mp3 recommendations
•  Use .mp3 as the extension when converting
audio files into mp3 for saving onto CD-R(W) or
CD-ROM, e.g. Rocky08.mp3. Do not use any other
extension e.g. .doc, .pdf.  
•  Do not use the .mp3 extension for other text or
non-audio data files as this may result in serious
malfunction and harmful noise interference.
•  Most commonly available CD creation software
can make files compatible for the system but do
not forget to finalize your disc after creation.  This
set cannot read DirectCD recordings.
• In order to get audio CD quality, you need to
record your MP3 CD at 128 kbps.  You can record
up to 256 kbps.  The unit might not read the file
which is not recorded within this range.
•  Do not combine CD Audio and mp3 tracks onto
a CD-R(W) or CD-ROM.  The player will only 
playback CD audio tracks from mixed CD formats.
•  The file name of mp3 songs should not exceed
10 characters.
Note:
•  If over 400 items (songs/folders) are on
the disc, only the first 400 songs can be
played.
•  Resume function does not operate in mp3 mode.
Note:
If the CD is a mp3 CD, reading may take up
to 30 seconds.  Try re-inserting the disc if it
is not detected after 30 seconds.
Note:
Be sure to remove the disc from the disc
compartment before moving or transport-
ing the unit!
