Use a decompressiontransfer rate of at least

When you record MP3 or WMA files on CD-R,
please refer to the following.

Sound quality with WMA files basically depends
on the rate of cornpresslon/decompressionyou
choose.

- Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or
JOLIET format.
ISO 9660 format and JolietMP3 or WMA files are
compatiblewith Microsoft's DOSand Windows.
and with Apple's Mac. This format is the most
widely used.

Getting CD audio sound requ res an
analog/digitalsampling rate. that is conversionto
WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to
192Kbps.

- When namingyour MP3 or WMAfiles, do not

properly.

exceed 8 characters, and enter ".mp3, .wma"
as the file extension,
General name format : Title.mp3.or Title.wma.
When composingyour title, make sure that you
use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the
name. and avoid the use of special characters
including: (.,/,\,=,+).

- Do not try recordingcopyright protected MP3
files.
Certain "secured"files are encryptedand code
protectedto prevent illegal copying.These files
are of the following types: Windows MediaTM
(registeredtrade mark of Microsoft Inc) and
SDMITM (registeredtrade mark of The SDMI
Foundation).You cannot copy such files.

- Use a decompressiontransfer rate of at least
128 Kbpswhen recordingMP3 files.
Sound quality with MP3 files basicallydepends
on the rate of compression/decompressionyou
choose.Getting CD audio sound requiresan
analog/digitalsampling rate, that is conversionto
MP3format, of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160
Kbps. However,choosing higher rates, like 192
Kbpsor more, only rarelygive better sound
quality.Conversely,files with decompression
rates below 128 Kbps will not be played properly,

- Important:
The above recommendationscannot be taken as
a guaranteethat the DVD-VCRwill play MP3
recordings,or as an assuranceof souna quality.
Youshould note that certain technologiesand
methodsfor MP3 file recordingon CD-Rs
prevent optimal playbackof these files on your
