MP3 is audio compression technology that satisfies certain ISO/MPEG regulations. You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CDRs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) format. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2, or Joliet format for the recorder to recognize the tracks. You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session. See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CDRW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

The recorder may not be able to play some DATA CDs created in the Packet Write format. The recorder will play any data with the extension.MP3, even if they are not in MP3 format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system. The recorder does not conform to audio tracks in MP3PRO format. The recorder can recognize up to a total number of 999 albums and tracks in a DATA CD. The recorder may not recognize some discs depending on the recording device used for recording or the disc condition. The recorder can play MP3 audio tracks recorded in the following sampling frequencies: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz. Only the letters in the alphabet and numbers can be used for album or track names.
