Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in Packet Write format cannot be played.

Notes about Multi Session CD

• This system can play a Multi Session CD when an MP3 file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 files recorded in later sessions can also be played.

Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region code indication may be given even though playing the DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.
ALL

Notes about playback operations of a DVD or VIDEO CD

Some playback operations on a DVD or VIDEO CD may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this system will play a DVD or VIDEO CD according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Be sure to read the operating instructions of the DVD or VIDEO CD.

Notes about playable files

• The system can recognize up to 200 folders, including albums (folders) that do not contain audio files, JPEG image files, or video files. When more than 200 folders are on the DATA CD/DATA DVD/ USB device or more than 150 files are in a folder, folders/files that are recognized by the system differ depending on the folder configuration.
• The system can play the following files.
File Extension of the file
MP3 file “.mp3”
WMA file* “.wma”
AAC file* “.m4a”
JPEG image file “.jpg” or “.jpeg”
Xvid video file “.avi”
MPEG4 video file “.mp4” or “.m4v”
GB

The system will attempt to play any data with the extensions above, even if it is not in MP3/WMA/ AAC/JPEG/Xvid/MPEG4 format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.
• The following can increase the time it takes to start playback:
– when a DATA CD/DATA DVD/USB device is recorded with a complicated tree structure.
– when the audio files, JPEG image files, or video files in another folder have just been played.
• Some files on DATA CDs/DATA DVDs/USB devices cannot be played by the system depending on the file format.
• The system can play to a depth of 8 folders only.
• The system may not be able to play an audio file, JPEG image file, or video file depending on the file type.
• Files recorded by a device such as a computer may not be played in the order in which they were recorded.
• Folders that have no audio files, JPEG image files, or video files are skipped.
• Compatibility with all MP3/WMA/AAC encoding/writing software, recording devices, and recording media cannot be guaranteed.
• Compatibility with all MPEG4 video encoding/writing software, recording devices, and recording media cannot be guaranteed.
• The playback order may not be applicable depending on the software used for creating the audio file, JPEG image file, or video file, or if there are more than 200 folders or 150 files in each folder.
* USB device only.
