Notes on Operation

About MP3/WMA/JPEG discs

Playable MP3/WMA/JPEG discs and files

• CDs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable (except CDs recorded in the "packet write" format (UDF format)).

• CDs recorded in the multi-session format are also playable.

• Files with an extension of ".mp3", ".wma", ".jpg" or ".jpeg" (extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters mixed are also acceptable) are playable.

• This product cannot play back DVDs recorded in multi-session or multi-border format.

Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG discs and files

• A disc may not be played back, or reading it may take a long time depending on its recording conditions or properties.

• The time needed for reading varies with the number of groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.

• If a character other than single byte English characters is used in the file name of an MP3/

WMA/JPEG file, the track/file name will not be displayed correctly.

• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the

MP3/WMA Control screen, and the order of files/ groups displayed on the JPEG Control screen may be different from that of files/folders displayed on a computer monitor screen.

• In the case of MP3/WMA discs, since groups/ tracks are played back in alphabetical order, a commercially available MP3/WMA disc may be played back in an order different from that indicated on the label attached to the disc.

• Playing back an MP3 file including a still image may take a long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until playing back starts. If playing back starts, the elapsed time may not be displayed correctly.

• For an MP3 file, a disc with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is recommended.

• This product is not compatible with MP3i or

MP3PRO.

• This product can play back a baseline JPEG file, excluding monochromatic JPEG files.

• This product can play back JPEG data taken with a digital camera conforming to the DCF (Design

Rule for Camera File System) standard (when a function such as the automatic image rotation function of a digital camera is applied, the data no longer complies with the DCF standard, so the image may not be displayed).

• If data has been processed, edited and restored with PC image editing software, the data may not be displayed.

• This product cannot play back animations such as MOTION JPEG, still pictures (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, or image data with sound.

• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recommended for JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480 pixels, display may take a long time. An image with a resolution of more than 8 192 x 7 680 pixels cannot be displayed.

Introduction

Disc Structure

DVD VIDEO

A DVD VIDEO consists of "titles" and each title may be divided into "chapters".

Title 1 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

DVD AUDIO

A DVD AUDIO consists of "groups" and each group may be divided into "tracks".

Some discs include a "bonus group" that requires a password for playing ( page 31).

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 1 Track 2

VCD/SVCD/CD

VCD, SVCD and CD consist of "tracks".

In general, each track has its own track number.

(On some discs, each track may also be further divided by indexes.)


MP3/WMA [JPEG] discs

On an MP3/WMA [JPEG] disc, each still picture

(material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks

[Files] are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages folders by "groups".

Up to 99 groups

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1

[File 1]

Track 2

[File 2]

Group 3 Group 4 Group 5

Up to 150 files

This product can recognize up to 4 000 tracks

[files] in a disc. Also, the product can recognize up to 150 tracks [files] per group and up to 99 groups in a disc. Since the unit ignores tracks [files] with numbers exceeding 150 and groups with numbers exceeding 99, these cannot be played back.

• If there is any type of files other than MP3/WMA

[JPEG] files in a disc, those tracks [files] are also counted in the total file number.

About MP3/WMA/JPEG discs

Playable MP3/WMA/JPEG discs and files

• CDs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable (except CDs recorded in the "packet write" format (UDF format)).

• Files with an extension of ".mp3", ".wma", ".jpg" or ".jpeg" (extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters mixed are also acceptable) are playable.

• This product cannot play back DVDs recorded in multi-session or multi-border format.

Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG discs and files

• A disc may not be played back, or reading it may take a long time depending on its recording conditions or properties.

• If a character other than single byte English characters is used in the file name of an MP3/

WMA/JPEG file, the track/file name will not be displayed correctly.

• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the

MP3/WMA Control screen, and the order of files/ groups displayed on the JPEG Control screen may be different from that of files/folders displayed on a computer monitor screen.

• In the case of MP3/WMA discs, since groups/ tracks are played back in alphabetical order, a commercially available MP3/WMA disc may be played back in an order different from that indicated on the label attached to the disc.

• Playing back an MP3 file including a still image may take a long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until playing back starts. If playing back starts, the elapsed time may not be displayed correctly.

• For an MP3 file, a disc with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is recommended.

• This product is not compatible with MP3i or

MP3PRO.

• This product can play back a baseline JPEG file, excluding monochromatic JPEG files.

• This product can play back JPEG data taken with a digital camera conforming to the DCF (Design

Rule for Camera File System) standard (when a function such as the automatic image rotation function of a digital camera is applied, the data no longer complies with the DCF standard, so the image may not be displayed).

• If data has been processed, edited and restored with PC image editing software, the data may not be displayed.

• This product cannot play back animations such as MOTION JPEG, still pictures (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, or image data with sound.

• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recommended for JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480 pixels, display may take a long time. An image with a resolution of more than 8 192 x 7 680 pixels cannot be displayed.

Introduction

Disc Structure

DVD VIDEO

A DVD VIDEO consists of "titles" and each title may be divided into "chapters".

Title 1 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

DVD AUDIO

A DVD AUDIO consists of "groups" and each group may be divided into "tracks".

Some discs include a "bonus group" that requires a password for playing ( page 31).

Group 1 Group 2


VCD/SVCD/CD

VCD, SVCD and CD consist of "tracks".

In general, each track has its own track number.

(On some discs, each track may also be further divided by indexes.)


MP3/WMA [JPEG] discs

On an MP3/WMA [JPEG] disc, each still picture

(material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks

[Files] are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages folders by "groups".

Up to 99 groups

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1

[File 1]

Track 2

[File 2]

Group 3 Group 4 Group 5

Up to 150 files

This product can recognize up to 4 000 tracks

[files] in a disc. Also, the product can recognize up to 150 tracks [files] per group and up to 99 groups in a disc. Since the unit ignores tracks [files] with numbers exceeding 150 and groups with numbers exceeding 99, these cannot be played back.

• If there is any type of files other than MP3/WMA

[JPEG] files in a disc, those tracks [files] are also counted in the total file number.
