RESTRICTIONS FOR CD-ROMS

The following is a list of restrictions that are imposed by the DVD player on CD-ROMs and on MP3/WMA files.

Fast forward and fast rewind do not work with MP3 or WMA playback.

Skipping forward past the end of a directory with CD-ROMs causes playback to continue from the next directory containing valid files. Skip-back can be performed only as far as the beginning of the current directory.

Directory trees may be up to 10 directories deep.

Only sample rates of 44.1kHz and 48kHz are supported.

For MP3 playback, the following constant bit rates are supported: 32, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 256 and 320 kilobits per second. Variable bitrate (VBR) between 96kb/s and 320kb/s is also supported.

For WMA playback, the following constant bit rates are supported: 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, and 192 kilobits per second.

CD-ROM discs may contain files other than MP3, WMA or JPEGs, but these will not be displayed on the screen.

Because of differences in the many MP3 and WMA encoders available, we recommend that you conduct a test recording before transferring large numbers of files to CD-R or CD-RW for subsequent playback on the DV27A.
