MP3 is an audio compression technology that satisfies certain ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is an image compression technology.

You can play MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) format audio tracks on DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/ CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/ DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/ DVD-RAMs) or play JPEG image files on DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs). DivX® is a video file compression technology, developed by DivX, Inc. This product is an official DivX® Certified product.

DATA DVDs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2 format for the recorder to recognise the MP3 tracks, JPEG image files, and DivX video files.

DATA CDs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2, or Joliet format for the recorder to recognise the MP3 tracks, JPEG image files, and DivX video files.
