About discs

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

•User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized”.

•When making your own disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.

•This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).

•This system cannot play “packet write” discs.

•Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

•CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

•Some discs may not be played due to their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.

•This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in the audio CD format.

This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3/WMA/ JPEG/MPEG4 files are recorded on them.

Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3/ WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 disc are determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur:

•Some tracks/files on an MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 disc may be skipped or may not be played normally.

•Some files on a JPEG/MPEG4 disc may be played distortedly.

Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs

Notes on MP3/WMA files

•Tag information (album name, artist name, and track name) can be shown on the TV. (See page 24.)

•The system can play back the MP3/WMA files recorded at 32 kbps to 320 kbps as a bit rate, and at 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, (24 kHz for MP3 only) 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz as a sampling frequency.

•We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of 128 kbps for MP3 files or 96 kbps for WMA files.

Notes on JPEG files

•We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will take a longer time to be displayed.)

•This system can only play baseline JPEG files.

Notes on MPEG4 files

•The system can play back the MPEG4 files followed the conditions below:

File format: ASF

Visual profile: MPEG4 SP (Simple Profile)

Audio CODEC: G.726

Max. picture size: 352 x 288 (CIF)

Max. bit rate: 384 kbps

•MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

•The system can only recognize files with one of the following extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower case:

MP3: “.MP3”, “.mp3”

WMA: “.WMA”, “.wma”

JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”

MPEG4: “.ASF”, “.asf”

•If different kinds of the file are mixed on a disc, set the FILE TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting for the data to be read (“AUDIO”, “STILL PICTURE”, or “VIDEO”). (See page 32.)
