Bit rate
This is the “sound” compression rate specified for encoding. The
higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger
the files.
Sampling rate
This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled
(recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz,
so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The
higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the
larger the volume of data.
Encoding
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into
the specified audio compression format.
Tag
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names,
etc., written into MP3 files.
MP3: ID3 tag
Root folder
The root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file
system. The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created
automatically for all burned discs.

When the subwoofer mode is set to OFF, its level cannot be adjusted.

Loudness introduces a special low- and high-frequency emphasis at
low listening levels. This compensates for the ear’s decreased
sensitivity to bass and treble sound. The function is inoperable when
DEFEAT is set to ON.

Press or until the desired sound is obtained in
each mode.
By setting Defeat ON, previously adjusted settings of BASS
and TREBLE will return to the factory defaults.
