The JBL DSC 500 DVD is rare among
DVD players in that it  is able to
playback discs recorded with MP3
files. This means that you may enjoy
the latest music using discs created
in your computer through the high
quality audio components in your
home theater system. As the way that
MP3 files are recorded on discs
differs from the way conventional CD
audio discs are structured, MP3
playback is somewhat different from
standard CDs.

Important Note on MP3 Playback
MP3 discs may contain 200 tracks or
even more. For the best overview of
all the titles on the disc and for
convenient track selection, use the
on-screen-display rather than the
front panel display. The front panel
display will only show the number
and elapsed time of the track being
played.

MP3 Disc Playback
After an MP3 disc was entered and
the tray closed, the JBL DSC 500 DVD
will read the table of content (TOC)
and then show the total number of
titles on the disc and "STOP" on the
front panel display. At the same time,
a listing of all the directories appear
on the screen (if the disc contains
several directories), see figure 1
below. With discs without directories,
a listing of up to 12 tracks on the disc
will appear on the screen as shown
in fig. 2 below, showing the names (ID
tags) of all tracks currently listed.

Figure 1.

Figure 2.

To select a track, press the
D/E/ /  arrow buttons until the
desired track name is highlighted
(possible in stop mode only). You
must scroll through the list to see
additional titles. If you know the
number of the title you wish to play,
you can select the title directly by
entering its number with the numeric
buttons on the remote (possible in
play mode, too). With discs with
several directories, first select the
appropriate directory and then enter
the corresponding title list by
pressing OK (in stop mode only). 

To start the track selected on the list
press OK, in Stop mode you also can
press PLAY.

During MP3 playback, some of the
standard CD/DVD playback controls
operate in their normal fashion:

• You may skip forward to the next

track on the disc by pressing the 
 button.

• You may skip back to the previous

track on the disc by pressing the 
 button.

• Press the PAUSE button to

momentarily stop playback. Press
PLAY to resume play.

Note that the Search Forward/
Reverse buttons 

/ will have no

function with MP3 playback.

NOTES ON MP3 PLAYBACK
• During MP3 playback, the front

panel display and the time indicator
on the screen on top of the list will
show the number and the elapsed
time of the track being played (on
the screen only when selected with
the DISPLAY button). Other time
display options are not available
with MP3 playback.

compatible with standard MP3-
