z Hints
• To repeat both MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image 

files in a single album, repeat the same MP3 audio 
track or album when “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set 
to “AUTO.” See “Playing repeatedly (Repeat 
Play)” (page 32) to repeat the track or album.

• The player recognizes a maximum of 200 albums 

regardless of the selected mode. Of each album, 
the player recognizes up to 300 MP3 audio tracks 
and 300 JPEG image files when “AUTO” is 
selected, 600 MP3 audio tracks when “AUDIO 
(MP3)” is selected, 600 JPEG image files when 
“IMAGE (JPEG)” is selected.

• This function does not work if the MP3 audio 

tracks and JPEG image files are not placed in the 
same album.

• If playing time of JPEG image or MP3 audio is 

longer than the other, the longer one continues 
without sound or image.

• If you play large MP3 track data and JPEG image 

data at the same time, the sound may skip. It is 
recommended that you set the MP3 bit rate to 128 
kbps or lower when creating the file. If the sound 
still skips, then reduce the size of the JPEG file.

You can set the time the slides are displayed 
on the screen.

The Control Menu appears.

The options for “INTERVAL” appear.

X/x to select a setting.

The default setting is underlined.
• NORMAL: sets the duration to between 

6 to 9 seconds.

• FAST: sets a duration shorter than 

NORMAL.

• SLOW 1: sets a duration longer than 

NORMAL.

• SLOW 2: sets a duration longer than 

SLOW 1.

Some JPEG files, especially progressive JPEG files 
or JPEG files of 3,000,000 pixels or more, may take 
longer to display than others, which may make the 
duration seem longer than the setting you selected.

DivX

®

 is a video file compression 

technology, developed by DivXNetworks, 
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 (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/
CD-RWs) and DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/
DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs) 
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.

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 50).

• 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 
(CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) and DATA 
DVDs (DVD-ROMs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/
DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs).

z Hint
You can view the disc information while playing a 
DivX video file (page 38).

• 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 

H (play) for the picture to appear.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the sound may 

not match the pictures on the screen.

A list of albums on the disc appears. Only 
albums that contain DivX video files are 
listed.
