Outline

The player can play back MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG-4 (Simple
profile) files on a personally recorded media as follows:
CD-R/RW, memory card, commercially available CD
The player can also play back MPEG-4 (Advanced simple profile)
and DivX files recorded on CD-R/RW, DVD-R/-RW. Some DVD-R
and DVD-RW discs mastered as multi border (multi-session) may
not be compatible with the player.
You can select and play back files using the Control display on
the TV screen.
• The player may be unable to play back the media due to the

Precautions

About files and folders (groups) on the disc or the
memory card
• 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”, “avi”, “divx”, “jpeg”, “mp3”,
and “wma”.
• Time required for reading the media contents may vary for
different media, 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 to150 files per group, and up to 250
groups per disc/memory card. Files other than MP3/WMA/
JPEG/MPEG-4/DivX files count in the 999 total.
