Notes on playback

Depending on the recording and the characteristics of the disc it is possible that the disc may not be readable, or that reading the disc may take some time.

The time it takes to read a disc differs depending on the number of groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.

The order of the group/track (file) name list display and the order displayed on a PC screen may be different.

When playing commercially available MP3 discs, it is possible that playback will be in a different order from the order described on the disc.

It may take some time to play still pictures containing MP3 files. The time- elapsed is not displayed until playback has begun. Further, there are times when an accurate elapsed time is not displayed, even once playback has begun.

It is possible that data that has been processed, edited, or saved using computer image editing software might not play.

JPEG

File system: ISO9660 level 1 or level 2

Discs that have been recorded in the packet write (UDF) format cannot be read.

Filename: Half-width English characters only. Must bear the “.jpg” or “.jpeg” file extension. Distinction between upper- and lowercase characters is not per- formed.

Total number of pixels: Images containing up to 8192 x 7680 pixels can be read. However, because it takes time to reproduce files with a resolution exceeding 640 x 480 pixels, it is recommended that images be saved at 640 x 480 pixels.

Track (file) count: up to 1000

Other: It is possible to play multi-session recorded discs.

Only baseline JPEG is supported.

Monochrome JPEG files cannot be read.

Progressive JPEG and motion JPEG are not supported.

JPEG data created by a digital camera and conforming to the DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) standard is supported. When certain digital camera functions such as automatic rotation have been used, it is likely that the data will not comply with the DCF standard. If this is the case, playback may not be possible.
