Notes on Discs

Disc Recording Format

CD-R Discs

•Depending on the disc recording device (CD-Recorder or PC ) and the condition of the disc, some CD-R discs may not be playable.

•Use a 650MB/74 minute CD-R. Avoid CD-R media, as they may not be playable.

•If possible, do not use CD-RW (Rewritable) media, as they may not be playable.

•Only the CD-Rs that are properly "closed" can be fully played. If the session is closed but the disc is left open, you may not be able to fully play the disc.

CD-R MP3 Discs

•Only CD-R discs with MP3 files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.

•MP3 file names should be 8 characters or less in length and contain no blank spaces or special characters (. / = +).

•If the name of a file is in Korean, the name will be displayed on the TV screen in Korean and * will be shown in the display of the main unit.

•Use discs recorded with a compression/decompression data rate greater than 128Kbps.

•Only files with the ".mp3" and ".MP3" extensions can be played.

•Only a consecutively written Multisession disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the Multisession disc, the disc can be played only up to the blank segment.

•If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to begin playback and not all of the recorded files may be played.

•For files encoded in Variable Bit Rate (VBR) format, i.e. files encoded in both low bit rate and high bit rate (e.g., 32Kbps ~ 320Kbps), the sound may skip during playback.

•If more than 500 tracks are recorded on a single CD, a maximum of 500 tracks can be played.

•If more than 300 folders are recorded on a single CD, a maximum of 300 folders can be played.

What is MP3?

MP3 is short for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and MPEG is an acronym for Moving Pictures Experts Group. MP3 is a file format with compression ratio of 1:12 (128 Kbps*) That is, you can use MP3 format to record about 12 times the usual amount of data on a regular CD.

• Only files with the ".jpeg" and ".JPEG" extensions can be played.
• If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to start playing and not all of the recorded files may be played.
• Only CD-R discs with JPEG files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.
• JPEG file names should be 8 characters or less in length and contain no blank spaces or special characters (. / = +).	MISCELLANEOUS

disc can be played only up to the blank segment.
• A maximum of 9,999 images can be stored on a single CD.
• When playing a Kodak/Fuji Picture CD, only the JPEG files in the picture folder can be played.
