About Media Types
The following BD-RE/R, DVD-RW/R and
DVD+RW/R discs cannot be played.
Discs on which data has not been recorded cannot be
played back.
Sharp cannot guarantee playback compatibility for all
self-recorded BD-discs because Blu-ray is a new and
evolving format. The playback compatibility will be affected
by your choice of BD-recorder, BD-disc and BD-burning
software. Please always ensure you are using the latest
software versions on all units and contact the individual
manufacturers for further help if required.
To avoid inconveniences, please check the playback
compatibility of your self-recorded disc before you
purchase this BD-player. For maximum playback
compatibility of self-recorded BD-discs Sharp recommends
that the BDMV/BDAV standards are used. If a playback
issue occurs after purchase, please download the latest
software version for your BD-player from the Sharp internet
page or ask your Sharp-Dealer.
This BD-player uses the latest technology available at the
time of development and cannot guarantee support for
future enhancements or changes to the standard.

About the JPEG file format
JPEG is a type of file format for storing still-image files
(photos, illustrations, etc.). The Player lets you play JPEG
format still-image files.
File formats that are not compatible.
Still images in formats other than JPEG (such as TIFF)
cannot be played.
There may be some files that cannot be played even if they
are in JPEG format.
Progressive JPEG files cannot be played.
Moving image files as well as Motion JPEG format files
cannot be played, even though they are JPEG files.
Other files that cannot be played back.
You may not be able to play some still images which you
have created, touched up, copied or otherwise edited on
your computer.
You may not be able to play some still images you have
processed (rotated or saved by overwriting other images
you have imported from the Internet or e-mail).
You may experience one or more of the following
symptoms when playing files.
It may take some time to play files depending on the
number of folders, number of files and volume of data
involved.
EXIF information will not be displayed. EXIF stands for
Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for
storing interchange information in image files, especially
those using JPEG compression. (Refer to http://exif.org for

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.
