MP3/WMA Audio CD, JPEG Photo CDs, Video CD and DivX DVD Playback

The MVP871 has the ability of playing back special types of disc formats that are created primarily on a computer. The ability to successfully playback these discs on the MVP871 Player is dependent upon using the correct hard- ware and software. Please refer to the maker of the com- puter and software publisher to insure proper results.

The MP3/WMA Audio CD Formats allow the plac-

ing of more tracks on a CD Disc by using the technique of lossy compression applied to the original audio informa- tion. A special version of WMA allows for lossless verion of the original audio information. The MP3 Track after compression is applied, results in lower audio quality than the original recording.

The JPEG Photo File Format is used by a majority of Digital Photo Cameras on the market and the Photos are easily viewed on a variety of consumer products. Some of the Kodak1 Picture CDs and Fujifilm2 Fujicolor2 CDs may also playback on the MVP871.

The Video CDs allow for the playback of “Live Video” copied from devices such as Camcorders and some Digital Cameras.

The DivX DVDs allow for playback of movies/videos downloaded via the internet and recorded onto a DVD recordable disc.
