JVC TH-A75 manual MP3 disc playback, Basic operation, To start playback

MP3 disc playback

This system can play MP3 tracks (files) recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “MP3 disc” in this manual.

•Before using the remote control, press DVD to change the remote control operation mode for the MP3 disc operations.

•When playing back an MP3 disc, set “MP3/JPEG” on the PICTURE menu of the choice menu to “MP3” (see page 53).

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

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

7NOTES for MP3 disc

•MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer read- out time. (The time differs depending on the complexity of the group (folder)/track (file) configuration.)

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

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

•This system can not play “packet write” discs.

•This system 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 “ID3 Tag” where its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There are two versions—ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag version 2).

•It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This system cannot play back files recorded at the rate of under 64 kbps.

•If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, set the MP3/JPEG setting on the PICTURE menu to “MP3.” (See page 53.)

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