levelizer

During driving, noise in the car changes ac-

cording to the driving speed and road condi-

tions. The automatic sound levelizer (ASL)

monitors such varying noise and automati-

cally increases the volume level, if this noise

becomes greater. The sensitivity (variation of

volume level to noise level) of ASL can be set

to one of five levels.

Use Multi-Control to select ASL.

The maximum number of characters which

can be displayed for a file name, including

the extension (.mp3, .wma or .wav), is 64,

from the first character.

The maximum number of characters which

can be displayed for a folder name is 64.

In case of files recorded according to the

Romeo file system, only the first 64 charac-

ters can be displayed.

When playing discs with MP3/WMA/WAV

files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-

EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types

can be played only by switching mode be-

tween MP3/WMA/WAV and CD-DA.

The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-

comes better with an increased bit rate.

This unit can play recordings with bit rates

from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be

able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we

recommend using only discs recorded with

a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.

ADPCM). The sampling frequency shown

in the display may be rounded.

The sound quality of WAV files generally be-

comes better with a larger number of quan-

tization bits. This unit can play recordings

with 8 and 16 (LPCM) or 4 (MS ADPCM)

quantization bits, but in order to be able to

enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recom-

mend using discs recorded with the larger

number of quantization bits.

About folders and MP3/

WMA/WAV files

Notes

This unit assigns folder numbers. The user

can not assign folder numbers.

It is not possible to check folders that do not

include MP3/WMA/WAV files. (These folders

will be skipped without displaying the folder

number.)

An outline of a CD-ROM with MP3/WMA/

WAV files on it is shown below. Subfolders

are shown as folders in the folder currently

selected.

MP3/WMA/WAV files in up to 8 tiers of folders

can be played back. However, there is a delay

in the start of playback on discs with numer-

ous tiers. For this reason we recommend

creating discs with no more than 2 tiers.

It is possible to play back up to 99 folders on

one disc.

Appendix

Additional Information

Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code

modulation

This stands for linear pulse code modulation,

which is the signal recording system used for

music CDs and DVDs.

Terms

Bit rate

This expresses data volume per second, or bps

units (bits per second). The higher the rate,

the more information is available to reproduce

the sound. Using the same encoding method

(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better

the sound.

m3u

Playlists created using the ꢃWINAMPꢄ soft-

ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

ID3 tag

MP3

This is a method of embedding track-related

information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-

formation can include the track title, the ar-

tistꢁs name, the album title, the music genre,

the year of production, comments and other

data. The contents can be freely edited using

software with ID3 Tag editing functions.

Although the tags are restricted as to the num-

ber of characters, the information can be

viewed when the track is played back.

MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an

audio compression standard set by a working

group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-

dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress

audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-

ventional disc.

MS ADPCM

This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential

pulse code modulation, which is the signal re-

cording system used for the multimedia soft-

ware of Microsoft Corporation.

ISO9660 format

This is the international standard for the for-

mat logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the

ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the

following two levels.

Multi-session

Multi-session is a recording method that al-

lows additional data to be recorded later.

When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or

CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is

treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses-

sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-

sions on one disc.

Level 1:

The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con-

sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English

capital letters and half-byte numerals and the

ꢃ_ꢄ sign, with a file-extension of three charac-

ters.)

Level 2:

Number of quantization bits

The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-

cluding the separation mark ꢃ.ꢄ and a file ex-

tension). Each folder contains less than 8

hierarchies.

Extended formats

Joliet:

File names can have up to 64 characters.

Romeo:

File names can have up to 128 characters.

The number of quantization bits is one factor

in the overall sound quality; the higher the

ꢃbit-depthꢄ, the better the sound quality. How-

ever, increasing the bit-depth also increases

the amount of data and therefore storage

space required.

Packet write

This is a general term for a method of writing

on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file,

Appendix

Additional Information

just as is done with files on floppy or hard

discs.

VBR

VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally

speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more

widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit

rate according to the needs of audio compres-

sion, it is possible to achieve compression-

priority sound quality.

WAV

WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard

audio file format for Windows^®.

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio

and refers to an audio compression technol-

ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corpora-

tion. WMA data can be encoded by using

Windows Media Player version 7 or later.
