BayCom OSCAR-MP3

Introduction
Conventional Audio CDs may store and play up to 72 Minutes of Music. By compressing
music with the MPEG-1, layer 3 (in short: MP3) audio coding standard, a storage volume of
up to 12 hours per CD is feasible. OSCAR has been designed as a standalone player for
MP3 compressed audio data. These data can either be stored on a CD-ROM, which can be
played via the built-in CD-Rom drive or on a hard-disk, which can be optionally mounted into
the player’s case. OSCAR is a pure player, it does not contain upload- or recording functions.
The main features are:
• Plays all MPEG-Audio bit rates and sampling (8-48 kHz, 8-320 kbit/s), incl. variable bit
rates, and normal, uncompressed audio CDs.
• Line-out and head phone output.
• Remote control (Infrared)
• RS-232 Interface for activity monitoring and software update
• Built in high quality CD-ROM drive (Toshiba)
• Space for optional 3.5“ hard disk drive
• Supports ISO9660/Joliet und FAT16/32 Filesystem on CD-ROM and hard-disk
• 32 bit RISC-Processor for control and Micronas MAS3570D MPEG-Decoder
• Fast forward and fast reverse, variable playing speeds
• Fast access to titels via rotary encoder, title list stored in internal RAM
• Silent 240V power supply, no fan
• Universal usage for home and hobby, background music.
• Shufflemode possible via directories or whole CD-ROM / Hard disk
• Simple preselection of a number of titles (radio mode)
This manual describes set up and operation of the OSCAR player.
Important note:
Unregulated, illegal distribution of MP3-coded, copyright protected music art, especially via
the internet, has become a serious trouble for the music industry. We strongly advice you to
respect the copyright of the artists when using OSCAR to prevent future countermeasures
like copy protection on these data.
