PLAYABLE DISCS
CD-R and CD-RW disc containing video files in
MPEG 4 format, with stereo audio output only .
As for CD-R MPEG 4 discs, please follow all the
recommendations for CD-R above, along with the
comments below:
•
Your MPEG 4 files should be ISO format without
QPEL.
•
When naming your MPEG 4 files do not exceed 8
characters, and place “.avi” as the file extension.
General name format of: Title.avi. When
composing your title, make sure that you use 8
characters or less, have no spaces in the name,
and avoid the use of special characters including:
(.,/,\,=,+).
Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken
as a guarantee that the DVD player will play MPEG 4
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You
should note that certain technologies and methods for
MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of
these files on your DVD player (degraded sound quality
and in some cases, inability of the player to read the
files).
Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment
or the CD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW or DVD-R RW disc itself,
some discs can not be played on the unit.
MPEG 4 Files
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. JPEG is a
compressed image file format. Your player can play
JPEG files with a resolution of up to five million (5
mega) pixels. However, there is no perceptible
improvement in the quality of pictures displayed on
your TV screen beyond 400,000 pixels.
Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files,
cannot be read by this player.
Note: Display time will vary according to the file size
and number of pixels of JPEG files.
JPEG Files
WMA Files
CD-R with WMA files. Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
another compressed audio file format that is similar to
MP3. WMA files can also be grouped in folders or
albums as MP3 files.
•
When naming your WMA files do not exceed 8
characters, and place “.wma” as the file extension.
General name format of: Title.wma. When
composing your title, make sure that you use 8
characters or less, have no spaces in the name,
and avoid the use of special characters including:
(.,/,\,=,+).
•
Use a decompression transfer rate of at least
64Kbps when recording WMA files. Sound quality
with WMA files basically depends on the rate of
compression/decompression you choose. Getting
audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital
sampling rate, that is conversion to WMA format,
of at least 64Kbps and up to 192Kbps. Conversely,
files with decompression rates below 64Kbps or
over 192Kbps will not be played properly.
•
Supported Format: WMA 7.0, WMA 8.0, WMA
9.0.
