About MP3 and JPEG picture discs

Root

Album (Folder)

Track (File)

You can play MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW with similar uses as a music CD. The DVD player regards folders in the MP3 disc as albums, and files as tracks (as shown on the left). Also you can play JPEG picture files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW. For details about how to play JPEG picture discs, refer to “Playing MP3 or JPEG (Kodak) Picture Discs” (page 18).

What is MP3?

“MP3” is a standard technology and format for compressing an audio sequence into a small-sized file. However it preserves the original level of sound quality when it is played.

Notes

•Depending on recording conditions such as recording software settings, the DVD player may not be able to play the disc or play tracks in the order they were recorded.

•The DVD player is compatible with a bit rate range of 32, 64, 96, 128, 192, or 256 kbps and variable bit encoded MP3 files.

•The DVD player is compatible with a sampling frequency of 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz.

What is JPEG?

“JPEG” is a compression format for still images. With only a slight drop in image quality (part of the data is removed), still image data can be compressed to approximately 1/10 to 1/100 of its original size.

Note

This unit does not support the progressive JPEG format.
