RE: MP3 on Lecson?

Still no success, but I`ve tried some more things:

Burnt a new CD-RW in one session and closed it.
Reset the DVD player to the factory defaults.
It still plays audio CDs ok, but no MP3s.
The mp3 files on the disk do play ok on the pc.
The audio on the lecson seems ok: Audio CDs, CD-rs and CD-RWs play ok. The TV display when I press the volume button on the remote says "32".

I noticed these points also (for disks with MP3s on them, audio CDs are ok and perform as expected):
I can play the next track by pressing the >>¦ button on the player and on the remote, but I get the "hand" display if I keep it pressed to "fast forward".
I can select the track to play with the 0-9 buttons on the remote.
The track number display (on the TV and the player) always shows 09, irrespective of how many track or mp3 files I have put on the disk.
I can`t adjust the volume from the lecson: The TV display shows a bar type display and says "32", but I can`t find any way of changing it!

The only remaining thing I can think of is that either I have a duff DVD player, or there is something wrong with my mp3 files.

Thanks for your help and feedback so far!

RE: MP3 on Lecson?

Yes, it does say "MP3" on the TV screen, but there is no sound output from the TV. I cross-checked, and the sound does come out of the TV with an Audio CD-RW (I never checked that before as I always use my hifi for sound).

As you suggest, the sound paths all work OK, as it is ok for dvds and audio cds, And the player thinks it is succesfully playing MP3s.

Still confused? I know I am!

RE: MP3 on Lecson?

I`m playing out through the Left and Right RCA sockets on the back, connected to my main audio amp. Also the coax and optical outputs are connected to my minidisc deck. With all of the same sttings on the Lecson, if I just put in an audio CD-RW, I get satisfactory outputs, so it seems to be more to do with the fact it is an MP3 rather than the type of CD, or the output used from the Lecson. I tried the experiment with the original MP3s (28kB/s) and also used the MP3 output plug-in in WinAmp to generate MP3 files at different bit rates up to 56kB/s.
So I`m puzzled!

MP3 on Lecson?

Several people have said on these forums that the Lecson DVD-900 does play MP3s. I`ve tried playing MP3s recorded on CD-R disks in my Lecson without much success: It goes through the motions with CD-ROM formatted disks with MP3s on them: The on-screen display recognises the CD as an MP3, and the disk plays (i.e. a track number appears and the time counter increments). BUT: no sound comes out. My Lecson sucessfully plays CD-R and CD-RW audio CDs. Can it be I`m using the wrong bitrate or something like that?
Any feedback will be welcome!
Thanks,
James
