NOTE
Outline
The player can play back MP3/WMA/JPEG files on either a
personally recorded CD-R/RW disc, or a commercially available
CD.
You can select and play back files using the Control display on
the TV screen.
• Some discs may not be playable depending on recording
conditions.
Note that if a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and JPEG
files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the
[MP3&WMA/JPEG] setting in the [PICTURE] preference display
(see page 35).
Precautions
About files and folders (groups) on the disc
• Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.
In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder.”
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
• The player can detect and play back the groups which are
located up to the fifth layer.
• The files in the Control display are arranged by the alphabetical
order of extensions as follows: “.jpeg,” “.mp3” and “.wma.”
• Time required for reading the disc contents may vary for
different discs, depending on the numbers of folders (groups)
and files recorded, etc.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group
1.”
• The player recognizes up to 150 files per group, and up to 99
groups per disc. Files other than MP3/WMA/JPEG files also
count in the 150 total.
Notes for making your own disc using a CD-R/RW
disc
• Use “ISO 9960” as the disc format.
• The player does not support “packet writing (UDF file)” discs.
• The player supports discs recorded with up to five multiple
sessions.
• Some discs may not play due to disc characteristics or
recording conditions.
Notes for making files/groups
• If a file name includes even one 2-byte character, the player
may not show the file name correctly.
• The player supports up to 12 characters as the group/file
names.
• You cannot advance or reverse playback by pressing ¡ or
1, or by holding down ¢ or 4 during MP3/WMA disc
playback.
• The player can only recognize files with one of the following
extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower
case:
- For MP3 files, “.MP3,” “.mp3.”
- For WMA files, “.WMA,” “.wma.”
- For JPEG files, “.JPG,” “.JPEG,” “.jpg,” “.jpeg.”
