Compressed Audio (data CD/DVD)

Let's now see how the player reacts to various compressed audio files stored on data CDR/RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW. The specifications for the LVW-5045 indicate MP3/WMA/WAV support.

The table below shows a list of MP3 and WMA files with a variety of compression settings along with the behavior from the device.

One feature that we think is quite handy and adds value to the LVW-5045, is the ability to playback compressed audio files from a DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW. Not only that, but the LVW-5045 offers the option to copy the digital music stored on the inserted media to the hard disk. With this feature, one can maintain a personal collection of music stored in the LVW-5045 that can be instantly accessed from the 160GB hard drive, without the need to insert any discs.

Also, the LVW-5045 is capable of recognizing mixed discs, i.e. discs that contain both compressed audio and/or image files.
