MP3 or WMA Disc Playback, MP3/WMA Playback

MP3/WMA PLAYBACK

The CVR700 is among those DVD players that are able to play back discs recorded with MP3 or WMA files. This means that you may enjoy the latest music using discs created in your computer through the high-quality audio components in your home theater system. As the way that MP3 and WMA files are recorded on discs differs from the way conventional CD audio discs are structured, MP3/WMA playback is slightly different from that of standard CDs.

Important Note on MP3 Playback:

MP3 and WMA discs may contain 200 tracks or even more. To get the best overview about all tracks on the disc and their names and to select or program them comfortably, use the on-screen dis- play rather than the front-panel display. The front-panel display will only show the number and the elapsed time of the track being played.

Important Note on WMA Playback:

The supported bit-rate is between 32k bits and 192k bits.

MP3 or WMA Disc Playback

After the disc is loaded and the tray closed, the CVR700 will read the disc’s table of contents (TOC). A listing of all the directories on the disc will be dis- played if the disc was made with several directories (see Figure 48).

until the desired directory name is high- lighted, then press the Set Button

The folder will expand, listing all of the tracks within the directory, each preceded by a logo to identify it as an MP3 file or WMA file. (See Figures 49 and 50.)

To select a track, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Controls q 4 until the desired track name is highlighted. If the list of tracks is longer than will fit on the screen, press the Page Down/Up Buttons Jh 30 to jump through a list of the track numbers forward or back- ward through the list.

To start play of the track selected on the list, press the Set Button I 7 or Play Button !e 25 .

During MP3/WMA playback, some of the standard CD/DVD playback controls oper- ate in their normal fashion:

•You may skip forward to the next track on the disc by pressing the Skip Forward Button 7h 30 .

•You may skip back to the current or previous track on the disc by pressing the Skip Reverse Button 7J 30 once or twice.

•Press the Pause Button @M 23 to momentarily stop playback. Press the Play Button !e 25 to resume play. Press the Stop Button

#M 24 twice to enter stop mode.

•You may search through tracks forward

or in reverse by pressing the appropri-

ate Search Buttons Lf 27 29 .

•You may play an MP3 or WMA disc in random mode like a normal CD (see page 68).

•The Repeat function may be accessed during playback of an MP3 or WMA disc.

NOTES ON MP3 AND WMA

PLAYBACK

•During playback, the front-panel display and the time indicator on the screen above the list will show the elapsed time of the track being played. Other time display options are not available with MP3/WMA playback.

•The CVR700 is only compatible with standard MP3- and WMA-encoded discs. Other compressed audio formats used for Internet audio downloads will not play on the CVR700.

•Due to the differences in various ver- sions of the MP3 and WMA formats, and the many differences between the CD-R machines used to record discs on a computer, it is possible that some discs may not play on the CVR700 even though they will work on a computer. This is normal and does not indicate

a fault with the unit.

•When a multisession disc with both standard CD audio and MP3 or WMA content is in use, the CVR700 will play only the CD audio sections of the disc. Track numbers will be visible in the dis- play, but the files will not be decoded.

•When a disc with multiple directories is playing, only tracks from one directory can be displayed and played at a time. Select the desired directory and press the Play Button !e 25 to start the first track. To see and play tracks from other directories, first you must select that directory, then select the track and press the Play Button

!e 25 .

•Only stereo audio playback is available for MP3 and WMA discs.
