Main feet
In addition, the two studs on the bottom help stabi­lize the main unit and prevent it from wobbling or tipping when nudged from above. Because the studs are slightly shorter than the main feet, the studs do not come in contact with the mounted sur­face, leaving the main feet to support the main unit.

• CDs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are play­able (except CDs recorded in the “packet write” format (UDF format)).
• Files with an extension of “.mp3”, “.wma”, “.wav”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.asf”, “.divx”, “.div”, “.avi”, “.mpg”, “.mpeg” or “.mod” (extensions with mixed cases are also acceptable) are playable.
• 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 such as the automatic rotation function of a digital camera is applied, the data may no longer conform to the DCF standard, and the image may not be displayed).
• If data has been processed, edited or restored with computer image editing software, the data may not be displayed.
• This system cannot play back animations such as MOTION JPEG files, still pictures (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG files, 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, it may take a long time to display the file. 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.
• A WAV file with a sampling frequency of
44.1 kHz and a quantization bit rate of 16 bits is recommended.

Notes on MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/ ASF discs/files
• A disc may not be played back, or reading it may take a long time depending on its recording con­ditions or properties.
• The time needed for reading varies with the number of groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.
• If characters other than single-byte alphanu­meric characters are used in the file name of an MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/ASF file, the track/file name is not displayed correctly.
• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3/WMA/WAV 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.
• Playing back an MP3/WMA file that contains a still image may take a long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until playback starts. This 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 an MP3i or MP3PRO file.

Data hierarchy

Handling discs

DVD VIDEO/DVD VR
A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title may be divided into “chapters”. A DVD VR consists of “original programs” or “play lists” and each original program/play list may be divided into “chapters”.
Title 1/Original program 1/
Play list 1
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2
DVD AUDIO
A DVD AUDIO consists of “groups” and each group may be divided into “tracks”. Some discs include a “bonus group” that requires a password for playback. (Refer to page 38.)
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 1 Track 2
VCD/SVCD/CD
A VCD/SVCD/CD consists of “tracks”. In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be further divided by indexes.)
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5
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”.
.
Up to 99 groups

• Do not use a commercially-available non-stan­dard shape disc (like a heart, flower or credit card, etc.), because it may damage the system.
• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it may damage the system.
• Do not bend the disc.

Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth.
• Be sure not to use thinners, benzenes, cleaners for analog records, or other chemical agents.
Scratches concen­trated on a certain part cause sound dropout.

/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 num­ber of files.
