What is MP3/WMA?MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) and WMA (Windows 
Media™ Audio) are the compression formats of 
digital audio. The former is developed by MPEG 
(Motion Picture Experts Group), and the latter is 
developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using these 
compression formats, you can record the contents 
of about 10 music CDs on a single CD media. (This 
 gures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R 
or CD-RW at a  xed bit rate of 128 kbps and a 
sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)
Note:
≥ MP3/WMA encoding and writing software is not 
supplied with this unit.
≥ CD writing software is not supplied with this unit.Points to Remember When 
Making MP3/WMA FilesCommon:
≥ High bit rate and high sampling frequency are 
recommended for high quality sounds.
≥ Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not 
recommended because playing time is not 
displayed properly and sound may be skipped.
≥ The playback sound quality differs depending on 
the encoding circumstances. For details, refer to 
the user manual of your own encoding software 
and writing software.
MP3:
≥ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps 
or more” and “ xed”.
WMA:
≥ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps 
or more” and “ xed”.
≥ Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA 
 le to enable this unit to playback.MP3/WMA Player 
(continued)
Notes on MP3/WMACaution:
≥ Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” fi le 
name extension to a fi le that is not in the 
MP3/WMA format. This may not only produce 
noise from the speaker damage, but also 
damage your hearing.

Recording MP3/WMA Files 
on a CD-Media≥ You are recommended to minimize the chances 
of making a disc that contains both CD-DA fi les 
and MP3/WMA fi les.
≥ If CD-DA fi les are on the same disc as MP3 
or WMA fi les, the songs may not play in the 
intended order, or some songs may not play at 
all. 
≥ When storing MP3 data and WMA data on the 
same disc, use different folders for each data. 
≥ Do not record  les other than MP3/WMA  les and 
unnecessary folder on a disc.
≥ The name of MP3/WMA  le should be added by 
rules as shown in the following descriptions and 
also comply with the rules of each  le system.
≥ You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA 
 les or displaying the information of MP3/WMA 
 les recorded with certain writing software or CD 
recorders.
≥ The  le extension “.mp3” or “.wma” should be 
assigned to each  le depending on the  le format.
≥ This unit does not have the play list function.
≥ Although Multi-session recording is supported, 
the use of Disc-at-Once is recommended.
Supported fi le systems:
ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, Apple Extension to ISO
