Operating tips for MP3

�

This audio system handles MP3 files that 
have been recorded on CD-R/CD-RW/CD-
ROMs. Discs that have been recorded 
using the following formats can be played:

• ISO 9660 level 1
• ISO 9660 level 2
• Joliet extended format
• Romeo extended format

�

This unit handles MP3 files conforming to 
the MP3 format containing both header 
frames and data frames.

�

If a disc has both music data (CD-DA) and 
MP3 files, playback of the two file types 
differs depending on how the disc was 
recorded.

�

Packet written discs cannot be played on 
this unit.

�

This unit does not play CDs recorded 
using MP3i (MP3 interactive), MP3 PRO 
and RIFF MP3 formats.

Specialized glossary

MP3

Abbreviation for “MPEG Audio Layer 3”.
A technical standard for audio compression 
as decided by an ISO (International 
Organization for Standardization) MPEG 
working group.
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be 
compressed to approximately a tenth of the 
source data size.

ISO 9660

An international standard for logical 
formatting of CD-ROM files and folders.
It is divided into three separate levels based 
on differences in file naming procedures, 
data configuration and other characteristics.

Bit rate

Refers to the volume of data per second, 
expressed in bps (bits per second).
Generally, the larger the number of the 
transfer bit rate when compressing an MP3 
file, the more information regarding musical 
reproduction it carries, and therefore the 
better the sound quality.

Packet writing

A general term for the method, similar to that 
used for floppy discs or hard drives, of 
recording the required file in a single 
increment on a CD-R and similar.
