Create your own ATRAC CDs

In addition to the usual audio CDs, you can play an original CD, called “ATRAC CD,” that

you create with the supplied software, SonicStage. Using SonicStage, about 30 audio CDs*

can be recorded on one CD-R or CD-RW.

The following is a quick overview of how you listen to music on your ATRAC CD.

Install SonicStage on your computer.

SonicStage is software that takes music downloaded

from audio CDs and the Internet on your computer and

creates original CDs. It can be installed from the

supplied CD-ROM.

Create an ATRAC CD.

After selecting your favorite songs from music stored

on your computer, record them on a CD-R/CD-RW

using SonicStage.

Listen to them with this CD player.

You can enjoy lots of songs on your original CD.

Please see the supplied “Installation/Operating Guide” for how to install SonicStage and how

to create ATRAC CDs.

The structure of ATRAC CDs/MP3 CDs

ATRAC CDs/MP3 CDs consist of “files” and “groups.” A

“file” is equivalent to a “track” of an audio CD. A “group”

is a bundle of files and is equivalent to an “album.”

For MP3 CDs, this CD player recognizes an MP3 folder as

a “group” so that ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs can be

operated in the same way.

Playing order of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs

For ATRAC CDs, files are played in the order selected in

SonicStage.

For MP3 CDs, the playing order may differ depending on

the method used to record MP3 files on the disc. In the

following example, files are played in order of 1to 7.

•Agroup that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.

•Be sure to add the file extension “mp3” to the file name.

an MP3 file, the player will not be able to recognize the file

properly.

• This player can play bit rates of 16 to 320 kbps, and sampling

frequencies of 32/44.1/ 48 kHz. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) file

can also be played.

• To compress a source in an MP3 file, we recommend setting the

compression parameters to “44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and

“Constant Bit Rate.”

• To record up to the maximum capacity, set the writing software

to “halting of writing.”

•To record to the maximum capacity at one time up on media that

has nothing recorded on it, set the writing software to “Disc at

Once.”
