Note on playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this system plays DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also, refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• If audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multisession that have not ended by “closing the session” are not supported.

About MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files

What is MP3/JPEG?

MP3 is audio compression technology that satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is image compression technology.

* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image

standards for digital cameras regulated by Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

Notes

• The system will play any data with the extension “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG” even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

• The system does not conform to audio in MP3PRO format.

DVD/VIDEO CD/CD/Super Audio CD/MP3/JPEG – Play

Discs that the system can play

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CDRs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and JPEG format. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format for the system to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session. See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/ CD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

About the multi-session disc

If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are recorded in the first session, the system will also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in other sessions. If audio tracks and images in audio CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

Note

The system may not be able to play some DATA CDs created in the Packet Write format. In this case, you cannot view the JPEG images recorded.

Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files

The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD is as follows:

x Structure of disc contents

Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5

ROOT

MP3 audio track or JPEG image file that the system can play

The system can play the MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files:

• which have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio track) or “.JPG”/“.JPEG” (JPEG image file)

• which conform to the DCF* image file format

Album

Track (MP3 audio) or File (JPEG image)

continued

When you insert a DATA CD and press H, the numbered tracks (or files) are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any subalbums/tracks (or files) contained within a currently selected album take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: C contains D so 4 is played before 5.)

Playing DATA CDs with MP3 audio track and JPEG image files

When you press MENU and the list of album names appears (page 23), the album names are arranged in the following order: A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

Notes

• Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD, the playback order may differ from the illustration.

• The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than 200 albums and 300 files in each album.

• The system can recognize up to 200 albums (the system will count just albums, including albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files). The system will not play any albums beyond the 200th album.

• The system may take longer time to playback, when progressing to the following album or jump to other album.

• Some type of JPEG files cannot be played.

Tips

• If you add nu mbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track/file names when y ou store the tracks (or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be played in that order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start playback, it is recommended that you create albums with no more than two trees.

MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files recorded on DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/ CD-RWs) can be played on this system.

Notes

• When “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set to “AUTO”, the system can recognize up to 300 MP3 tracks and 300 JPEG files in a single album. When “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set to “AUDIO (MP3)” or “IMAGE (JPEG)”, the system can recognize up to 600 MP3 and 600 JPEG files in a single album. A maximum of 200 albums can be recognized regardless of the selected mode.

• Playback is possible up to 8 levels.

• An album that does not include an MP3 audio track or JPEG image file is skipped.

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to data not in MP3 format, the system cannot recognize the data properly and will generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

Tips

• You can view the disc information while playing

MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files (page 50).

• You can select Repeat Play while playing MP3 audio

tracks and JPEG image files (page 18) and “AUDIO” while playing an MP3 audio track (page 30).
