recorded on a disc, it may

take more time to recognize the disc and in some cases, playback may

not be possible at all.

• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trademarks

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