Chapter 4: Playing Discs

IntroScan Icon (Audio CD)

Use the IntroScan feature to preview each track on the CD.

1.While the CD is playing, press INFO (the Info Display appears).

2.Use the arrow buttons to highlight the IntroScan icon.

3.Press OK (the first 20 seconds of each track starts playing).

Playback Control (PBC) Icon (Video CD)

Use the arrow buttons to highlight the Playback Control icon. Press the up or down arrow button to go back and forth between On and Off. How Playback Control (PBC) works varies for different Video CDs. With most Video CDs, turning on Playback Control enables you to access the Video CD’s menu if it has one and requires that you navigate through the Video CD’s contents by using the Video CD menu instead of the DVD/VCR’s Info Display. When PBC is on, you won’t be able to use any repeat modes or skip titles in the DVD/VCR’s Info Display.

Playing Discs You Recorded (DVD+R and DVD+RW)

Playback of DVD+R and DVD+RW discs that you used to record programs is explained in Chapter 3 (go to page 32).

Playing mp3 or JPEG files

Your DVD/VCR can play mp3 files and JPEG files. You can also create a musical slide show by putting both mp3 (MPEG-1, layer 3) and JPEG files on the same disc.

mp3 is an audio file format which compresses recorded music. It was developed by Fraunhofer Gesellschaft in collaboration with Thomson Inc. The main advantage of the mp3 format is the ability to store CD-quality music tracks that are user-friendly and compressed on a personal computer. mp3 (MPEG-3, which stands for Motion Picture Experts Group-Layer 3, meaning the third layer of information) is a format used to compress digital audio. Since the audio is compressed, it takes up less space.

Note: You can only play true mp3 files in the DVD/VCR—some products use software to compress mp3 files and convert them to other formats such as MPX. Your DVD/VCR won’t recognize or play MPX files or other types of converted mp3 files.

JPEG files are image files. Make sure that they have a resolution of less than 5 megapixels (approximately 2MB).

Note: The time taken for the contents of the disc to be displayed varies according to the size and number of JPEG files actually on the disc. If nothing is displayed after a few minutes, it is likely that certain files are too large. In this case, reduce the files’ resolution to less than 5 megapixels (approximately 2MB) and write another disc.

Creating an mp3 Disc on Your Computer

Your DVD/VCR handles MPEG-1, layer 3 audio. If you encode your own mp3 files from an audio CD, avoid using the features of MPEG-2, such as the 22kHz sampling frequency.

Be sure to make a data CD rather than an audio CD. If you make an audio CD, you will lose the extra features and compression of the mp3 format.

Notes:

Some transport modes (reverse and fast forward) are not available for mp3 CDs.

When burning multisession CDs, make sure you close the last session.
