DivX

®

 is a video file compression 

technology, developed by DivX, Inc. This 
product is an official DivX

®

 Certified 

product.
You can play DATA CDs and DATA DVDs 
that contain DivX video files.

Playback of DATA CDs and DATA DVDs 
on this player is subject to certain conditions:
– With DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that 

contain DivX video files in addition to MP3 
audio tracks or JPEG image files, the player 
plays only the DivX video files.

However, this player only plays DATA CDs 
whose logical format is ISO 9660 Level 1/
Level 2 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.

About playback order of data on DATA CDs 
or DATA DVDs
See “About playback order of albums, tracks, 
and files” (page 50). Note that the playback 
order may not be applicable, depending on 
the software used for creating the DivX video 
file, or if there are more than 200 albums and 
600 DivX video files in each album.

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

The player can play data that is recorded in 
DivX format, and which has the extension 
“.AVI” or “.DIVX.” The player will not play 
files with the extension “.AVI” or “.DIVX”  if 
they do not contain a DivX video.

z Hint
For details about playable MP3 audio tracks or 
JPEG image files on DATA CDs/DATA DVDs, see 
“DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that the player can 
play”  (page 49).

• The player may not play a DivX video file when 

the file has been combined from two or more 
DivX video files.

• The player cannot play a DivX video file of size 

more than 720 (width) 

× 576 (height)/2 GB.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture 

may be unclear or the sound may skip.

• The player cannot play some DivX video files that 

are longer than 3 hours.

You can play DivX video files on DATA CDs 
and DATA DVDs.

z Hints
• You can view the disc information while playing 

a DivX video file (page 26).

• The player plays DivX video file either in PAL or 

NTSC colour system according to the current 
setting.

• If there are no DivX video files recorded on the 

DATA CD/DATA DVD, a message appears to 
indicate that the disc is not playable.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture 

may pause or be unclear. In which case, it is 
recommended that you create the file at a lower 
bit rate. If the sound is still noisy, MP3 is the 
recommended audio format. Note, however, this 
player does not conform to WMA (Windows 
Media Audio) format.

• Because of the compression technology used for 

DivX video files, it may take some time after you 
press
