Notes on MP3 Recordings
About MP3
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
MP3 Disc compatibility with this player is limit-
ed as follows:
1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1 kHz
2. Bit rate / within 32-320 kbps
3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”
4. If you record MP3 files using the software which
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-
CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We
recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which
creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first
track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it can-
not playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new
one.
6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less
and must incorporate “.mp3” extension
e.g. “********.MP3”.
7. Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.
8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than
650.
This DVD player requires discs/recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically
set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 files). That require certain pre-existing conditions
(see above) to insure compatible playback.
Customers should also note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 files and music
from the Internet. Our company has no right to
grant such permission. Permission should always
be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Recordings
Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG
files, it could take a long time for the DVD player to
read the disc’s contents. If you don’t see an on-
screen display after several minutes, some of the files
are too big — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files
to less than 2 mega pixels and burn another disc.
Total number of files and folders on the disc should
be less than 650.
Some disc may be incompatible due to different
recording format or condition of disc.
When you are using software such as “Easy CD
Creator” to burn the jpeg files into the CD-R, ensure
that all the selected files have the “.jpg” extensions
when copying into the CD layout.
If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please
rename them as “.jpg” files.
File names without “.jpg” extension will not be able to
be read by this DVD player. Even though the files are
shown as JPEG image files in windows explorer.
