while advances have been made to ensure that your disc player is compatible with the largest number of discs 

possible, it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to play discs which might not be compliant with audio cD 

standards. In the case of writable and re-writable discs, compatibility with this player depends on the cD/DVD writer, 

the authoring/writing software and the disc used.

Digital video discs -12 cm and 8 cm, single or double 

sided, single or dual layer. DVD’s are high-density 

optical discs on which high quality picture and audio 

are recorded by means of digital signals.

cD-r and cD-rw discs containing audio files in mp3 

format. as for cD-r mp3 discs, please follow all the 

recommendations for cD-r above, along with the 

comments below:

your mp3 files should be Iso 9660 or JolIet 

•

format. Iso 9660 format and Joliet mp3 files are 

compatible with microsoft’s Dos and windows, 

as well as with apple mac. these two formats are 

the most widely used.
mp3 filenames should not exceed 10 characters, 

•

and should end with the “.mp3” extension. 

general name format: “title.mp3”. when 

composing your title ensure that you use 8 

characters or less, have no spaces in the name, 

and avoid the use of special characters including 

( . / \ = +).
use a decompression transfer rate of at least 

•

128 kb/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording 

mp3 files. sound quality with mp3 files 

basically depends on the rate of compression 

/ decompression you choose. obtaining audio 

cD quality sound requires an analog/digital 

sampling rate, that is conversion to mp3 format, 

of at least 32 kb/sec and up to 160 kb/sec. files 

with sampling rates below 32 kb/sec will not play 

properly.
Do not try recording copyright-protected mp3 

•

files. “secured” files are encrypted and code-

protected to prevent illegal copying. you must 

not copy such files

most cD-r (one recording only) and cD-rw discs  

(re-writable). this player can play most cD-r discs. 

cD-r’s written during a multi-session recording can also 

be played, provided that the session has ended before 

the disc is played (depending on the burning software). 

however, depending on the cD writer, computer and 

the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play 

successfully. when playing a cD-r disc, it is completely 

normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to 

recognize the disc before starting to play. If the disc is 

not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove 

the disc, and then insert it again.

Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of 

•

the cD-r, do not use its full capacity.
cD-r’s should be preferably used instead of  

•

cD-rw’s (re-writable cD’s) as, in certain cases, 

cD-rw playback may be faulty.
use reliable, good-quality cD burning software.
