Introduction—Continued

MP3/WMA/JPEG Compatibility

The DVD receiver can play/display MP3, WMA, and JPEG files recorded on CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW discs.

Discs must be in ISO 9660 Level 2 or Joliet format (folders can be up to eight levels deep). Music files recorded on discs that use the HFS (hierarchical file system) cannot be played.

Discs must be finalized.

The DVD receiver can only recognize the first session on multisession discs.

You can determine the order in which the DVD receiver plays/displays your MP3/WMA songs and JPEG pictures by prefixing file and folder names with a three-digit number. For example 001.Root, 002.Folder, and so on, and 001.Track.mp3, 002.Track.mp3, and so on.

Only the first eight characters of folder and track names (excluding the filename extension) are displayed.

The folder numbered “001” appears as “ROOT” in the Disc Navigator.

The DVD receiver supports up to 255 folders and up to 255 files per folder.

If you try to play an incompatible file, the message “This format cannot be played.” appears on the dis- play.
