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.
