Notes on MP3/DivX
What is MP3/DivX?
MP3: MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) is the compression format of
digital audio. It is developed by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts
Group). Using this compression format, you can record the con-
tents of about 10 music CDs on a single CD (This figure refers to
data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of
128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).
DivX: The video compression format developed by DivX, Inc.
compresses video files without any considerable loss of video
quality.
Note:
¡MP3/DivX encoding and CD writing software programs are not
supplied with this unit.
Points to remember when making MP3/DivX files

¡Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended
because playing time is not displayed properly and sound may
be skipped.

circumstances. For details, refer to the instructions of your
