• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3/WMA menu screen, and the order of files/ groups displayed on the JPEG menu screen may be different from that of files/folders dis­played on a computer monitor screen.
• In the case of MP3/WMA discs, since groups/ tracks are played back in alphabetical order, a commercially available MP3/WMA disc may be
played back in an order different from that indi­cated on the label attached to the disc.
• Playing back an MP3/WMA file including a still image may take a long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until playing back starts. If playing back starts, the elapsed time may not be dis­played correctly.
• For an MP3/WMA file, a disc with a sampling fre­quency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is recommended.
• This system is not compatible with MP3i or MP3PRO.
• This system can play back a baseline JPEG file, excluding monochromatic JPEG files.
• This system can play back JPEG data taken with a digital camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System) standard (when a function is applied such as the automatic rotation function of a digital camera, data goes beyond the DCF standard, so the image may not be dis­played).
• If data has been processed, edited and restored with computer image editing software, the data may not be displayed.
• This system cannot play back animations such as MOTION JPEG, still pictures (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, or image data with sound.
• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recom­mended for JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480 pixels, display may take a long time. An image with a resolution of more than 8 192 x 7 680 pix­els cannot be displayed.
• The system supports ASF files recorded with the maximum bit rate of 384 kbps and an audio coder decoder of G.726.
• For a WAV file, a disc with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a transmission rate of 16 bits is recommended.

MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/ASF/DivX/MPEG1/ MPEG2 files
Audio, still pictures and video are recorded as tracks/files on a disc or a USB mass storage class device. Tracks/files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, cre­ating hierarchical folder layers. This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of files and manages folders by “groups”.
.
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1
/File 1
This system can recognize up to 4 000 tracks/files on a disc. Also, the system can recognize up to 150 tracks/files per group and up to 99 groups on a disc. Since the system ignores the tracks/files with numbers exceeding 150 and the groups with num­bers exceeding 99, these cannot be played back. If there are any type of files other than MP3/WMA/ WAV/JPEG/ASF/DivX/MPEG1/MPEG2 files on a disc, those files are also counted in the total file number.
