Audio/Video files playback

Outline

The player can play back MP3/JPEG/MPEG-4 (simple profile/asf
file) files on either a personally recorded CD-R/RW disc, or a
commercially available CD.
You can select and play back files using the Control display on
the TV screen.
• The player may be unable to play back a disc due to the
characteristics or recording conditions.

Precautions

About files and folders (groups) on the disc
• Files are sometimes grouped into folders by genre, album, etc.
In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder.”
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
• The player can detect and play back the groups which are
located up to the fifth layer.
• The files in the Control display are arranged by the alphabetical
order of extensions as follows: “.asf,” “.jpeg” and “.mp3.”
• Time required for reading the disc contents may vary for
different discs, depending on the numbers of folders (groups)
and files recorded, etc.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group
1.”
• The player recognizes up to 999 files per group, and up to 250
groups per disc. Files other than MP3/JPEG/MPEG-4 files also
count in the 999 total.
Notes for making your own disc using a CD-R/CD-
RW disc
• Use “ISO 9660” as the disc format.
• The player does not support “packet writing (UDF file)” discs.
• The player supports discs recorded with up to five multiple
sessions.
• Some discs may not play due to disc characteristics or
recording conditions.
Notes for making files/groups
• If a file name includes even one 2-byte character, the player
may not show the file name correctly.
