PLAYING MP3 FILES
There are many sites on the Internet from which you
can download music files in MP3 format. These files
can be downloaded following the instructions on the
site and stored on CD-R/RW discs which can then be
played on the DN-C635.
The music on commercially available music CDs can
be converted into MP3 files on a computer using MP3
encoding programs. When this is done, the data is
reduced to approximately 1/10 the original size. This
MP3 data can then be stored on a CD-R/RW disc,
allowing you to create a single 12 cm CD-R/RW disc
containing about 10 times more music than a normal
music CD, that is some 100 tracks or more (*).
* This is an approximately value for MP3 files of
tracks about 5 minutes long converted at a standard
bit rate (128 kbps) and stored on a CD-R/RW disc
with a capacity of 650 MB.
✽ Recordings you make are for your personal use and
should not be used in ways infringing upon the
copyright holder as per copyright laws.
✽ MP3 may require time for reading.
✽ With disc condition it may not play properly.
NOTES :
• The DN-C635 is compatible with “MPEG-1 Audio
Layer-3”, “MPEG-2 Audio Layer-3” and “MPEG-
2.5 Audio Layer-3”. It is not compatible with MP1
or MP2 standards.
SAMPLING FREQUENCY
• When writing MP3 files on a CD-R/RW disc, set
the writing program’s format to “ISO9660 level 1”
or “ISO9660 level 2”, “Joliet” or “Romeo”. MP3
files written in other formats may not play
properly. With some writing programs it is not
possible to record in “ISO9660” format. Use an
“ISO9660” format writing program.
• Generally speaking, the higher the MP3 file’s bit
rate, the better the sound quality. With the DN-
C635 it is recommended to use MP3 files written
with a bit rate of 128 kbps or greater.
• The writing program may change the positions of
the folders and files when writing the MP3 files
on the CD-R/RW disc, so the files may not be
played in the expected order.
• Make sure to give MP3 files the extension
“.MP3”. Files with extensions other than “.MP3”
or without extensions cannot be played. (On
Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by
adding the extension “.MP3” after the file name
consisting of a maximum of 8 Roman capital
letters and / or numerals when recording them on
CD-R/RW discs.)
• To protect copyrights, no digital signals are output
when playing MP3 files.
• A maximum of 255 folders can be played on the
DN-C635. Folders over 8 layers down, however,
cannot be played. The maximum number of files
is also 999. If there are 1,000 files, only the first
999 are played. (Files other than those with the
extension “.MP3” are not counted.)
• On the DN-C635, folder and file names can be
displayed like titles. Roman capital letters and/or
numerals and “__” (underscores) are scrolled.
(However, a maximum of 31 characters can be
displayed.) In addition, folder and file names using
other symbols will not be displayed properly.
• The DN-C635 is compatible with ID3-tag (Ver. 1.*,
Ver. 2.0).
• It may not be possible to play some CD-R/RW
discs due to dirt, scratches or the disc’s
properties.
• Do not apply seals or tape to the label or signal
side of CDs or CD-R/RW discs. The glue could get
on the disc surface, making the disc get stuck
inside the set.
• The DN-C635 is multi-session compatible.
Only music CDs can be played if the first session
is a music CD, and only MP3 files can be played if
the first session consists of MP3 files.
• The DN-C635 is compatible with play lists.

NOTES:
• With some writing programs it may not play

• Play List may require time for reading.
• The maximum number of play lists is also 255.
If there are over 255 play lists, only the first
255 are performed.
1. Press the PITCH button !5.
• The pitch LED is flashed.
• The play speed decreases when the pitch slider
is moved upwards, increases when the pitch
slider is moved downwards.
2. Press the PITCH button !5 again.
• The pitch LED is lit.
• The play speed set with the pitch slider is held.
In this state, the play speed will not change even
if the pitch slider is moved.
• When the playback speed is preset in the preset
mode, that play speed is set.
3. Press the PITCH button !5 again to return to the
normal speed.
• The pitch LED is turned off.

NOTE:
• When the play speed is changed, the sampling
frequency of the digital output signal also
changes, so it may not be possible to receive
digital signals.
