NOTE:
• The S-81 is compatible with “MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3” standards
(sampling frequency of 44.1 and 48 kHz). It is not compatible
with “MPEG-2 Audio Layer-3”, “MPEG-2.5 Audio Layer-3”, MP1
or MP2 standards.
•Programmed playback is not possible with discs containing files
recorded in MP3 or WMA format.
• The signals are output with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
• When writing MP3 files on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, set the writing
software’s format to “ISO9660 Level 1”. The files may not play
properly if they are recorded in other formats. Also note that with
some writing software it is not possible to record in ISO9660
format. If so, use a different program allowing you to record in
ISO9660 format.
•With MP3 files, the higher the bit rate, the better the sound
quality. The compatible bit rate range is 32 to 320 kbps for MP3
files, 64 to 160 kbps for WMA files. We recommend using MP3
files with bit rates of 128 kbps or greater on the S-81.
• Be sure to add the extensions “.MP3” or “.WMA” to MP3 or
WMA files, respectively. Files with extensions other than
“.MP3” or “.WMA” or files without extensions cannot be
played. (On Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by
giving the extension “.MP3” after the file name consisting up a
maximum of 8 alphanumeric characters and storing the files on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.)
• The S-81 is not compatible with packet write software or
playlists.
• Up to 32 characters of folder and file names can be displayed.
• The S-81 is compatible with MP3 ID3-Tag versions 1.x and 2.x.
• The time may not be displayed properly when searching or
pausing during variable bit rate playback.
• The time display cannot be switched using [TIME/DISPLAY].
• For files in which the title name and artist name data are stored,
the title name or artist name can be displayed in the play or pause
mode by pressing [TIME/DISPLAY].
• Multisession and CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
completely written can be played, but we recommend using
discs closed after a maximum of 10 sessions or discs that have
been completed.
• The S-81 is compatible with the titles, artists and albums of
WMA file meta tags.
• The maximum number of files and folders playable is 512 (total
of the number of folders and files). The maximum number of
folders is 256.
• Copyright-protected WMA files cannot be played. (“Not
Support” is displayed. Use 8 or 9 to select a different file.)
