Harman-Kardon DVD 38 Jpeg Playback, Programmed playlists are not available for MP3/WMA discs

OPERATION

NOTES ON MP3 AND WMA PLAYBACK:

•During playback, the front-panel display and the time indicator on the screen above the list will show the elapsed time of the track being played. Other time display options are not available with MP3/WMA playback.

•The DVD 38 is only compatible with standard MP3- and WMA-encoded discs. Other compressed audio formats used for Internet audio downloads will not play on the DVD 38.

•Due to the differences in various versions of the MP3 and WMA formats, and the many differences between the CD-R machines used to record discs on a computer, it is possible that some discs may not play on the DVD 38 even though they will work on a computer. This is normal and does not indicate a fault with the unit.

•When a multisession disc with both standard CD audio and MP3 or WMA content is in use, the DVD 38 will play only the CD audio sections of the disc. Track numbers will be visible in the display, but the files will not be decoded.

•If a disc containing MP3, WMA and/or JPEG files is created in more than one session, the DVD 38 may not recognize files added during the later sessions, especially if the disc was finalized after the first session.

•When a disc with multiple folders is playing, only tracks from one folder can be displayed and played at a time. Select the desired folder and press the Play Button or Enter Button to start the first track. To see and play tracks from other folders, you must first collapse the current folder as appropriate and use the Navigation Buttons until the desired folder is selected. Press the Enter Button to expand the folder, navigate to the desired track, and press the Enter or Play Button to begin play.

•Only stereo-audio playback is available for MP3 and WMA discs.

•Programmed playlists are not available for MP3/WMA discs.

•Use the Navigation Buttons to select the DISC INFO Submenu icon on the left side of the screen, and press the Enter Button to view it. If the disc contains ID3 tag information, then the current MP3 track information – song title, artist, album, year, genre, and any comments will be displayed. For WMA and JPEG files, only the file name will appear.

JPEG Playback

The DVD 38 is capable of recognizing JPEG still-image files and dis- playing them. When a disc or folder containing JPEG files is loaded, the JPEG Disc-Type Indicator will light in the Main Information Display. The disc will immediately begin displaying the images on the disc in order.

When viewing JPEG images, the Angle Button may be used to rotate the image. With the image onscreen, press the Angle Button once to display the current orientation of the image, usually +0. Press the Angle Button again to rotate the image clockwise 90 degrees. Each additional press of the Angle Button will continue to rotate the image clockwise by 90 degrees.

You may use the Zoom Button to enlarge a JPEG image, and the Navigation Buttons to explore the enlarged image.

You may view thumbnails of the images in an expanded folder by press- ing the Disc Menu Button. When the images appear on screen, you may use the Navigation Buttons to move the picture frame until the desired image is selected. Press the Enter Button to display a full-size view of that image. See Figure 52.
