What is MP3/JPEG?
MP3 is audio compression technology that satisfies
the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is image
compression technology.
Discs that the system can play
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/
CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/DVD-Rs/
DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs) recorded in MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and JPEG format. However,
the DATA CDs must be recorded according to ISO
9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format and DATA
DVDs of Universal Disk Format for the system to
recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play discs
recorded in Multi Session*.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-Rs/
CD-RWs or DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/
DVD+RWs drives and the recording software (not
supplied) for details on the recording format.
* About the multi-session disc: If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG
image files are recorded in the first session, the system will also
play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in other sessions. If
audio tracks and images in audio CD format or video CD
format are recorded in the first session, only the first session
will be played back.
Note
The system may not be able to play some DATA CDs/DATA
DVDs created in the Packet Write format.
MP3 audio track or JPEG image file that the
system can play
The system can play the MP3 audio tracks or JPEG
image files:
• which have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio track) or
“.JPG”/“.JPEG” (JPEG image file)
• which conform to the DCF* image file format
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image standards for
digital cameras regulated by Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association (JEITA).
Notes
• The system will play any data with the extension “.MP3,”
“.JPG,” or “.JPEG” even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG
format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which
could damage your speaker system.
• The system does not conform to audio in MP3PRO
format.
Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG
image files
The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG
image files recorded on a DATA CD/DATA DVD is
as follows:
Structure of disc contents
When you insert a DATA CD/DATA DVD and press
H
, the numbered tracks (or files) are played
sequentially, from
1
through
7
. Any sub-albums/
tracks (or files) contained within a currently selected
album take priority over the next album in the same
tree. (Example:
C
contains
D
so
4
is played before
5
.)
When you press DVD MENU and the list of album
names appears (page 62), the album names are
arranged in alphabetical order (
A
t
B
t
C
t
D
t
F
t
G
). Albums that do not contain tracks (or
files) (such as album
E
) do not appear in the list.
Tips
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the
track/file names when you store the tracks (or files) in a
disc, the tracks and files will be played in that order.
• If a disc consists of many trees, it takes longer to start
playback.
Notes
• Playback order may differ from the illustration depending
on the software you use to create the DATA CD/DATA
DVD, or if there are more than 200 albums and 300 files
in each album.
• The system can recognize up to 200 albums, and will not
play any albums beyond the 200th.
