MP3 DISC QUALITY FACTORS

The MACH

MP3 music system is designed for use with CD-DA (regular

audio discs), CD-R and CD-RW discs. Discs must comply with ISO 9660

and Joliet standards.
Several factors can effect disc playback quality:

Disc capacity — Each disc contains about 650 MB of storage capacity.

We do not recommend using high capacity discs containing 700MB of

storage.

Disc type — Some CD-RW discs may operate inconsistently and may

cause an error message to appear. We recommend burning MP3 files

onto CD-R discs.

Disc finalization — The disc may be left open for the purpose of

adding sessions to it at a later time, but be sure to close each session

or the disc will not play.

Bit rate — The player supports bit rates from 56–320 kbps, as well as

variable bit rate MP3 files, but lower bit rates will have a noticeable

effect on sound quality and are recommended only for speech or low

fidelity music material. We recommend that you encode MP3 files

using a high quality encoder.

PC configuration — Encoding MP3 files requires intensive use of your

computer’s resources. Follow the PC configuration recommendations

of the encoder software vendor. We recommend that you avoid

running other software applications on your PC during MP3 encoding

to avoid undesirable noise and distortion.

CD, MP3 AND CD PLAYER CARE

Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended

periods of time.

Do not insert more than one disc into the slot of the CD player (if

equipped).

Always store discs out of direct sunlight. Excessive heat may damage

or warp discs.

Use care when handling and playing CD-R and CD-RW discs, which

are more susceptible to damage from heat, light and stress than are

regular CDs.

Always insert and remove a disc by holding the disc flat, with the

playing surface facing down, in order to prevent damage to the disc or

the player.
