Playing a disc with MP3
files
About MP3 files
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 (recordable CDs), and CD-RWs
(rewritable CDs).
The disc must be in the ISO 9660* level 1 or
level 2 format.
*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 Level 1,
file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than
eight characters in the name, no more than three
characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital
letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight
characters. There can be no more than eight nested
folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names
and folder names up to 31 characters long.
To program the MP3 files
After step 3, press ALBUM +/– repeatedly
until the folder you want appears, and then go
to step 4.
Tips
•The program you made remains in the CD player
after it has been played back. Press HX to play
the same program again.
• “--.--” appears when the total CD program time
exceeds 100 minutes, when you select a CD track
whose number is 21 or over or when you
programmed MP3 files.
