What is MP3/JPEG?
MP3 is audio compression technology that 
satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is 
image compression technology.
Discs that the system can 
play
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-
Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio 
Layer 3) and JPEG format. However, the discs 
must be recorded according to ISO 9660 Level 
1, Level 2 or Joliet format for the system to 
recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play 
discs recorded in Multi Session.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/
CD-RW drives and the recording software (not 
supplied) for details on the recording format.
About the multi-session disc
If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are 
recorded in the first session, the system will also 
play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in 
other sessions. If audio tracks and images in 
audio CD format or video CD format are 
recorded in the first session, only the first 
session will be played back.
 The system may not be able to play some DATA CDs 
created in the Packet Write format. In this case, you 
cannot view the JPEG images recorded.
MP3 audio track or JPEG 
image file that the system can 
play
The system can play the MP3 audio tracks or 
JPEG image files:
 which have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio 
track) or “.JPG”/“.JPEG” (JPEG image file)
 which conform to the DCF* image file format

* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image 
standards for digital cameras regulated by Japan 
Electronics and Information Technology Industries 
Association (JEITA).
 The system 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 system does not conform to audio in 
MP3PRO format.
Playback order of MP3 audio 
tracks or JPEG image files
The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or 
JP EG image files recorded on a D ATA CD  is as 
follows:
xStructure of disc contents
When you insert a DATA CD and press H, the 
numbered tracks (or files) are played 
sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-
albums/tracks (or files) contained within a currently selected album take priority over the 
next album in the same tree. (Example: C 
contains D so 4 is played before 5.)
When you press MENU and the list of album 
names appears (page 36), the album names are 
arranged in the following order:
A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums 
that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as 
album E) do not appear in the list.
 If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the 
track/file names when you store the tracks (or files) in 
a disc, the tracks and files will be played in that order.
 A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback.
 Depending on the software you use to create the 
DATA CD, the playback order may differ from the 
illustration.
 The playback order above may not be applicable if 
there are more than 200 albums and 300 files in each 
album.
 The system can recognize up to 200 albums (the 
system will count just albums, including albums that 
do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image 
files). The system will not play any albums beyond 
the 200th album.
 The system may take longer time to playback, when 
progressing to the following album or jump to other 
album.
 Some type of JPEG files cannot be played.
