About DivX Video Files
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.
DATA CDs and DATA DVDs that 
the system can play
Playback of DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/
CD-RWs) and DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/
DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs) on 
this system 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 system plays 
only the DivX video files.
However, this system 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 “Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or 
JPEG image files” (page 48). 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.
Note The system may not be able to play some DATA 
CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write 
format.
DivX video files that the system 
can play
The system can play data that is recorded in 
DivX format, and which has the extension 
“.AVI,” or “.DIVX.” The system will not play files with the extension “.AVI” or “.DIVX” if 
they do not contain a DivX video.
Tip For details about playable MP3 audio tracks or JPEG 
image files on DATA CDs or DATA DVDs, see 
“Discs that the system can play” (page 47).
Note The system may not play a DivX video file when the 
file has been combined from two or more DivX video 
files.
 The system cannot play a DivX video file of size 
more than 720 (width) × 576 (height) or 2GB.
 Depending on the DivX video file, sound may skip or 
not match the pictures on the screen.
 The system cannot play some DivX video files that 
are longer than 3 hours.
 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 system 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 for the picture to appear.

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