Files are automatically grouped as follows and displayed on the MP3/JPEG Navigation screen. Data is displayed in the alphabetical order of file name. Files are grouped based on roots.

This unit can recognise up to 9 hierarchies including directories and files.

Also, it can recognise up to 250 files in each group, and up to 99 groups on a disc.

NOTES:

Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)

The contents of a disc are recorded into several hierarchies, and played back according to the instructions on the screen while navigating through the hierarchies. It is also possible to playback recorded tracks consecutively without activating the PBC function even when playing a PBC-compatible disc. ( pg. 50)

DVD VIDEO Marks

Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and functions of the disc. Check the marks indicating the contents and functions of the disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may not include a mark even for a function it supports.
