• Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.

ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and with Apple's Mac. These two formats are the most widely used. • When naming your MP3 or WMA files do not exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3, .wma" as the file extension. General name format of: Title.mp3. or Title.wma. When composing your title, make sure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+). • Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting audio CD sound quality requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192 Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality. Conversely, files with decompression rates below 128 Kbps will not be played properly. • Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps when recording WMA files.

You cannot copy such files. • Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the files). • This unit can play a maximum of 500 files and 300 folders per disc.

About Speaker Setup

1 Center Speaker Ideally, the center speaker should be positioned at the same height as the front speakers, but it may be placed above or below your TV set. 2 Surround Speakers It is better to place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly downwards, about 24 to 35 inches (60-90 cm) above your ear. If your listening position is too close to the rear wall, place these speakers at the left and right of the listening position so that they face each other. 3 Front Speakers It is better to place these speakers so that their tweeters are at your ear level, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you. 4 Subwoofer The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like. ➢ Please do not set up the Subwoofer near by TV or monitor because the Subwoofer is not fully magnetic shielded. Ideal Speaker Arrangement RADIO ANT.
