MP3 / JPEG / DivX
®
and Audio CD information
This unit can play MP3, JPEG, and DivX
®
files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. To create the MP3 / JPEG /
DivX
®
disc, you need a Windows PC with a CD-RW drive and a file encoding software. You must use a Windows
PC to create the MP3 / JPEG / DivX
®
disc.
Important:
• The DVD player in the unit requires discs/recordings that meet certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R discs
containing MP3 files). Not all recordable discs will produce optimal playback quality. The technical criteria set
forth in this owner’s manual are meant only as a guide. Use of CD-RW discs for recording MP3 files is not
recommended.
• You must obtain any required permission from copyright owners to download or use copyrighted content.
Toshiba can not and does not grant such permission

CD playback reminders
• Make sure the filename of the MP3, JPEG, and DivX
®
files in the CD includes the 3-character file extension
(“mp3”, “jpg”, “div”, “divx”, and “avi”) to make it compliant with the ISO 9660 standard.
• This unit can read 2000 files per disc. If a disc has more than 2000 files, it reads the first 2000 files. The
remaining files will be omitted.
• To play the files in sequence based on the recorded order:
– Use an encoding software that records data alphabetically or numerically.
– Include a two- or three-digit number prefix on the filename (ex. “01” “02” or “001” “002”).
– Refrain from making too many sub-folders.
• It may take more than one minute for this unit to read MP3, JPEG, and DivX
®
files depending on the disc
structure.
• Music recorded based on the “Joliet Recording Specification” can be played back.
• This unit does not support data disc burned using the Apple Mac OS (Hierarchical File System, HFS format).
• MP3 / JPEG / DivX
®
CDs cannot be used for recording purpose.
Filename display reminders
• The maximum number of characters for filename display is 15.
• Only the following characters will be displayed: A through Z (both upper and lower case), 0 through 9, and the
underscore symbol (_).
• Non-supported characters will be replaced with a hyphen (-).
