files are digital audio files that are compressed
to allow more files
on asingle CD. This unit can
play MP3IWMA directly from files contained
on
aCD-R/RW using the buttons on the receiver
(or optional remote) as described below. Many
types
of software are available for converting
audio files into MP3IWMA formats. Phase
Linear recommends Nero
or Roxio Easy CD
Creator. Depending
on the media type and
recording method, some CD-R/RWs may
be
incompatible with this unit. The unit supports
playback
of MP3IWMA and CODA (CDA),
Mixed-Mode CDs and CD-Extra (including
multi-session discs), but
discs on which the
session has not been closed will not play.
Notes on MP3/WMA Play

Layer 3). However, the MP3 recording media
and accepted formats are limited. When writing
MP3IWMA, pay attention to the following
restrictions.
Acceptable Media
The MP3IWMA recording media acceptable to
this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RWdiscs,
USB devices and
SO cards. When using CD-
RW, use full format rather than quick format to
prevent malfunction.
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.

contains many folders or non-MP31WMA files,
MP3JWMA 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 amedium may produce loud
noise and cause damage to the speakers.
