If the sound quality decreases and the
stereo effect is lost while listening to an
FM station
In some areas, adjacent stations may
interfere with each other. If this interference
occurs, this unit can automatically reduce this
interference noise (the initial setting when
shipped from the factory). However, in this
case, the sound quality will be degraded and
the stereo effect will be also lost.
If you do not want to degrade the sound
quality and to lose the stereo effect, rather
than to eliminate the interference noise, see

MP3INTRODUCTION
Whatis MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a
file format with a data compression ratio of 1:lO
(128 Kbps*).That means, by using MP3 format,
one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as
much data volume as a regular CD can.
*Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of
audio data will consume. The unit used is Kbps (1000 bits/
second).To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit
rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is 128 Kbps.
This unit is incorporated with an MP3 decoder.
You can play back MP3 files (tracks) recorded on
CD-&, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.
Compatiblewith ID3vl
Extra information data such as album title, performer
name, song title, recording year, music genre and a
brief comment can be stored within an MP3 file.
This unit can show ID3vl tags (album name,
performer name and song title) on the display.
(See page 45.)
l Some characters cannot be shown correctly.
l This unit is not compatible with ID3v2.
Other Main Features in this unit:
l Maximum number of directories/files: 289
(Total)
l Available characters for directory/file names:
A-Z, O-9, _ (underscore)
l Maximum number of characters for file name
(IS0 9660 Level 1): 12 (inclusive of
separation mark-“.” and
extension code--“mp3”)
(IS0 9660 Level 2): 31 (inclusive of
separation mark-“.” and
extension code--“mp3”)
(Joliet): 64 (inclusive of
separation mark-“.” and
extension code--“mp3”)
l Maximum number of characters for directory
name: 64
Precautionswhen recordina MP3files
ona CD-Ror CD-RW
This unit can only read MP3 files that are recorded
in the format that is compliant with IS0 9660 Level
1, Level 2 or Joliet.
Howare MP3files recorded
andplayedback?
MP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in
“directories (folders)“-in PC terminology.
During recording, the files and directories can be
arranged in a way similar to arranging files and
directories/folders of computer data.
“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file
and directory can be linked to and be accessed
from the root.
Playback order, file search order, and directory
search order of the MP3 files recorded on a disc
are determined by the writing (or encoding)
application; therefore, playback order may be
different from the one you have intended while
recording the directories and the files.
The illustration on the next page shows an
example of how MP3 files are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back, and
how they are searched for on this unit.
**A playlist isa simple text file, used on a PC, which enables
users to make their own playback order without physrcally
rearranging the files.
18

MP3directory/fileconfiguration
Note:
MP3playback/searchorder
l The numbers in circles below the MP3 files (4 ) indicate the playback order and search order of the
MP3 files. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the recorded order.
l The numbers inside the directories indicate the playback order and search order of the directories
on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the directories in the recorded order.
