Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same
format used for CDs arrd most studio masters.
Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel
encode to create the realistic surround sound.

back such a disc, "LR ONLY" appears on the display arrd

• For MP3/JPEG playback...
MP3/JPEG discs are required a longer readout time than
regular CDs. (It depends on tire complexity of the group/
file configuration.)
Some MP3/JPEG files cannot be played back arrd will be
skipped. This results from their recording processes arrd
conditions.
- When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level
2 for the disc format.

extension code <.rap3> or <.jpg> (regardless of the letter

It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
