Playable file types

For all playable files

The system can only recognize and play files with one of the following extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower case;

MP3: “.MP3”, “.mp3”

WMA: “.WMA”, “.wma”

JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”

ASF: “.ASF”, “.asf”

MPEG-2/MPEG-1:“.MPG”, “.MPEG”, “.mpg”, “.mpeg”

DivX: “.DIVX”, “.DIV”, “.divx”, “.div”, and “.AVI”, “.avi”

The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99 groups per disc/device, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the system can play is 4000.

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

MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF/MPEG-2/MPEG-1/DivX 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 34.)

For MP3/WMA files

The system supports MP3/WMA files recorded with a bit rate of 32 – 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz*, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.

If the track information (track title, artist, and album name, etc.) is recorded, it appears in the file control display on the TV screen. (See page 27.)

We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of

128 (96*) kbps.

* For WMA only

For JPEG files

We recommend to 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 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

For MPEG-2/MPEG-1 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 DivX files

The system supports DivX 6.x, 5.x, 4.x and 3.11.

The system supports DivX files whose resolution is 720 x 480 pixels or less (30 fps), and 720 x 576 pixels or less (25 fps).

Audio stream should conform to Dolby Digital (including multi channel) or MPEG1 Audio Layer-3 (MP3).

The system does not support GMC (Global Motion Compression).

The file encoded in the interlaced scanning mode may not be played back correctly.

The system has its own Registration Code for DivX playback.

If necessary, you can confirm the Registration Code of your system using the OTHERS menu. (See page 35.)
