MP3/JPEG Disc Playback

This unit can play back MP3/JPEG files on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call a disc containing MP3 files “MP3 disc” and a disc containing JPEG files “JPEG disc” in this instruction.

•For details about other discs (DVD, SVCD, VCD, CD) playback, see pages 29 to 33.

•In this instruction, “file” is also referred to as “track.”

•Turn on your TV and select the correct input mode on the TV.

If “ ” appears on the TV when you press a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do.

Notes for MP3/JPEG discs

•MP3/JPEG discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time than normal discs. (It depends on the complexity of the folder/file configuration.)

•When making an MP3/JPEG disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

•This unit supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).

•This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.

•Some MP3/JPEG discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

•If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, change the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to play the desired files (see page 61).

Notes for MP3 files

•This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions: “.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mP3” and “.mp3”.

•ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.

* An MP3 file can contain file information called an “ID3 Tag” where its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded.

•It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. The unit cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than 64 kbps.
