General information
Some words about MP3
The revolutionary new music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) enables to shrink down original digital audio sound data with a factor of up to 10 without losing signi�cant sound quality.This allows you to record up to 10 hours of CD-like quality music on a single CD-ROM. Making your own MP3-CD Basically there are two sources for MP3 music on CD.You can either create (�rip�) it from your own digital audio CDs or download legal MP3 music from the Internet. Record (�burn�) the music from your hard disc on CD-ROM with your home PC (make sure �lename ends with .mp3). Once �nished, you can play your MP3-CD on this set and enjoy the music. Data rate The data rate is of great importance with MP3. It indicates how fast bits are transfered. Stereo music on a CD shows a data rate of about 1400 kilobits per second (kbps). To achieve a good MP3 quality a bit rate of 128 kbps is recommended. As the encoding rate is user-selectable, make sure to reach this data rate for MP3 as recordings less than 128 kbps will suffer from a degradation in sound quality. Recording Downloading MP3 �les from the Internet or ripping songs from your own digital audio CDs is a delicate process, also in�uenced by the quality of the encoder program and speed of your PC.This may sometimes result in �drop-outs� which you may experience while listening to your MP3-CD. In any case make sure to use a recording speed not faster than indicated on the CD-ROM and avoid running other programs simultaneously on your PC during the recording process. It is not possible to �burn� an MP3-CD on this CD recorder. It is not possible to record from an MP3-CD. Supported formats Following formats are supported on this CD recorder/changer: � Disc format: ISO 9660 or Joliet � Filename: .mp3 (tracks), .m3u or .pls (playlists) � Bit rate: 32�320 kbps (128 kbps advised) or variable bit rate

Do not expose the set, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).

The lenses may cloud over when the set is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD(RW) is not possible then. Leave the set in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

Disc handling
