We callfiles that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.zz The VCR/DVD Recorder cannot read an MP3 filethat has a file extension other than “.mp3”.MP3 Disc compatibility with this recorder islimited as follows:1. CD-R/RW physical format should be “ISO 9660” and“JOLIET”.2. If you record MP3 files using software which cannotcreate a FILE SYSTEM (e.g., “Direct-CD” etc.), thenyou cannot playback MP3 files. We recommend thatyou use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates anISO9660 or JOLIET file system.3. The total number of files and folders on the disc arefree but the total number of files and folders on thefolder should be less than 1999.This VCR/DVD Recorder requires discs/recordings tomeet certain technical standards in order to achieveoptimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are auto-matically set to these standards. There are many differ-ent types of recordable disc formats (including CD-Rcontaining MP3 files) that require certain pre-existingconditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.Customers should also note that permission isrequired in order to download MP3 files and musicfrom the Internet. SANYO has no right to grant suchpermission.
