I:> I c; 1-r.A..L
The BBE MP process improves digitally
compressed sound, such as MP3, by restoring
and enchancing the higher harmonics lost through
compression. BBE MP works by generating
even-order harmonics from the source material,
effectively recovering warmt h, detail and nuance.

About M P3 fi Ies
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard
technology and format for compressing a sound
sequence. The file is compressed to about 1/10 of
its original size. Sounds outside the range of
human hearing are compressed while the sounds
we can hear are not compressed.
Notes on discs
You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs,
CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.
The disc must be in the ISO 9660*' level 1 or
level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the
expansion format.
You can use a disc recorded in Multi Session*2.
.*1 ISO 9660 Format
The most common international standard for
the logical format of files and folders on a
CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. In
Levell, file names must be in the 8.3 format
(no more than 8 characters in the name, no
more than 3 characters in the extension
".MP3") and in capital letters. Folder names
can be no longer than 8 characters. There can
be no more than 8 nested folder levels. Level
2 specifications allow file names up to 31
characters long.
Each folder can have up to 8 trees.
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format,
make sure of the contents of the writing
software, etc.
*2 Multi Session
This is a recording method that enables
adding of data using the Track-At-Once
method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD
control area called the Lead-in and end at an
area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a
CD having multiple sessions, with each
segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded
as a single session.
CD-Extra: The format which records audio
(audio CD data) as tracks on session 1, and
records data as tracks on session 2.
Mixed CD: In this format, data is recorded as
track 1, and audio (audio CD data) is recorded
as track 2.
8
Notes
.With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1and level 2,
folder names or file names may not be displayed
correctly.
When naming, be sure to add the file extension
".MP3" to the file name.
If you put the extension ".MP3" to afile other than
MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and
will generate random noise that could damage your
speakers.
.The following discs take alonger time to start
playback.
-adisc recorded with complicated tree structure.
-adisc recorded in Multi Session.
-adisc to which data can be added.
Cautions when pfaying adisc that is recorded in
Mufti Session
.When the first track of the first session is audio CD
data:
Only audio CD data of the first session is played
back.
Any data in subsequent sessions is skipped.
.When the first track of the first session is not audio
CD data:
-If an MP3 file is in the disc, only MP3 file(s) is
played back and other data is skipped. (Audio CD
data is not recognized.)
-If no MP3 file is in the disc, "NO MUSIC" is
displayed and nothing is played back. (Audio CD
data is not recognized.)

The playback order of the MP3 files
The playback order of the folders and files is as
follows: oFolder (album)
MP3 file (track)
Tree 1
(root) Tree 2 Tree 4 Tree 5
Tree 3
Notes
.A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
.When you insert adisc with many trees, it takes a
longer time to start playback. We recommend that
you make only 1or 2trees for each disc.
.Maximum folder number: 150 (including root folder
and empty folders)
.The maximum number of MP3 files and folders that
can be contained in adisc: 300
When afile/folder name contains many characters,
this number may become less than 300.
Tip
To specify adesired playback order, before the folder
or file name, input the order by number (e.g., "01,"
"02'), then record contents onto adisc. (The order
differs depending on the writing software.)
