Audio Operations
I Multi-sessions
Multi-sessions are supported and CD-R/RW with recorded MP3/WMA
files can be played.
However, when writing with Track-At-Once, be sure to finalize the disc
with session close or write protect.
I About MP3/WMA playback
When you load a disc containing MP3/WMA files, the system first
checks all files recorded on the disc. If the disc has many files and
folders, the system may take a while to check them.
While the system is checking the disc, the music that was playing
continues to play.
To allow quick checking of files, we recommend that you do not save
non-MP3/WMA files or create unnecessary folders on the disc.
Also, we recommend that you write the all data in a single session
because the system takes longer to read the CD control information of
a multi-session disc.
I About the MP3/WMA playing time display
It is possible that the playing time will not be correct, depending on the
writing condition of the MP3/WMA file.
* It is possible that the playing time will not be correct when VBR (Variable
Bit Rate) Fast Up/Down is operated.
Creating and Playing MP3/WMA Files
Creating MP3/WMA files by recording them from sources such as
broadcasts, records, recordings, videos and live performances without
permission from the copyright holder for uses other than personal
enjoyment is prohibited.
CAUTION
• To ensure stable sound quality during playback, we
recommend fixing the bit rate to 128 kbps and the sampling
frequency to 44.1 kHz.
• Note that it may not be possible to read some CD-R or CDRW discs, depending on their characteristics.
• There are many types of MP3/WMA encoding software
available, including commercial and freeware programs.
Depending on the encoder and the file format, the audio
quality may deteriorate, noise may be generated when
playing starts, or some recordings may not play.
• When files other than MP3/WMA files are recorded on a disc,
the system may take some time to recognize the disc and it
may not play.
