Marantz DV9500 DVD-Video regions, MP3 compatibility information, Jpeg compatibility information

Before You Start

DVD-Video regions

All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD player also has a region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player. Discs marked ALL will play in any player.

MP3 compatibility information

•The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.

•Files should be MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1kHz or 48kHz. Incompatible files will not play.

•This player is not compatible with MP3 PRO, ID3-Tag and packet write.

•When using a variable bit rate, files may be played back at speeds between 32Kbps and 320Kbps.

•This player cannot play DVD-R/RW discs with recorded MP3 music data.

•VBR files may not show play times correctly.

•This player only plays tracks that are named with the file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

•This player is not compatible with multi-session discs. If you try and play a multi-session disc, only the first session will be played.

•Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your MP3 files. The disc must be finalized in order to play.

•Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close to regular audio CD quality. Although this player will play lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.

•Only the first 8 characters of folder and track names (excluding the “.mp3” extension) are displayed.

•This player can recognize about total 600 files/ folder.

JPEG compatibility information

•While this player is designed to be able to handle image data recorded in JPEG format, no assurances are given that the player will be able to display image data recorded in all JPEG formats.

•Display is limited to the display of files up to 30MB in size.

•This player cannot display progressive JPEG images.

•When writing JPEG files to CD-R/RW discs, always be sure to set the writing format to ISO 9660 Level 1.

•Always be sure to specify a file extension of “.JPG” or “.JPE” for JPEG files. The file will not be able to be displayed if a file extension other than “.JPG” or “.JPE” is specified or if no file extension is assigned to the file. (Note that this means that JPEG files created on a Macintosh will not be able to be displayed as is.)

Caution!

•DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the player’s lens.

•If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

•Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played.

•Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs cannot be played.

•For more information on using DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs, see “Handling discs” on page 55.

•Never try to replay anything other than a music CD (CDA format) or a CD-R/RW on which MP3 and/or JPEG files have been stored. Depending on the type of file, there may be times when doing so will result in problems or erroneous operation.

•There may be times when it is impossible to replay a CD-R/RW disc because of the charac- teristics of the disc being used or because of dirt or scratches on the disc.
