About files
For all playable files
• The system can only recognize and play files with one of
the following extensions, regardless of the letter case—
upper/lower:
MP3:
<.MP3>, <.mp3>
WMA:
<.WMA>, <.wma>
WAV:
<.WAV>, <.WAVE>, <.wav>, <.wave>
JPEG:
<.JPG>, <.JPEG>, <.jpg>, <.jpeg>
MPEG-1/MPEG-2
:
<.MPG>, <.MPEG>, <.mpg>,
<.mpeg>
ASF:
<.ASF>, <.asf>
• The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group,
99 groups per device, and the total number of the tracks
(files) that the system can play is 4 000.
• Some files may not be played back normally because of
their characteristics or recording conditions.
• Some files require a longer readout time. (It differs due to
the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)
• If different kinds of files are mixed, set the FILE TYPE
setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting
for the data to be read (“AUDIO”, “STILL PICTURE” or
“VIDEO”). (See page 30.)
For MP3/WMA/WAV files
• The system supports MP3/WMA files recorded at a bit
rate of 32 – 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz,
22.05 kHz, 24 kHz (for WMA only), 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or
48 kHz.
• If the track information (album name, artist, and track
title, etc.) is recorded, it appears in the file control display
on the TV screen. (See page 24.)
• It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA/WAV
files at the following conditions:
MP3/WMA:
At a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and bit rate of
128 kbps.
WAV:
44.1 kHz/16 bit Linear PCM.
For JPEG files
• It is recommended that you record a file at 640
x
480
resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of
more than 640
x
480, it will take a longer time to be
displayed.)
• This system can only play baseline JPEG files.
For MPEG-1/MPEG-2 files
• The stream format should conform to MPEG system/
program stream.
• 720
x
576 pixels (25 fps)/720
x
480 pixels (30 fps) is
recommended for the highest resolution.
• This system also supports the resolutions of 352
x
576/
480
x
576/352
x
288 pixels (25 fps) and 352
x
480/480
x
480/352
x
240 pixels (30 fps).
• The file format should be MP@ML (Main Profile at Main
Level)/SP@ML (Simple Profile at Main Level)/MP@LL
(Main Profile at Low Level).
• Audio streams should conform to MPEG1 Audio Layer-2
or MPEG2 Audio Layer-2.
For ASF files
• The system supports the types of the advanced simple
profile as MPEG-4 files (MPEG-4 ASF).
• The system supports MPEG-4 files with the following
conditions:
File format: ASF
Visual profile: MPEG-4 SP (Simple Profile)
Audio CODEC: G.726
Max. picture size: 352
x
288 (CIF)
Max. bit rate: 384 kbps
