Notes:
•  The system displays artist name and song title information when 

available on music file CDs.

•  The audio quality of MP3 CDs is dependent on factors such as 

the encoded bit rate, the sampling rate, and the type of encoder 

used. The system supports MP3 CDs encoded at bit rates of 

64kbps or higher, and sampling rates of 32kHz or higher. It is 

recommended that a bit rate of at least 128kbps and a sampling 

rate of 44.1kHz or better be used.

•  Playback quality of recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs is depen-

dent on the CD recording process and software used to record 

the disc. An improperly recorded audio CD may cause the sys-

tem to exhibit unexpected behavior.
