MP3 MODE

In addition to playing regular audio CDs, the radio is

also able to play CD-ROMs on which audio files have

been stored using the MP3 compression format. The

radio operates as described in the "CD Player"

chapter when an ordinary audio CD is inserted.

To guarantee optimal playback quality it is advisable

to use good quality CDs mastered at the lowest

speed possible.

The files on an MP3 CD are structured by folder,

creating lists of all the folders containing MP3 tracks

(folders and subfolders are all displayed on the same

level); the folders that do not contain MP3 tracks

cannot be selected.

The operating conditions and specifications for

playing MP3 files are as follows:

❒ the CD-ROMs used should be burnt according to

the ISO 9660 standard;

❒ the music files must have an ".mp3" extension: files

with a different extension cannot be played;

❒ the following sampling frequencies can be played:

44.1 kHz, stereo (96 to 320 kbit) - 22.05 kHz,

mono or stereo (32 to 80 kbit);

❒ tracks with a variable bit-rate can be reproduced.

Note

The names of tracks must not contain the following

characters: spaces, ' (apostrophes), ( and ) (open and

close brackets). During the burning of a MP3 CD,

make sure that the names of the files do not contain

these characters; if they do, the radio will not be able

to play the tracks involved.
