About DivX video files

DivX

is a video file compression technology, developed by DivX, Inc. This product is an official DivX® Certified product. You can play a DATA CD or DATA DVD that contains DivX® video files.

A DATA CD or DATA DVD that the system can play

Playback of a DATA CD (CD-ROM/CD-R/CDRW) or DATA DVD (DVD-ROM/DVD-R/ DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW) on this system is subject to certain conditions:

– With a DATA CD/DATA DVD that contains

DivX video files in addition to MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files, the system plays

only the DivX video files. However, this system only plays a DATA CD of format ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet, and a DATA DVD of Universal Disk Format (UDF). Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the disc drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

About playback order of data on a DATA CD or DATA DVD

Note that the playback order may not be applicable, depending on the software used for creating the DivX video file, or if there are more than 200 folders and 150 DivX video files in each folder.

Note

• The system may not be able to play some DATA

CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format.

DivX video files that the system can play

The system can play data that is recorded in DivX format, and which has the extension “.AVI,” or “.DIVX.” The system will not play

files with the extension “.AVI” or “.DIVX” if they do not contain a DivX video.

• For details about playable MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files on a DATA CD or DATA DVD, see “Playable Discs” (page 5).

Note

• The system may not play a DivX video file when the file has been combined from two or more DivX video files.

• The system cannot play a DivX video file of size more than 720 (width) × 576 (height) or 2GB.

• Depending on the DivX video file, sound may skip or not match the pictures on the TV screen.

• The system cannot play some DivX video files that are longer than 3 hours.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture may pause or be unclear. In whi ch case, it is recommended that you create the file at a lower bit rate. If the sound is still noisy, MP3 is the recommended audio format. Note, however, this system does not conform to WMA (Windows Media Audio) format for playing DivX files.

• Because of the compression technology used for DivX video files, it may take some time after you press H for the picture to appear.
