MP3 disc playback
The unit can play back MP3 files on a private CD-R/RW
disc or commercial CD. We refer to a disc that contains
MP3 file as an “MP3 disc” in this manual.
Though available functions with MP3 discs are limited,
operations for the available functions are similar to those
with Audio CD discs.
Note that, if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files,
you can only play back files of either type selected by the
MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display
(see page 60).
About MP3 disc
On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on a
file. Files are sometimes grouped into a folder by artist,
album, category, etc. In addition, a folder can be a
member of another folder, creating hierarchical folder
layers. If you are familiar with a personal computer, you
may easily understand the hierarchical file/folder
construction of MP3 discs.
This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc
and manages files and folders by “Tracks” and “Groups”
in the following manners.
• Each file is regarded as a Track.
• A folder which has one or more files (Tracks) is
regarded as a Group.
• A folders’ folder which does not manage any file
directly is ignored.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped
into “Group 1.”
• The unit recognizes up to 150 Tracks per Group, and up
to 99 Groups per disc. It ignores those exceeding the
maximum numbers and cannot play back them. If
there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a
folder. Those files are also counted down from the
total number of 150.
Operations
The following table shows basic functions of basic
control buttons.
*You can skip a Track across a Group.
• If you press 3 during playback, or press 7 to stop
playback followed by 3, the unit starts playback from
the beginning of the current track.
• The 2/3 buttons work the same as the 4/¢
buttons.
What is MP3?
“MP3” stands for “MPEG Audio Layer-3,” and is the
part of the MPEG standard. It can store high quality
stereo audio using very little space by only saving the
audible sounds and discarding the sounds your ears
won’t pick up. A CD can store up to around 10 hours of
MP3 audio, which is 10 times as much as Audio CD.
NOTE
Make sure that the TV - DVD switch on
the remote control unit is set to “DVD”
when using the
5/∞/2/3 and numeric
buttons for controlling the unit.
NOTES for making a private MP3 disc
using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:
• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.
• Finalize the disc after completing recording.
• We recommend to record a material at 44.1-kHz Fs and
at the 128-kbps data transfer rate.

NOTES
• Some discs may not be played back because of the disc
characteristics or recording condition.
• Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not
be played back normally because of the disc
configuration or characteristics determined by the
writing (encoding) software and hardware used for
recording. Such symptoms may occur regardless of
whether using a disc you recorded or using a
commercially available disc.
• The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.
• The unit does not support the ID3 tag.
• If the disc is recorded with multiple sessions, the unit
supports up to five sessions.
• You cannot play back Tracks in the desired
(programmed) or random order.
• The unit only can play back Tracks with any of the
following file extensions; “.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mp3” and
“.mP3”.
• Time required for reading the disc contents differs with
discs, depending on the numbers of Groups (folders)
and Tracks (files) recorded, etc.
• While an MP3 disc is loaded, you cannot bring up any
preference display (see pages 56 and 57).
