Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R/CD-RW)
≥ Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).
≥ This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more
time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
≥ If groups were created away from the root like “002 group” in the illustration below, the
eighth one onwards is displayed on the same vertical line in the menu screen.
≥
There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen and computer screen.
≥This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
Naming folders and files
(Files are treated as content and folders are treated as
groups on this unit.)
At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names. This
should be with numbers that have an equal number of digits,
and should be done in the order you want to play them (this
may not work at times).
Files must have the extension:
“.WMA” or “.wma”
“.MP3” or “.mp3”
“.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”
[WMA]
≥ You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
≥ This unit is not compatible with Multiple Bit Rate (MBR: a
file that contains the same content encoded at several different bit rates).
[MP3]
≥ This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
≥ Compatible sampling rate: 8, 11.02, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz
[JPEG]

JPEG files taken on a digital camera that conforms to the DCF Standard Version 1.0 are displayed.
– Pictures taken using digital camera functions not supported by DCF like automatic
picture rotation may not be displayed.
– Files that have been altered, edited or saved with computer picture editing software
may not be displayed.
