Hints
• 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.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create
albums with no more than two trees.

Notes
• The recorder will play any data with the extension
“.mp3,” “.jpeg,” “.jpg,” “.avi,” or “.divx” even if
they are not in MP3, JPEG, or DivX format.
Playing these data may generate a loud noise
which could damage your speaker system.
• Albums, tracks, or files containing characters
such as ” * / : < > ? ¥ | \ cannot be displayed or
played.
• The recorder does not conform to audio tracks in
mp3PRO format.
• The recorder may not play a DivX video file
when the file has been combined from two or
more DivX video files.
• Depending on the disc, normal playback may not
be possible. For example, the picture may be
unclear, playback may not appear smooth, the
sound may skip, and so on.
• Depending on the disc, playback may take some
time to start.
• Some files cannot be played.
• For MP3 audio tracks, JPEG image files, or DivX
video files each, the recorder can play up to 200
albums on a DATA CD or DATA DVD. Up to
200 tracks and files under an album can be
played. In total, no more than 9999 tracks and
files in a disc can be played.
• Proceeding to the next or another album may take
some time.
• This recorder supports MP3 audio bit rates up to
320 kbps.
• No more than a 4 GB MP3 audio track or no more
than a 50 MB JPEG image file can be played.
• The recorder cannot play a DivX video file of size
more than 720 (width) × 576 (height)/4 GB.
Notes on copying JPEG image files/MP3
audio tracks
• You cannot copy JPEG image files/MP3
audio tracks to the HDD if:
– The total space used by JPEG image files/
MP3 audio tracks in the HDD equals 13
GB, or will exceed 13 GB after the file is
copied.
The space set aside in the HDD for JPEG
image files/MP3 audio tracks is limited to
13 GB. You cannot save JPEG image
files/MP3 audio tracks over that capacity
even if there is space for video recording.
– The total number of JPEG image albums/
MP3 audio track albums on the HDD
equals 200.
– The total number of JPEG image albums
on the HDD equals 100.
– The total number of MP3 audio track
albums on the HDD equals 200.
– The total number of JPEG image files/
MP3 audio tracks under an album equals
200.
– The MP3 audio tracks are 200MB or
larger.
– The JPEG image files are 50MB or larger.
• If 3,000 MP3 audio tracks are stored on the
HDD, up to 2,500 JPEG image files can be
copied.
• MP3 audio tracks cannot be copied if 4,000
JPEG image files are stored on the HDD.
• Note that the size of JPEG image files
copied to the HDD may be automatically
increased to fit the TV screen.
• You cannot copy JPEG image files onto a
DATA DVD finalised on other recorders or
devices.
• If a warning message indicating that the
HDD is full appears, erase several albums
or files to make space. For details on
erasing files, see page 98 or 124.
