MP3/USB/WMA-Operation
Instructions for TFT control and Insert/Eject are the same for DVD and MP3 operation. Please see the DVD/Disc Video Operation section for infor-
mation about these topics.
MP3/WMA Media and File Requirements
This player allows you to play back MP3 and WMA files recorded onto CD-R/RWs, DVD+R/RWs, and DVD-R/RWs. For CD-RW discs, please make
sure it is formatted using the full method and not the quick method to prevent illegal disc operation. Up to 1500 songs/files can be burned onto a
disc for a MEGA DVD music mix. Do not exceed this number of songs/files or disc readability problems may occur.
MP3 Format Compatibility
The file naming formats listed below are compatible with this unit:
• ISO 9660 – file name: 12 characters, file extension: 3 characters
• ISO 9660 – file name: 31 characters, file extension: 3 characters
• Joliet – 64 characters
If the file or folder name does not conform to ISO 9660 file system standards, it may not be displayed or played back correctly. Use the following
settings when compressing audio data for your MP3 disc:
• Transfer Bit Rate: 128kbps
• Sampling Frequency: 48kHz
When recording MP3 up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up to maximum disc capacity, use
the "Disc at once" setting.
MP3 Playing Order
When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order they were written by the CD writer.
As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set
the order in which MP3/WMA files are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequen-
ce numbers such as "01" to "99".For example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder
Select, as shown below.
The VME 9315TS player will only recognize three folder levels and does not display folders containing only other folders. In the example above, the
unit will display folders 3, 4, 6, and 8, but not 2 and 7 since they do not contain any tracks directly. Folder 5 is not recognized at all since it is at the
fourth level.
