Discs that the system can play

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD- Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-Rs/DVD- RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs/DVD-ROMs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) or JPEG format. However, the DATA CDs must be recorded according to ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format (UDF) for the system to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session.

See the operating instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW or DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

About the Multi-Session disc

If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are recorded in the first session, the system will also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in other sessions. If audio tracks and images in audio CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

Note

•The system may not be able to play some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format.
