DivX

®

 is a video file compression 

technology, developed by DivXNetworks, 
Inc. This product is an official DivX

®

certified product.
You can play DATA CDs and DATA DVDs 
that contain DivX video files.

Playback of DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/
CD-RWs) and DATA DVDs (DVD-Rs/
DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs) on this 
player is subject to certain conditions:
– With DATA CDs that contain DivX video 

files in addition to MP3 audio tracks or 
JPEG image files, the player plays only the 
DivX video files.

– With DATA DVDs, the player plays DivX 

video files only. Any data other than DivX 
video file, such as MP3 audio tracks and 
JPEG image files, are not played.

However, this player only plays DATA CDs 
whose logical format is ISO 9660 Level 1/
Level 2 or Joliet, and DATA DVDs of 
Universal Disk Format (UDF). 
You can also play DATA CDs recorded in 
Multi Session (page 62), although DATA 
DVDs recorded in Multi Session are not 
playable.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the 
disc drives and the recording software (not 
supplied) for details on the recording format.

See “About playback order of albums, tracks 
and files” (page 62). Note that the playback 
order may not be applicable, depending on 
the software used for creating the DivX video 
file, or if there are more than 200 albums and 
600 DivX video files in each album.

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

The player can play data that is recorded in 
DivX format, and which has the extension 
“.AVI,” or “.DIVX.” The player will not play 
files with the extension “.AVI” or “.DIVX” if 
they do not contain a DivX video.

z

For details about playable MP3 audio tracks or 
JPEG image files on DATA CDs, see “DATA CDs 
that the player can play” (page 62).

• The player may not play a DivX video file when 

the file has been combined from two or more 
DivX video files.

• The player cannot play a DivX video file of size 

more than 720 (width) × 576 (height)/2 GB.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture 

may be unclear or the sound may skip.

• The player cannot play some DivX video files that 

are longer than 3 hours.

You can play DivX video files on DATA CDs 
(CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) and DATA 
DVDs (DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/
DVD+RWs).

z

You can view the disc information while playing a 
DivX video file (page 49).

• If there are no DivX video files recorded on a 

DATA DVD, a message appears to indicate that 
the disc is not playable.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture 

may pause or be unclear. In which case, it is 
recommended that you create the file at a lower 
bit rate. If the sound is still noisy, MP3 is the 
recommended audio format. Note, however, this 
player does not conform to WMA (Windows 
Media Audio) format.

• Because of the compression technology used for 

DivX video files, it may take some time after you 
press H for the picture to appear.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the sound may 

not match the pictures on the screen.
