5 Music sources playable on this CD player
You can play the fbfiowing 3 music sources on this CD player: • Audio CDs • ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format files • MP3 files
Usable disc formats You can use [SO 9660 Level 1/2 mid Joliet extension fbm_at discs only.
ATRAC3plus and ATRAC3
"ATRAC3plus," which stands for "Adaptive TransfOrm Acoustic Coding3plus" is audio compression technology, developed ti'om the ATRAC3 fbmaat. Though the ATRAC3plus format can compress music content to about 1/20 of its original size, you can still enjoy high quality sound. The available transfer bit rates are 64 kbps and 48 kbps.
"ATRAC3," which stands f0r "Adaptive TransfOrm Acoustic Coding3" is audio compression technology that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates. The ATRAC3 format can compress music content to about 1/10 of their original size, which contributes to reduction of the media volume. The available transfer bit rates are 132 kbps, 105 kbps and 66 kbps.
The usable number of groups and files • Maximmn number of groups: 255 • Maximum number of files: 999
For details, refer to the supplied booklet "SonicStage Simple Burnen"
Note on saving files on the media Do not save files in other formats or unnecessary groups on a disc that has ATRAC3plus/ ATRAC3 files.
MP3 files
MP3, which stands for MPEG-I Audio Layer3, a standard f0r audio files compression supported by the Motion Picture Expeits Group, an ISO (International Organization f0r Standardization) working goup, enables compression of audio files to about 1/10 of the data size of a standard compact disc. Since the MP3 encoding algorithm is public, there are various encoders/decoders that are compliant with this stmldard, including ti'eeware that is available for no charge. Thus, the MP3 stmldard is widely used in the computer field. The major specifications of the acceptable disc format are: • Maximum director7 levels: 8 • Acceptable characters for a file/folder name: A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9, (underscore) m I I_rgi"tcL! $ • When naming files, be sure to add the file exlension "mpY' to the file name • If you add the extension "rap3" to a file o_er than an MP3 file, the player will not be able to recognize the file properl3z • The file name does not correspond to _e ID3 tag ;t3
The usable number of groups and files t_ • Maximum tlulnber of groups: 100 • Maximum number of files: 400
Settings for compression and writing software • Tiffs CD player supports MP3 files with the ibllowing specifications: transfer bit rate: 16 - 320 kbps mad sampling fi'equencies: 32/44.1/48 kHz. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) is also supported. "Ib compress a source for an MP3 file, we recommend setting the transfer bit rate of the compression software to "44.1 kHz," "128 kbps," and "Constmat Bit Rate?' • "Ib record up to the maximum capacity, set to "halting of writingY • qb recoad at one time up to the maximum capacity on media that has nothing recorded on it, set to "Disc at Once?'
Notes on saving files on the media • Do not save files in other formats or unnecessary fblders on a disc that has MP3 files. • When a disc is inserted, the CD player reads all the information of fblders and files on that disc. If there are many folders on the disc, it may take a long time for play to begin or lbr the next file to start playback.
7 Difference between ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 and MP3
Groups and folders The ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 foHnat has a veiy simple structure. It consists of "files" and "groups?' A "file" is equivalent to a "track" of an audio CD. A "group" is a bundle of files and is equivalent to an "album?' A "group" has no directory-type structure (a new group cannot be made within an existing group). This CD player is designed to recognize an MP3 file folder as a "group" so that it can play CD-Rs/RWs recorded in both the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 I_rmat and those recorded in the MP3 format with the same operation.
Displaying the track name, etc. When playing a CD having ATRAC3pIus/ATRAC3 files or MP3 files on this CD player, track names, aitist names and album names are displayed. This CD player conforms to Version 1.1/2.2/ 2.3 of the [D3 tag format*. *ID3 tag is a fornlal foradding certain information (track name, albunl name, atlist name, ere.)to MP3 files
• This CD player cannot lecord music content on reeordable media, such as CD-Rs/RWs • CD-R_RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 ti_maat cannot be played on your computer • Playback capability may vmy depending on the quality of the disc and d_e condition oldie recording device.
