This system can also play back the following discs:
• Finalized DVD-R/RW discs recorded in the DVD
VIDEO format.
• CD-R/RW discs recorded in the following formats
- Music CDs (finalized discs)
- VCDs
- SVCDs
- MP3/JPEG discs recorded in ISO 9660 (for details, refer
to "About MP3/JPEG discs ")
However, some discs may not be played back because of
their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or
damage or stain on them.
Only sounds can be played back from the following discs:

": Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVD VIDEOs have their own Region
Code numbers. This system can only play back a DVD
VIDEO recorded with the Region Code number and
video format mentioned above.
Examples: @@
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper Region Code
number is loaded, "REGION CODE ERROR!" appears
on the TV screen and playback cannot start.
•On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VODs or SVCDs,
their actual operation may be different from what is
explained in this manual. This is due to the disc
programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of
this system.
Discs that cannot be played back
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (recorded in VR
format), CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD,
SACD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and
damage the speakers.
Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary shape
(other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm (43/4 inches or 31/8
inches) in diameter) cannot be played back.
About MP3/JPEG discs
Playable MP3/JPEG discs and files
• Discs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable
(except discs recorded in the "packet write" format
(UDF format)).
• Discs recorded in the multi-session format are also
playable.
• Files with an extension of ".mp3," ".jpg" or ".jpeg"
(extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters
mixed are also acceptable) are playable.
Notes on MP3/JPEG discs and files
• A disc may not be played, or reading it may take a long
time depending on its recording conditions or
properties.
• The time needed for reading varies with the number of
groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.
• If a character other than single byte English characters
is used in the file name of an MP3/JPEG file, the track/
file name will not be displayed correctly.
• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3
Control screen, and the order of files/groups displayed
on the JPEG Control screen may be different from that
of files/folders displayed on PC's monitor screen.
• In the case of MP3 discs, since groups/tracks are
played in alphabetical order, an off-the-shelf MP3 disc
may be played in an order different from that indicated
on the label attached to the disc.
• Playing an MP3 file including a still image may take a
long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until
playing starts. If playing starts, the elapsed time may
not be displayed correctly.
• This system does not handle the ID3 tag of the MP3
file.
• For an MP3 file, a disc with a sampling frequency of
44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is
recommended.
• This system can play a baseline JPEG file, excluding
monochromatic JPEG files.
• This system can play JPEG data taken with a digital
camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for
Camera File System) standard (when a function is
applied such as the automatic rotation function of a
digital camera, data goes beyond the DCF standard,
so the image may not be displayed).
• If data has been processed, edited and restored with
PC image editing software, the data may not be
displayed.
• This system cannot play animations such as MOTION
JPEG, or still images (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, and
image data with sound.
• The resolution of 640 x 480 is recommended for JPEG
files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more
than 640 x 480, display may take a long time. An
image with a horizontal resolution of more than 2,400
pixels cannot be displayed.

About discs (continued)
DVD VIDEO
A DVD VIDEO consists of "titles" and each title
may be divided into "chapters".

DVD AUDIO
A DVD AUDIO consists of "groups" and each group
may be divided into "tracks".
Some discs include a "bonus group" that requires a
password for playing (. - page 27).
< Group 1 _ _ Group 2 ._
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 1 Track 2
VCD/SVCD/CD
VCD, SVCD and CD consist of "tracks".
In general, each track has its own track number.
(On some discs, each track may also be further
divided by indexes.)
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5
MP3 [JPEG] discs
On an MP3 [JPEG] disc, each still picture
(material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks [Files[
are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also
include other folders, creating hierarchical folder
layers.
This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of
a disc and manages folders by "groups"
I_ Up to 99 groups

L Up to 150files
This unit can recognize up to 150 tracks [files[ per
group and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850
files in total). Since the unit ignores the tracks
[files] whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the
groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they
cannot be played back.
•Ifthere isany type of files other than MP3 [JPEG]
files in a folder, those files are also counted in the
total file number.
