Caution  
Notes for AAC playback is only for the model CQ-RX400U.  
Never assign the “.mp3”, “.wma” or “.m4a” file  
name extension to a file that is not in the MP3/  
WMA/AAC format.This may not only produce  
noise from the speaker damage, but also damage  
your hearing.  
What is MP3/WMA/AAC?  
MP3* (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows MediaTM  
Audio) are the compression formats of digital audio. The former  
is developed by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group), and  
the latter is developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using these  
compression formats, you can record the contents of about  
10 music CDs on a single CD media (This figures refer to data  
recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of  
128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).  
iTunes is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S.  
and other countries/regions.  
Windows Media, and the  
Windows logo are trademarks, or  
registered trademarks of Microsoft  
Corporation in the United States  
and/or other countries/regions.  
*MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from  
Fraunhofer.  
AAC is an abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding”.  
It has been defined as a standard for audio compression  
technology using MPEG 2 and MPEG 4.  
Note: MP3/WMA/AAC encoding and writing software is not  
supplied with this unit.  
Points to Remember When Making MP3/  
WMA/AAC Files  
Common  
• High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recommended  
for high quality sounds.  
• Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended  
because playing time is not displayed properly and sound  
may be skipped.  
• The playback sound quality differs depending on the  
encoding circumstances. For details, refer to the instructions  
of your own encoding software and writing software.  
MP3  
• It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more”  
and “fixed”.  
WMA  
• It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps or more”  
and “fixed”.  
• Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA file to  
enable this unit to play back.  
AAC  
• It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more”  
and “fixed”.  
• The formats and extensions for AAC data vary according to  
the encoder software used.  
• AAC files which can be played on this unit have the “.m4a”  
extension and were encoded with Apple iTunes® version 7.

Recording MP3/WMA/AAC Files on a CD-  
Media/USB-Device  
You are recommended to minimize the chances of making  
a disc that contains both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA/AAC  
files.  
If CD-DA files are on the same disc as MP3, WMA or AAC  
files or the songs may not play in the intended order, or  
some songs may not play at all.

• Do not record files other than MP3/WMA/AAC files and  
unnecessary folder on a disc.  
• The name of an MP3/WMA/AAC file should be added by  
rules as shown in the following descriptions and also comply  
with the rules of each file system.  
Displayable characters  
• Displayable length of file name/folder name: within  
32 characters. (Unicoded file and folder names are reduced  
by half in the number of displayable characters.)  
• Name files and folders in accordance with the standard of  
each file system. Refer to the instructions of writing software  
for details.  
• The file extension “.mp3”, “.wma” or “.m4a” should be  
assigned to each file depending on the file format.  
You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA/AAC files or  
displaying the information of MP3/WMA/AAC files recorded  
with certain writing software or CD recorders.  
• ASCII character set and special characters in each language  
can be displayed.  
• Some Cyrillic characters in the Unicode can be displayed.  
• This unit does not have a play list function.
