CD or MP3 disc Playback
Listening to a CD or MP3 disc
This system can also play audio CD-R and CD-RW discs, but can-
not record.
Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable due to the
state of the disc or the equipment used for recording.
MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands
for MPEG Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is a type of audio code which is processed by significant
compression from the original audio source with very little loss
in sound quality.
Notes:
!Due to the structure of its disc information, it takes longer to read
an MP3 disc than a normal CD.
!"MP3" indicator will light up if an MP3 disc is initialised.
!This system supports MPEG 1 Layer 3, MPEG 2 Layer 3, and
VBR files.
!During VBR file playback, time counter in the display may differ
