Playing MP3/WMA discs

The RDV-03 can play MP3 or WMA, from 
most CD-R and CD-RW discs. These discs, 
often recorded on computer drives, have a 
file structure similar to computer discs, with 
files stored in folders.

Here are few tips when recording your own 
discs:

•  Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.

•  Record MP3 files at a 44.1 kHz sampling 

rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate. 
Files must have an .MP3 file extension.

•  Record WMA files with the copyright 

feature off with a bit rate of 64 kbps or 
higher. Files recorded at less than 48 
kpbs cannot be played. Files must have 
a .WMA file extension.

•  The player does not support “packet writ-

ing (UDF file)” discs.

•  The player does not support the ID3 tag 

and WMA tag.

•  The player supports discs recorded with 

multiple sessions.

•  Some discs may not play due to disc char-

acteristics or recording conditions.

Selecting files for playback and other features 
are made using a special Control menu.

Control Menu       

Whenever a disc containing MP3, MPEG or 
JPEG files is inserted in the RDV-03 or when 
the PLAY   button is pressed, the CONTROL 
menu appears.

On the left side of the menu is a list of 

Groups

 

on the disc. When a 

Group

 is selected, the 

list of 

Tracks

 in that folder is displayed down 

the right side of the screen. 

To move between the two sides of the screen

not available on MP3/WMA discs.

Direct Selection of  

Groups and Tracks

Track

 

in the 

Group

.

4.  Select a 

Track

 within the current 

Group

 

by entering the 

Track

 number without first

Repeat Play         

When playing an MP3/WMA disc, you can 
repeat a single 

Track

, all the 

Tracks

 in the cur-

rent 

Group

, or all of the 

Tracks

 on the disc.

To begin Repeat Play: 

Press the REPEAT 

button on the remote control. Each press of 
the button advances to the next REPEAT mode 
as follows:

TRACK 

➪ 

GROUP 

➪ 

DISC

 ➪ 

OFF

The repeat indicator 

 appears in the front 

panel display in the two REPEAT ALL mode and 

 appears in the REPEAT TRACK mode. In 

addition, the Control Menu shows the current 
repeat mode on the TV screen.

the ENT button to confirm the change.

Playing JPEG discs

The RDV-03 can display JPEG files from most 
CD-R and CD-RW discs. These discs, often 
recorded on computer drives, have a file 
structure similar to computer discs, with files 
stored in folders. Here are few tips when 
creating your own discs:

•  Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.

•  Save your files in the baseline JPEG format 

with a .JPG extension.

•  We recommend sizing your images at 

640 x 480 pixels. Larger images take 
longer to display. The maximum horizon-
tal resolution is 2400 pixels.

•  The player does not support “packet writ-

ing (UDF file)” discs.

•  The player supports discs recorded with 

multiple sessions.

•  Some discs may not play due to disc char-

acteristics or recording conditions.

Selecting images for display is done using a 
special Control menu.
