Reading JPEG files

Your player can read discs containing JPEG image files with a resolution of up to 2.1 million pixels. If automatic playback mode was selected, a slide show displaying each image recorded on the disc will start automatically; if manual playback mode was selected, you will be asked to select each image for display individually. If automatic playback mode was selected, the menu used to set each image’s display time is displayed. Use the remote control’s Navigation keys to select each image’s display time. Validate by pressing OK; all files (and/or folders) recorded on the disc are then listed. Press the remote control’s Navigation keys to select an image (or folder, if there are any) and then press OK.

• No banner is displayed when JPEG image files are being shown.

If the picture is displayed upside-down or as a side view, press the ANGLE key until it is displayed correctly.

If JPEG or MP3 files are recorded on the disc or the disc is a Video CD containing JPEG image files, a contextual menu is displayed.

What’s MP3?

MP3 is the audio file format allowing you to easily compress music recordings, and was

co-developed by .

The main advantage of MP3 is that it enables storage of CD-quality music tracks on a home computer in manageable, compressed files.

Thanks to compression you now only need about 4 Mb of disc space for a 4 minute music track, compared with some 40 Mb for conventional file formats, but with almost no reduction in listening quality!

• Please read also our recommendations about MP3 discs, on page 2.

MP3 CD Playback

When you play an MP3 disc, the MP3 menu will be displayed instead of the DVD player menu. The DVD player menu is not available when playing MP3 discs. MP3 content is divided into album(s) and songs. A disc may hold several albums and each album can contain several songs. (Similar to titles and chapters on a DVD disc.)

Use the remote control Navigation keys to select albums and songs.

• As computer files, several levels (several albums) may be recorded on a disc.

Song skip

Press repeatedly on the ¨¨ or Ãà keys to go to the previous song or to the next one. Press as many times as the number of songs you want to skip (wait a few seconds after each press).
