Notes on MP3/WMA Play
This unit can play MP3 (MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). However, the MP3 recording media and
accepted formats are limited. When writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to the following restrictions.
Acceptable Medium Formats
The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The maximum number of
characters used for file name including the delimiter (".") and three-character extension are
indicated in parentheses.
ISO 9660 Level 1 (11 characters)
ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)
Joliet (31 characters)
Romeo (31 characters)
11. CD /MP3/WMA OPERATION
13
Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format. For a list of available
characters, see the instruction manual of the writing software and the section “Entering File and
Folder Names” below. The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:
Maximum number of nested folders: 8
Maximum number of files per disc: 999
Maximum number of folders per disc: 255
Maximum number of files per media device: 2000
MP3/WMA written in the formats other than the above may not be successfully played and their file
names or folder names may not be properly displayed.
MP3/WMA Encoder and CD Writer Settings
Use the following settings when compressing audio data in MP3 data with the MP3 encoder.

Entering ID3 Tag
This unit supports ID3 tag versions 1.0 and 1.1.
Entering File and Folder Names
Names using the code list characters are the only file names and folder names that can be entered
and displayed. Using any other character will cause the file and folder names to be displayed
incorrectly. The unit recognizes and plays only files with the MP3/WMA extension.
A file name entered with characters not on the code list may not play correctly.
Writing Files into a Media
When a media containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks all data. If the media contains
many folders or non-MP3/WMA files, MP3/WMA play will be delayed, it may take time for the unit to
move to the next file, and searches may not be performed smoothly. Loading such a media may
produce loud noise and cause damage to the speakers. Do not attempt to play a media
containing a non-MP3/WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension or a media containing non
MP3/WMA files.
Bit Rates
The unit supports bit rates from 32 - 320 kbps.

When using a CD writer to record MP3/WMA up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional
writing. For recording on an empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, check disc at once.
Files Playing Order
When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select, files and folders are accessed
in the order in which they were written by the PC writer. Because of this, the order in which they are
expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. For example, a
