MP3 is audio compression technology 
that satisfies the ISO/IEC MPEG 
regulations. JPEG is image compression 
technology.
You can play DATA CDs/DATA DVDs 
that contain MP3 audio tracks or JPEG 
image files.

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-
ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA 
DVDs (DVD-ROMs/DVD+RWs/
DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs) 
recorded in MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 
III) and JPEG format.
However, this player only plays DATA 
CDs whose logical format is ISO 9660 
Level 1 or Joliet, and DATA DVDs of 
Universal Disk Format (UDF).
Refer to the instructions supplied with 
the disc drives and the recording 
software (not supplied) for details on the 
recording format.

The player may not be able to play some 
DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in the 
Packet Write format or multiple sessions.

The player can play the following tracks 
and files:
• MP3 audio tracks with the extension 

“.MP3.”

• JPEG image files with the extension 

“.JPEG” or “.JPG.”

• JPEG image files that conform to the 

DCF* image file format.

* “Design rule for Camera File system”: 

Image standards for digital cameras 
regulated by JEITA (Japan Electronics and 
Information Technology Industries 
Association).

• Change the extension to “.jpg,” for files 

with “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extension.

• The  player will play any data with the 

extension “.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” 
even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. 
Playing this data may generate a loud noise 
which could damage your speaker system.

• The player does not conform to audio tracks 

in mp3PRO format.

• Some JPEG files cannot be played.
• The  player can display a file or track name 

up to 14 characters. Any characters after the 
14th character do not appear on the screen.

• Characters that are not displayable appear as 

“*.”

• Depending on the disc, a file or track name 

that is not displayable appears as “*.”

• You cannot display correctly the CD-R/CD-

RW file names written in the UDF file 
system.

• When playing an MP3 audio track recorded 

in VBR mode, you cannot display the bit 
rate correctly.

Tracks and files within an album play in 
the order of the recorded media (CD-R 
etc.).

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

• The player can recognize up to 299 albums 

(including albums that do not contain MP3 
audio tracks and JPEG image files). The 
player will not play any albums beyond the 
299th album.

• The player can recognize a combined total 

of up to 648 files, tracks, and albums. The 
player will not play beyond the 648th file, 
track or album.

• Depending on the writing condition of the 

disc, the total number of files, tracks, and 
albums recognizable may be fewer than 
648.

• The Album List displays only the currently 

playing album name. Any album located on 
the upper layer is displayed as “\..\.”
