 Operating Tips for MP3

MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3, 

which is standardized voice compression 

established by the ISO

*1

 working group 

(MPEG). 

Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be 

compressed to approximately a tenth of 

the source data size.

This unit plays files with the extension 

(.mp3) as MP3 files.

*1 International Organization for 

Standardization

CAUTION

Do not use an audio file extension on 

files other than audio files. In addition, 

do not change the audio file extension. 

Otherwise, the unit will not recognize 

the file correctly resulting in noise or a 

malfunction.
