Before playing MP3 or WMA files
There are many music distribution sites on the Internet from which
you can download files in MP3 or WMA (Windows Media Audio)
format. Music (files) downloaded from these sites can be played on
the CHR-F103 if they have been burned onto CD-R/CD-RW discs.
Creating MP3 or WMA discs (CD-R/CD-RW discs)
compatible with the CHR-F103
•When recording MP3 or WMA files onto CD-R/CD-RW discs, set the
writing software’s format to “ISO9660 level 1”. Files recorded in
other formats may not play properly.
• When burning MP3 or WMA files onto CD-R/CD-RW discs, avoid
using a folder hierarchy with more than 8 levels. Files and folders
from folder level 9 or lower cannot be played.
• The maximum number of files and folders that can be played is
1,000 (total for the number of files and folders). The maximum
number of folders is 255.
• The CHR-F103 is not compatible with packet write software or
playlists.
• Also read the operating instructions of the software used to create
the MP3 or WMA files.
• Be sure to give the extension “.MP3” or “.WMA” to MP3 or WMA
files. The files cannot be played if they have any other extensions.
(For Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by giving the
files the extension “.MP3” after a file name consisting of no more
than 8 capital letters or numbers before storing them on the CD-
R/CD-RW disc.)
Your recordings may be used for your personal enjoyment only,
and may not be used for other purposes without the consent of
the copyright holder as per copyright laws.
