What is MP3?
MP3-CD, CD-R/RW
Playback
You can playback MP3-CDs and
audio CDs on the CD-R or CD-RW
drive.
Shock Prevention
Even if the CD player is knocked or
jolted while listening to a CD, the
sound will not skip but will continue
normal playback.
+10 Key
One MP3-CD can contain over 100
MP3 music files.This key is used to
skip through tracks in multiples of 10,
in order to find the track you want
more quickly.
MP3 means MPEG1 Layer 3, the global standard for audio signal compression technolo-
gy. It uses digital compression technology to compress original sound data by up to 12
times without sound quality degradation.
File Compatibility
●The unit will playback files created in MP3 format (Mepg1.Layer 3) with *.mp3 as their
extension.
●Files created in MP2 format (Mpeg1.Layer2) with *.mp2 as their extension can also
be played back.
How many MP3 files can a CD-R or CD-RW disc record?
●The maximum capacity of one CD-R or CD-RW disc is 680MB.
Normally, one MP3 file has a capacity of 4MB, therefore approximately 170 files can
be recorded on a single disc.
