Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can
be played back only if they are already “finalized”.
• When making your own disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2
for the disc format.
• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).
• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or
cautions carefully.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by
the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of
regular CDs.
• Some discs may not be played due to their disc characteristics,
recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.
• This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in the audio
CD format.
This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3 or JPEG
files are recorded on them.
Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3/JPEG
disc are determined by the writing (encoding) software and
hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and
hardware used, the following symptoms may occur:
• Some tracks/files on an MP3/JPEG disc may be skipped or may
not be played normally.
• Some files on a JPEG disc may be played distortedly.
Notes on MP3/JPEG discs
• MP3/JPEG discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer
readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file
configuration.)
• The system can only recognize files with one of the following
extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower
case:
MP3: “.MP3”, “.mp3”
JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”
• If different kinds of the file are mixed on a disc, set the FILE
TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting
for the data to be read (“AUDIO” or “STILL PICTURE”). (See
page 32.)
Notes on MP3 files
• Tag information (album name, artist name, and track name) can
be shown on the TV. (See page 24.)
• The system can play back the MP3 files recorded at 32 kbps to
320 kbps as a bit rate, and at 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz, 48 kHz as a sampling frequency.
• We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at a
sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of 128 kbps.
Notes on JPEG files
• We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file
has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will
take a longer time to be displayed.)
• This system can only play baseline JPEG files.
