CD-R MP3/WMA file  
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least  
64Kbps when recording WMA files.  
When you record MP3 or WMA files on CD-R,  
please refer to the following.  
Sound quality with WMA files basically depends  
on the rate of compression/decompression you  
choose.  
- Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or  
JOLIET format.  
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are  
compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows,  
and with Apple's Mac. This format is the most  
widely used.  
Getting CD audio sound requires an  
analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to  
WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to  
192Kbps.  
- When naming your MP3 or WMA files, do not  
exceed 8 characters, and enter “.mp3, .wma”  
as the file extension.  
Conversely, files with decompression rates below  
64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be played  
properly.  
General name format : Title.mp3. or Title.wma.  
When composing your title, make sure that you  
use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the  
name, and avoid the use of special characters  
including: (.,/,\,=,+).  
- Do not try recording copyright protected MP3  
files.  
Certain "secured" files are encrypted and code  
protected to prevent illegal copying. These files  
are of the following types: Windows MediaTM  
(registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and  
SDMITM (registered trade mark of The SDMI  
Foundation). You cannot copy such files.  
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least  
128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.  
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends  
on the rate of compression/decompression you  
choose. Getting CD audio sound requires an  
analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to  
MP3 format, of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160  
Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192  
Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound  
quality. Conversely, files with decompression  
rates below 128 Kbps will not be played properly.  
- Important:  
The above recommendations cannot be taken as  
a guarantee that the DVD-VCR will play MP3  
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality.  
You should note that certain technologies and  
methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs  
prevent optimal playback of these files on your  
DVD-VCR (degraded sound quality and in some  
cases, inability of the player to read the files).  
- This unit can play a maximum of 3000 files and  
300 folders per disc.
