What is MP3?
MP3 means MPEG1 Layer 3, the global standard for audio
signal compression technology. 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
(Mpeg1.Layer3) with *.mp3 as their extension,and
some WMA files with.WMA extension can’t be
playback.
Playback will be impossible for the file of MP2 or
22KHz.
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.
Regarding the playback of CD-R/RW
In the case of an original CD-R(Recordable) recorded in
audio CD format, CD-RW(Rewritable) and editing by the
user, playback is processed on the respective
completed status. (The player may not be played back
according to the characteristics of the CD or recorded
status.)
The CD-RW is comparably less reflexive than CD which
causes more time delay to read.

audio signal compression technology. You can repeat indefinitely:
A specific track on a compact disc.
All tracks on the compact disc selected.
All discs loaded in the carrousel
