About MP3 Audio Tracks and JPEG Image Files

What is MP3/JPEG?

MP3 is audio compression technology that satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is image compression technology.

Discs that the system can play

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-

Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-Rs/DVD-

RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs/DVD-ROMs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) or

JPEG format. However, the DATA CDs must be recorded according to ISO 9660 Level 1, Level

2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal

Disk Format (UDF) for the system to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session.

See the operating instructions supplied with the

CD-R/CD-RW or DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

About the Multi-Session disc

If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are recorded in the first session, the system will also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in other sessions. If audio tracks and images in audio CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

Note

• The system may not be able to play some DATA

CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format.

MP3 audio track or JPEG image file that the system can play

You can play the MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files:

• which have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio track) or “.JPG”/“.JPEG” (JPEG image file)

• which conform to the DCF* image file format

* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image standards for digital cameras regulated by Japan

Electronics and Information Technology Industries

Association (JEITA).

Note

• The system will play any data with the extension “.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG” even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

• The system does not conform to audio in

MP3PRO format.

continued

55 Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files

The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or

JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD or

DATA DVD is as follows: x Structure of disc contents

Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5

Tip

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track (or file) names when you store the tracks (or files) in a disc, the tracks (or files) will be played in that order.

• A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback.

Note

• Playback order may differ from the illustration depending on the software you use to create the

DATA CD or DATA DVD, or if there are more than

200 albums and 300 files in each album.

• The system can recognize up to 200 albums, and will not play any albums beyond the 200th.

• The system may take longer time to playback, when progressing to the following album or jump to other album.

• Some type of JPEG files cannot be played.

56

Album

Track (MP3 audio) or

File (JPEG image)

When you insert a DATA CD or DATA DVD and press H, the numbered tracks (or files) are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks (or files) contained within a currently selected album take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: C contains D so 4 is played before 5.)

When you press DVD MENU and the list of

album names appears (page 57), the album

names are arranged in the following order:

A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

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 DATA CDs and DATA DVDs that contain DivX

video files.

DATA CDs and DATA DVDs that the system can play

Playback of DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/

CD-RWs) and DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/

DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs) on this system is subject to certain conditions:

– With DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that contain

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 DATA CDs whose logical format is ISO 9660 Level 1/Level

2 or Joliet, and DATA DVDs 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

DATA CDs or DATA DVDs

See “Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or

JPEG image files” (page 56). 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 albums and 600 DivX video files in each album.

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.

Tip

• For details about playable MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files on DATA CDs or DATA DVDs, see

“Discs that the system can play” (page 55).

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 which 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.

• Because of the compression technology used for

DivX video files, it may take some time after you press H for the picture to appear.
