Disc Introduction

This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:

• CD (Audio CD)

• CD-R (CD-Recordable)

• CD-RW (CD-Rewritable)

• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW)

What is MP3?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1

(or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format

with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 kbps*). By using

MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contains 10 times as

much data volume as a regular CD can.

* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of

audio data will consume. The unit uses kbps (1,000 bits per

second). To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit

rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding (recording) is

128 kbps.

MP3 disc structure

On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file.

Files are grouped into a directory (or folder). Directories can

also include other directories, creating hierarchical directory

layers. (See “How are MP3 files recorded and played back?” ).

This unit manages files and directories as “tracks” and

“groups.” This unit can recognize up to 255 tracks, up to 64

groups per disc. The unit ignores those exceeding the

maximum numbers and cannot play them back.

About MP3 discs

• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time.

(It varies due to the complexity of the recording configuration.)

• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as

the disc format.

• This unit does not support multisession recording.

• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions—

“.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mP3”, and “.mp3”.

• Files other than MP3 are ignored.

• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc

characteristics or recording conditions.

How are MP3 files recorded and played back?

MP3 “tracks (files)” can be recorded in “group”—folders or

directories, in PC terminology.

During recording, the tracks and groups can be arranged

similarly to the tracks and folders/directories of computer

data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and

group can be linked to the root.

In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth

of nested directories—so called “hierarchy”—is eight

(inclusive of the root).

Playback order, track search order, and group search order of

the MP3 tracks recorded on a disc are determined by the

writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order

may be different from the one you have intended while

recording the groups and the tracks.

The illustration shows an ordinary example of how MP3

tracks are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are

played back and how they are searched for on this unit.

• The numbers in circles next to the MP3 tracks ( ) indicate

the playback order and search order of the MP3 tracks.

Normally this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the recorded

order.

• The numbers inside the groups indicate the playback order

and search order of the groups on an MP3 disc. Normally

this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the groups in the

recorded order.

The groups marked with asterisk (*) will be skipped since

they do not include any MP3 tracks.

Playing Back Discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW/MP3)

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs

(CD-ReWritable) can be played only if they are already

“finalized.”

• Usually you can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-

RWs recorded in music CD format. However, sometimes

they may not play depending on their characteristics or

recording conditions.

• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions

or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play on this unit because

of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if

the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is

because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for

regular discs.

General notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping

your discs and the mechanism clean.

• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on

shelves.

• Keep the unit’s disc tray closed when not in use.

Continued use of irregular shape discs

(heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.

Handling discs

• Remove the disc from its case by

holding it at the edge while pressing the

center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the

disc, or bend the disc.

• Put the disc back in its case after use to

prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface

of the disc when placing it back in its

case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,

temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a

straight line from center to edge.

DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional record

cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean the disc.
