Audio system

■

MP3 and WMA files
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER 3) is a standard audio compression format.
Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size by using MP3 com-

pression.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.
This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3 format.
There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file standards that can be used and to the media/

formats on which the files are recorded.

●

MP3 file compatibility
• Compatible standards

MP3 (MPEG1 LAYER3, MPEG2 LSF LAYER3)

• Compatible sampling frequencies

MPEG1 LAYER3: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

MPEG2 LSF LAYER3: 16, 22.05, 24 (kHz)

• Compatible bit rates (compatible with VBR)

MPEG1 LAYER3: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320 (kbps)

MPEG2 LSF LAYER3: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160 (kbps)

• Compatible channel modes: stereo, joint stereo, dual channel and monaural

●

WMA file compatibility

• Compatible bit rates (only compatible with 2-channel playback)

Ver. 7, 8: CBR 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192 (kbps)

Ver. 9: CBR 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, 320 (kbps)

●

Compatible media
Media that can be used for MP3 and WMA playback are CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
Playback in some instances may not be possible if the CD-R or CD-RW is not final-

ized. Playback may not be possible or the audio may jump if the disc is scratched or

marked with fingerprints.

●

Compatible disc formats
The following disc formats can be used:
• Disc formats: CD-ROM Mode 1 and Mode 2

CD-ROM XA Mode 2, Form 1 and Form 2

• File formats: ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2, (Romeo, Joliet)

MP3 and WMA files written in any format other than those listed above may not

play correctly, and their file names and folder names may not be displayed correctly.

Items related to standards and limitations are as follows:
• Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels (including the root)

• Maximum length of folder names/file names: 32 characters

• Maximum number of folders: 192 (including the root)

• Maximum number of files per disc: 255

274

5-4. Playing audio CDs and MP3/WMA discs

●

File names
The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played are those with the

extension .mp3 or .wma.

●

Discs containing multi-session recordings
As the audio system is compatible with multi-sessions, it is possible to play discs that

contain MP3 and WMA files. However, only the first session can be played.

●

ID3 and WMA tags
ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track title, artist

name, etc.
The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3 ID3 tags. (The number

of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)
WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record the track title and

artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.

●

MP3 and WMA playback
When a disc containing MP3 or WMA files is inserted, all files on the disc are first

checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3 or WMA file is played. To make

the file check finish more quickly, we recommend you do not write in any files other

than MP3 or WMA files or create any unnecessary folders.
Discs that contain a mixture of music data and MP3 or WMA format data cannot be

played.

●

Extensions
If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and WMA files,

they will be mistakenly recognized and played as MP3 and WMA files. This may result

in large amounts of interference and damage to the speakers.

●

Playback
• To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit rate of at least

128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

• CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be possible in some instances, depending on

the characteristics of the disc.

• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3 and WMA

files on the market, and depending on the status of the encoding and the file format,

poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback may result. In some cases, play-

back may not be possible at all.

• When files other than MP3 or WMA files are recorded on a disc, it may take more

time to recognize the disc and in some cases, playback may not be possible at all.

• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trademarks of

Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries.
