*1 ISO9660 Format

The most common international standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM. There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than eight characters in the name, no more than three characters in the extension “.MP3” or “.JPG”) and in capital letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight characters. There can be no more than eight nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names and folder names up to 31 characters long. Each folder can have up to 8 trees.

For Joliet in the expansion format (file and folder names can have up to 64 characters) make sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.

*2 Multi Session

This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session.

CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks in session 2.

Notes on discs

This system can play CD-R/CD-RW discs edited by the user. However, note that playback of some discs may not be possible depending on the recording device used for recording or the disc condition.

CD-R and CD-RW discs that have not been correctly finalized (processing to allow play by a normal CD player) cannot be played.

CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi- session that have not ended by “closing the session” are not supported.

The system may be unable to play MP3/JPEG format files that do not have the extender “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG”.

Attempting to play non-MP3/JPEG format files that have the extender “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG” may result in noise or malfunction. Playback is possible up to 8 levels.

With formats other than ISO9660 level 1 and 2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.

The following discs take a longer time to start playback.

a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.

a disc recorded in Multi Session.

a disc to which data can be added (non- finalized disc).

Some CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs or DVD- RWs (in video mode) (DVD-RWs created in video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO) cannot be played on this system depending upon the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device. Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording device.
