About the MP3 file format
MP3 files are audio data compressed in the
MPEG1/2 Audio layer-3 file format. “MP3 files” have
“.mp3” as extensions. (Some files that have “.mp3”
extensions or files that have not been recorded in
MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be played.)
Playing the MP3 file format
• The MP3 files are not played in the order they were
recorded.
• It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as
data recorded at a fast speed can produce noise and
may not be able to be played.
• The more folders there are, the longer the reading time.
• Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take
time.
• The playing time may not be correctly displayed during
MP3 file playback.
The following files cannot be played on this
player.
• When both Audio CD [CD-DA] format and JPEG/
MP3 file formats are recorded on a disc. (The disc is
recognised to be an Audio CD [CD-DA] only tracks in
Audio CD [CD-DA] format are played back.)
• Multi-session discs cannot be played.

About the DivX+HD (H.264/MKV) file
