About MP3/WMA/JPEG discs

Playable MP3/WMA/JPEG discs and files

•Discs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable (except discs recorded in the "packet write" format (UDF format)).

•Discs recorded in the multi-session format are also playable.

•Files with an extension of ".mp3", ".wma", ".jpg" or ".jpeg" (extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters mixed are also acceptable) are playable.

Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG discs and 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 a character other than single byte English characters is used in the file name of an MP3/ WMA/JPEG file, the track/file name will not be displayed correctly.

•The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3/WMA Control screen, and the order of files/ groups displayed on the JPEG Control screen may be different from that of files/folders displayed on PC's monitor screen.

•In the case of MP3/WMA discs, since groups/ tracks are played back in alphabetical order, an off-the-shelf 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 product is not compatible with MP3i or MP3PRO.

•This product can play back a baseline JPEG file, excluding monochromatic JPEG files.

•This product 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 PC image editing software, the data may not be displayed.

•This product cannot play back animations such as MOTION JPEG, or still pictures (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, and 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.

•Files recorded on DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played back.

MP3/WMA [JPEG] discs

On an MP3/WMA [JPEG] disc, each still picture (material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks [Files] are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages folders by "groups".

Up to 99 groups

		Group 1			Group 2

	Track 1	Track 2	Group 3	Group 4	Group 5
	[File 1]	[File 2]

Up to 150 files

This product can recognize up to 1 000 tracks [files] in a disc. Also, the product can recognize up to 150 tracks [files] per group and up to 99 groups in a disc. Since the unit ignores the tracks [files] whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played back.

•If there is any type of files other than MP3/WMA [JPEG] files in a disc, those tracks [files] are also counted in the total file number.

5

Selecting the Color System

This product is compatible with PAL and NTSC color systems.

In standby mode, select PAL or NTSC to match your TV.

If the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch is switched over when the power is on, turn off the power, and then turn it on again.

•Before playing back a disc, it is also required to select the correct MONITOR TYPE in the PICTURE menu according to the aspect ratio of your TV ( page 38).

NOTE

•If you play back an NTSC disc with this setting set to "PAL", you can watch the playback pictures (the disc will be reproduced using "PAL 60" format), but the TV screen may rolls over upward and downward rapidly.

NOTE

•If you play back a PAL disc with this setting set to "NTSC", you can watch the playback pictures, but the following symptoms may occur:

•The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown slightly shifted when highlighted.

•The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the original aspect ratio.

•The picture movement is not smooth.
