Music downloaded as instructed on the site and written onto a CD-R/RW disc can be played onthe DVD-A1.If music recorded on commercially available music CDs is converted on a computer into MP3 files using anMP3 encoder (conversion software), the data on a 12 cm CD is reduced into about 1/10 the amount of theoriginal data. Thus, when written in MP3 format, the data of about 10 music CDs can fit onto a single CD-R/RW disc. A single CD-R/RW disc can contain over 100 tracks.✽ Values when 5-minute tracks are converted with a standard bit rate of 128 kbps into MP3 files and using aCD-R/RW disc with a capacity of 650 MB.REMOTE CONTROL UNITRC-552POWERON POWEROFF OPEN /CLOSENTSC /PALDISPLAY SUBTITLE ANGLESKIP SLOW / SEARCHMENURETURNPURE DIRECTMEMORYPICTUREADJUST DIMMER ZOOMPROG/DIRCLEARCALLMARKERREPEAT A-B RANDOM V.S.S.SETUP PAGE - PAGE +1 2 34 5 67 8 90 SEARCH MODEAUDIOSTOP PLAYSTILL / PAUSETOP MENU+10ENTER32, 32, 3Listening to MP3 CD, CD-Rs and CD-RWs1Load the CD-R/RW disc on which the MP3format music files have been written into theDVD-A1.

It is not compatible with such other standards as “MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3”, “MPEG-2.5 AudioLayer 3”, MP1, MP2, etc.• It may not be possible to play some CD-R/RW discs due to disc properties, dirt, warping, etc.• The digital signals output when playing MP3 files are MP3 signals converted into PCM, regardless ofwhether the audio output presetting is set to “normal” or “PCM”. The signals are output with the samesampling frequency as that of the music source.• In general, the higher an MP3 file’s bit rate, the better the sound quality. On the DVD-A1, we recommendusing MP3 files recorded with bit rates of 128 kbps or greater.• MP3 files may not be played in the expected order, since the writing software may change the position ofthe folders and the order of the files when writing them on the CD-R/RW.• Programmed playback is not possible with MP3 discs.• When writing MP3 files on CD-R/RW discs, select “ISO9660 level 1” as the writing software format. Thismay not be possible with some types of writing software. For details, refer to the writing software’susage instructions.• With the DVD-A1 it is possible to display folder names and file names on the screen like titles. The DVD-A1 can display up to 8 characters, consisting of numbers, capital letters, and the “_” (underscore) mark.• If recorded in a format other than “ISO9660 level 1”, normal display and playback may not be possible. Inaddition, folder and file names including other symbols will not be displayed properly.• Be sure to add the extension “.MP3” to MP3 files. Files cannot be played if they have any extension otherthan “.MP3” or if they have no extension. (with Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by addingthe extension “.MP3” after the file name consisting of up to 8 capital or numbers and recording the fileson the CD-R/RW.)• Do not apply stickers, tape, etc., to either the label side or the signal side of CD-R/RW discs. If adhesivegets on the surface of a disc, the disc may get stuck inside the DVD-A1 and be impossible to eject.• The DVD-A1 is not compatible with packet write software.• The DVD-A1 is not compatible with ID3-Tag.• The DVD-A1 is not compatible with play lists.• Do not play CD-R/RW discs containing any files other than music CD files (in CDA format), MP3 and JPEGfiles. Doing so may result in malfunction or damage, depending on the type of file.
