PC-created disc compatibility
• If you record a disc using a personal
computer, even if it is recorded in a
compatible format as listed above, there
will be cases in which the disc may not
be playable in this machine due to the
setting of the application software used
to create the disc. In these particular
instances, check with the software
publisher for more detailed information.
• Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW
software disc boxes for additional
compatibility information.
MP3 audio compatibility
• This unit will play CD-ROM discs
containing files saved in the MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 format (MP3) with a
smapling rate of 32, 44.1 or 48kHz.
Incompatible files will not play and
“UNPLAYABLE” will be displayed on the
unit.
• Fixed bit-rate files are recommended.
Variable bit-rate (VBR) files are playable,
but playing time may not be shown
correctly.
• The CD-ROM used to compile your MP3

noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.
