• CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than those record ed in the following formats: – music CD format – video CD format – MP3/JPEG format that conforms to

ISO9660 Session

• Progressive JPEG format files cannot be played on this system.

• Data part of CD-Extras

Level 1/Level 2, Joliet or Multi

continued

• DVD-RWs in VR mode (DVD-RWs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programed or edited.)

• DVD-ROMs

• DVD Audio discs

• A DVD with a different region code.

• Audio tracks in MP3PRO format.

• A disc that has a non-standard shap e (e.g., card, heart).

• A disc with paper or stickers on it.

• A disc that has the adhesive, cellophane tape, or a sticker still left on it.

ISO9660 Format The most common in te rnational 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 (n o more than eight characters in the na me, no more t han three char acters in the extension “.MP3” o r “.JP G”) and in capital letters. Folder names can be no long er tha n e ight characters. There can be no more than eight nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names and folder names up to 31 character s long. Each folder can have up to 8 trees. For Joliet in the expansion format (file and folder names can have up to 64 characters) 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 at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Mult i Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, 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.

Notes on discs

• This system can play CD-R/CD-RW discs edited by the user. However, note that playback of some di s cs may not be possible depending on the recording devi ce used for recording or th e di sc condition.

• CD-R and CD-RW discs th at have not been correctly final i zed (processing t o allow play by a normal CD player ) cannot be played.

• 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/JPEG format files that do not have the extender “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG”.

• Attempting to pl ay non-MP3/JPE G format files that have the extender “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG” may result in noise or malfunction. Playback is possible up to 8 levels.

• With formats other than ISO9660 level 1 and 2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.

• The following discs take a lon ger time to start playback.

– a disc recorded with complicat ed tree

structure. – a disc recorded in Multi Session. – a disc to which data can be added (no n-

finalized disc).

• Some CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs or DVDRWs (in video mode) (DVD-RWs created in video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO) 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 no t been correctly fi nalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording de vi ce.

• A disc rec orded i n packet writ e format cannot be played.
