About files

Playable file types for theUSB MEMORY

For all playable files

•The system can only recognize and play files with one of the following extensions, regardless of the letter case— upper/lower:

MP3: <.MP3>, <.mp3>

WMA: <.WMA>, <.wma>

WAV: <.WAV>, <.WAVE>, <.wav>, <.wave>

JPEG: <.JPG>, <.JPEG>, <.jpg>, <.jpeg>

MPEG-1/MPEG-2:<.MPG>, <.MPEG>, <.mpg>, <.mpeg>

ASF: <.ASF>, <.asf>

•The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99 groups per device, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the system can play is 4 000.

•Some files may not be played back normally because of their characteristics or recording conditions.

•Some files require a longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

•If different kinds of files are mixed, 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 30.)

For MP3/WMA/WAV files

•The system supports MP3/WMA files recorded at a bit rate of 32 – 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz (for WMA only), 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.

•If the track information (album name, artist, and track title, etc.) is recorded, it appears in the file control display on the TV screen. (See page 24.)

•It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA/WAV files at the following conditions:

MP3/WMA: At a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and bit rate of 128 kbps.

WAV: 44.1 kHz/16 bit Linear PCM.

For JPEG files

•It is recommended that you 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.

For MPEG-1/MPEG-2 files

•The stream format should conform to MPEG system/ program stream.

•720 x 576 pixels (25 fps)/720 x 480 pixels (30 fps) is recommended for the highest resolution.

•This system also supports the resolutions of 352 x 576/ 480 x 576/352 x 288 pixels (25 fps) and 352 x 480/480 x 480/352 x 240 pixels (30 fps).

•The file format should be MP@ML (Main Profile at Main Level)/SP@ML (Simple Profile at Main Level)/MP@LL (Main Profile at Low Level).

•Audio streams should conform to MPEG1 Audio Layer-2 or MPEG2 Audio Layer-2.

For ASF files

•The system supports the types of the advanced simple profile as MPEG-4 files (MPEG-4 ASF).

•The system supports MPEG-4 files with the following conditions:

File format: ASF

Visual profile: MPEG-4 SP (Simple Profile)

Audio CODEC: G.726

Max. picture size: 352 x 288 (CIF)

Max. bit rate: 384 kbps
