CD Player

We can play the following audio formats:

  • CD-DA: 44.1kHz, 16bit, Stereo
  • MP2: 32/44.1/48kHz, 32 to 384kbps (data CD)
  • MP3: 32/44.1/48kHz, 32 to 320kbps, VBR (data CD)
  • WAV: 8/16/32/11.025/22.05/44.1/12/24/48kHz, 8/16bit (data CD)

Music CDs that are commercially available and CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded as audio CD format can be played. These types of discs are called “audio CDs.”

We can play back CD-ROM/R/RW discs with MP3, MP2 and WAV files in ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 and Joliet formats. These types of discs are called, “data CDs.”

We cannot read CD-R/RW discs that have not been finalized.

MP3 and MP2 files are identified by their “.mp3” and “.mp2” file extensions. We cannot play MP3/MP2 files that do not have the correct “.mp3” and “.mp2” file extension, so always include these file extensions at the ends of MP3/MP2 file names.

The unit identifies WAV files with the “.wav” file extension. This unit cannot play WAV files that do not have the “.wav” file extension, so always include the “.wav” file extension at the end of the name of an WAV file.

Data CDs with more than 999 files or 512 folders might not play correctly.
