Playing an MP3 audio track

The playback order of albums and tracks recorded on a DATA CD or DATA DVD is 
as follows.

• Structure of disc contents

When you insert a DATA CD or DATA DVD and press 

H PLAY, the numbered 

tracks are played sequentially, from 

1

 through 

7

.  Any sub-albums/tracks contained 

within a currently selected album does not take priority over the next album in the 
same tree. (Example: 

E contains G but 6 is played before 

7

.)

When you press 

O RETURN and the list of MP3 albums appears (page 91), the 

albums are arranged in the following order: 

A t B t D t E t F t G.

Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album 

C) do not appear in the list.

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track file names, the tracks will be 

played in that order.

• A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback.  Some discs with many trees cannot be 

played back.

• Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD or DATA DVD, the playback 

order may differ from the illustration above.

• The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than a total of 1000 albums 

and tracks in the DATA CD or DATA DVD.

• A  total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files. 

Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded.  For example, if 990 JPEG files are 
recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first 
9 MP3 files can be recognized.

• Depending on the disc contents, playback may take some time to start.

Playing JPEG image files

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-
ROMs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs) recorded in JPEG format. 
However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet 
format and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format (UDF) for the player to recognize 
the tracks (or files). You can also play DATA CDs or DATA DVDs recorded in Multi 
Session or Multi Border (see “Note on Multi Session/Border discs” on page 98). 
Refer to the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW drives 
and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

• If both video data and JPEG image files exist on a DATA DVD, the player recognizes only 

the video data.

• A  total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files. 

Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are 
recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first 
9 MP3 files can be recognized.

If JPEG image files are recorded in the first session/border, the player will also play  
JPEG image files in other session/border. If audio tracks and images in Music CD 
format or Video CD format are recorded in the first session/border, only the first 
session/border will be played back.

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the file names, the files will be played in 

that order.

• This player can play JPEG image files with the extension “.JPEG” or “.JPG.”
• Some DATA CDs or DATA DVDs cannot be played on this system depending on file format.
• The  player may not be able to play some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet 

Write format.

• If you add the extension “.JPG” or “.JPEG” to data not in JPEG format, “Can not Display” 

will appear.

• Depending on the disc or the size of image files, playback may take some time to start.
• Progressive and lossless compression JPEG image files are not supported.
• The image size that can be displayed is limited.  You can display the following images; 

width 32 - 7680 pixels by height 32 - 8192 pixels.

fi and normal audio tracks) but with less noise.

Press AUDIO to display “SAP” on the TV screen.  When a SAP (Second Audio 
Program) is received, “SAP” appears on the TV screen.  When “MAIN” is selected,

During playback, press AUDIO to select the sound you want.

The VCR records sound onto two separate tracks.  Hi-fi audio is recorded onto the 
main track along with the picture.  Monaural sound is recorded onto the normal audio 
track along the edge of the tape.

• To play a tape in stereo, you must use the A/V connections.
• When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural regardless of the 

AUDIO setting.
