List of playable discs

Format of discs Disc logo

Audio CDs

CD-R/CD-RW (audio data/MP3 files)

* ISO 9660 Format

The most common international standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM. There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than 8 characters in the name, no more than 3 characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital letters. Folder names can be no longer than 8 characters. There can be no more than 8 nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names and folder names up to 31 characters long. Each folder can have up to 8 trees. For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format make sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.

**Multi Session

This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional CDs begin a t a CD control a rea called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessio ns, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session. CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks in session 2. Mixed CD: This format records data on the first track and audio (audio CD data) on the second and subsequent tracks of a session.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs cannot be played on this system depending upon the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device. Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording device.

• Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be played back because of scratches, dirt, recording condition or the driver’s characteristics.

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

• The system may be unable to play MP3 format files that do not have the extension “.MP3”.

• Attempting to play non-MP3 format files that have the extension “.MP3” may result in noise or malfunction.

• With formats other than ISO 9660 Level 1 and 2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.

• The following discs take a longer time to start playback.

– a disc recorded with complicated tree

structure. – a disc recorded in Multi Session. – a disc to which data can be added (non-

finalized disc).

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.

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session

• If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and MP3 sessions are played back without sound.

• If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is recognized as an MP3 disc, and CD-DA sessions are played back without sound.

• The playback range of an MP3 disc is determined by the tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc.

• A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.
