Combinations ofsampling rates and bit rates for music fileswhich the recorder can play back are givenbelow.File format Samplingfrequency Bit rateWAV format * 44.1 kHz 16 bitMP3 formatMPEG1 Layer3:32 kHz, 44.1 kHz,48 kHzMPEG2 Layer3:16 kHz, 22.05 kHz,24 kHzFrom 8 kbpsup to 320kbpsWMA format8 kHz, 11 kHz,16 kHz, 22 kHz,32 kHz, 44.1 kHz,48 kHzFrom 5 kbpsup to 320kbps* WS-803, WS-802 only.Locating the beginning of a fileWhile the recorder is in stop modeor playback mode, press the 9button.• The recorder skips to the beginning ofthe next file.While the recorder is in playbackmode, press the 0 button.• The recorder skips to the beginning ofthe current file.While the recorder is in stop mode,press the 0 button.• The recorder skips to the beginning ofthe previous file. If the recorder is inthe middle of a file, it will return to thebeginning of the file.While the recorder is in playbackmode, press the 0 button twice.• The recorder skips to the beginning ofthe previous file.Notes• When you skip to the beginning of thefile during playback, the recorder stopsat the position of the index mark or tempmark. Index marks and temp marks areskipped when you perform this operationin stop mode (☞ P.42).• When [Skip Space] is set to a settingother than [File Skip], the recorder skipsforward/reverse by the specified timeand then starts playback (☞ P.63).• Variable bit rate MP3 files (in whichconversion bit rates can vary) may not beplayed back properly.• For WAV files, this recorder can onlyplay back those in the linear PCM format.WAV files other than these cannot beplayed back.• Even if the file format is compatible forplayback on this recorder, the recorderdoes not support every encoder.
