Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave 
(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital 
encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken 
per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of 
the original sound.

Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R/CD-RW)
≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended 
formats).
≥This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of 
sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of 
sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
≥When there are more than 8 groups, the eighth group onwards will 
be displayed on one vertical line in the menu screen.
≥There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen 
and computer screen.
≥This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
Naming folders and files
At the time of recording, prefix folder and 
file names with 3-digit numbers in the 
order you want to play them (this may not 
work at times).
Files must have the extension:
“.WMA” or “.wma”
“.MP3” or “.mp3”
“.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”[WMA]
≥You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
≥This unit is not compatible with Multiple Bit Rate (MBR).
[MP3]
≥This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
≥Compatible sampling rate: 8, 11.02, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and 
48 kHz.
[JPEG]
≥To view JPEG files on this unit:
– Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF Standard 
(Design rule for Camera File system) Version 1.0. Some digital 
cameras have functions that are not supported by the DCF 
Standard Version 1.0 like automatic picture rotation which may 
render a picture un-viewable.
– Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different 
name.
≥This unit cannot display moving pictures, MOTION JPEG and other 
such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (e.g. TIFF) or play 
pictures with attached audio.

[Note]
≥Pause stops after 5 minutes. Cue, review and jet search restart to

rewind so the unit will make a noise. Also, it takes some time for the 
tape to stop after you press [∫].

otherwise affected on some televisions. During jet search at 35 times 
normal speed through EP or VP recordings, the picture may scroll

this occurs (l38).≥Jet rewind function is not applicable for 160 minutes tape and above.
