MP3 & JPEG Compatibility

•The DPC-8.5 can play/display MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs.

•Discs must be in ISO9660 Level 2 format (folders can be up to eight levels deep).

•Discs must be finalized.

•The DPC-8.5 can only recognize the first session on multisession discs.

•You can determine the order in which the DPC-8.5 plays/displays your MP3 songs and JPEG pictures by prefixing file and folder names with a three-digit num- ber. For example 001.Root, 002.Folder, and so on, and 001.Track.mp3, 002.Track.mp3, and so on.

•Only the first eight characters of folder and track names (excluding the filename extension) are dis- played.

•The folder numbered “001” appears as “ROOT” in the Disc Navigator.

•The DPC-8.5 supports up to 999 folders and up to 672 files per folder.

•If you try to play an incompatible file, the message “This format cannot be played” appears on the display.

■MP3

•MP3 files must be MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1 or 48 kHz, fixed bit-rate.

•MP3 files must have a “.mp3” or “.MP3” filename extension.

•Variable bit-rates (VBR) from 64 kbps to 384 kbps are supported. (Playing times may display incorrectly with VBR.)

■JPEG

•JPEG files must have a “.jpg” or “.jpeg” filename extension (either uppercase or lowercase is OK).

•Baseline JPEG files are supported. Progressive JPEG files are not.

•Only JPEG files with the following brightness/color difference ratios are supported: 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:1:1.

•JPEG files must be less than 5 megabytes in size.
