MP3/WMA FILE REQUIREMENTS
MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) music 
files are digital audio files that are compressed 
to allow more files on a single CD. This unit can 
play MP3/WMA directly from files contained on 
a CD-R/RW, USB device or SD card using the 
buttons on the receiver (or remote control) as 
described below. Many types of software are 
available for converting audio files into MP3/
WMA formats. Phase Linear recommends Nero 
or Roxio Easy CD Creator.
 Depending on the 
media type and recording method, some CD-R/
RWs may be incompatible with this unit. The 
unit supports playback of MP3/WMA and CDDA 
(CDA), Mixed-Mode CDs and CD-Extra 
(including multi-session discs), but discs on 
which the session has not been closed will 
not play

MP3/WMA, pay attention to the following 
restrictions.
