Notes on MP3 Files About MP3 An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the “.mp3”file extension “MP3 files”. The DVD Receiver can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”. MP3 Disc compatibility with this DVD Receiver is limited as follows: Sampling Frequency : only at 44.1kHz Bit rate : within 32 - 320kbps CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660” If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, it is impossible to playback MP3 files. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate “.mp3”extension e.g.“********.mp3”. Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ”etc. Total number of files on the disc should be less than 650. This DVD Receiver requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback. Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Files Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG files, it could take a long time for the DVD Receiver to read the disc’s contents. If you don’t see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of the files are too big — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 2 mega pixels and burn another disc. Total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 650. Some disc may be incompatible due to different recording format or condition of disc. When you are using software to burn the jpeg files into the CD-R, ensure that all the selected files have the “.jpg”extensions when copying into the CD layout. If the files have “.jpe”or “.jpeg”extensions, please rename them as “.jpg”files. File names without “.jpg”extension will not be able to be read by this DVD Receiver, even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in windows explorer.
