If you have a disc that contains both MP3 files
and JPEG images, you can choose to run these
simultaneously, mixing the MP3 audio with your
own images.The time interval can be chosen in
the Picture Setting.
Also you can have the image files follow the
audio signal: at the end of each audio track, the
next JPEG image will be shown.
With such discs, you can also either listen to the
MP3 audio or watch the JPEG video files only. In
order to do so, in stop mode, click on the AUDIO
or PICTURE icons on the left part of the screen to
select or deselect the desired format. Once done,
the tracklist will only show the MP3 or JPEG files.
