DVD Video regions
All DVD Video discs carry a region mark
on the case somewhere that indicates
which region(s) of the world the disc is
compatible with. Your DVD player also has
a region mark, which you can find on the
rear panel. Discs from incompatible
regions will not play in this player. Discs
marked
ALL
will play in any player.
MP3 compatibility information
• The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.
• Files should be MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 format,
44.1 or 48kHz. Incompatible files will not play
and “UNPLAYABLE MP3 FORMAT” will be
displayed.
• Not compatible with some variable bit-rate (VBR)
files.
• VBR files may not show play times correctly.
• This player only plays tracks that are named with
the file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.
• This player is not compatible with multi-session
discs. If you try and play a multi-session disc,
only the first session will be played.
• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your
MP3 files. The disc must be finalized in order to
play.
• Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close
to regular audio CD quality. Although this player
will play lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, the sound
quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-
rates.
• Only the first 8 characters of folder and track
names (excluding the “.mp3” extension) are
displayed.
• This player can recognize a maximum of 250
folders and 250 tracks. Discs containing more
than 250 folders or tracks will play, but only the
first 250 folders/tracks.
Caution!
• DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using
a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder
may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if
there is dirt or condensation on the player’s
lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer,
even if it is recorded in a compatible format,
there are cases in which it may not play because
of the settings of the application software used
to create the disc. (Check with the software
publisher for more detailed information.)
• Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played.
• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs can be played, but
not all time information (playing time, etc.) will
be displayed.
• For more information on using DVD-R/RW and
CD-R/RW discs, see
