MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios, reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format realises such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds. What is WMA? WMA, or "Windows MediaTM Audio," is compressed audio data. WMA is similar to MP3 audio data and can achieve CD quality sound with small file sizes. What is AAC? AAC is the abbreviation for "Advanced Audio Coding," and is a basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4. Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC codecs. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC files, refer to the user's manual for that software. MP3/WMA/AAC files that are playable on this device have the file extensions "mp3"/"wma"/"m4a." Files with no extension cannot be played back (WMA ver. 7.1 , 8 and 9 are supported). Protected files are not supported, neither are raw AAC files (using the ".aac" extension). There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm that the software being used conforms to the acceptable formats listed above. It's possible that the format may be unplayable even though the extension is valid. Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes version 6.0 or earlier is supported. 13-EN Order of files Files are played back in the order that the writing software writes them to the disc. Therefore, the playback order may not be what is expected. Verify the writing order in the software's documentation. The playback order of the folders and files is as follows. Sound Setting Rotary encoder /ESC SOURCE/ BAND/TA Root folder AUDIO/RTN/ A.SEL LOUD Adjusting Bass/Treble/Balance (Between Left and Right)/Fader (Between Front and Rear)/Defeat 1 Folder MP3/WMA/AAC File Press AUDIO/RTN repeatedly to choose the desired mode. Each press changes the mode as follows: SUBW* DEFEAT BASS TREBLE BALANCE VOLUME SUBW FADER * The folder No./folder Name will not be displayed if no file is contained in the folder. Terminology Bit rate This is the "sound" compression rate specified for encoding. The higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files. Sampling rate Subwoofer : 0 ~ +15 Bass level: ­7 ~ +7 Treble level: ­7 ~ +7 Balance : L15 ~ R15 Fader : R15 ~ F15 Defeat : ON/OFF Volume : 0 ~ 35 · If no operation is performed for 5 seconds after selecting the SUBW, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, FADER or DEFEAT mode, the unit automatically returns to normal mode. * When the subwoofer mode is set to OFF, its level cannot be adjusted. This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled (recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the volume of data. Encoding 2 Turn the Rotary encoder until the desired sound is obtained in each mode. By setting Defeat ON, previously adjusted settings of BASS and TREBLE will return to the factory defaults. Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the specified audio compression format.
