This system stores the point where you stopped 
the disc for up to 40 discs and resumes playback 
the next time you insert the same disc. If you 
store a resume playback point for the 41st disc, 
the resume playback point for the first disc is 
deleted.
To activate this function, set [MULTI-DISC 
RESUME] in [CUSTOM SETUP] to [ON]. For 
details, see “[MULTI-DISC RESUME] (DVD 
VIDEO/VIDEO CD only)” (page 85).
 If [MULTI-DISC RESUME] in [CUSTOM SETUP] 
is set to [OFF] (page 85), the resume point is cleared 
when you change the function by pressing 
FUNCTION.
 The point where you stopped playing may be cleared 
when:

a long period of time.
 For DVD-RWs in VR mode, CDs, Super Audio CDs, 
DATA CDs, and DATA DVDs the system 
remembers the resume playback point for the current 
disc. The resume point is cleared when:
– you eject the disc.
– the system enters standby mode (DATA CD/
DATA DVD only).
 Resume Play does not work during Program Play and 
Shuffle Play.
 This function may not work with some discs.
 Depending on where you stop the disc, the system 
may not resume playback from exactly the same 
point.
 If [MULTI-DISC RESUME] in [CUSTOM SETUP] 
is set to [ON] (page 85) and you playback a recorded 
disc such as DVD-RW, the system may playback 
other recorded discs from the same resume point.
 To play from the beginning of the disc, press x twice,

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. 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 
JPEG image files recorded on a DATA 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 48), the album names are 
arranged in alphabetical 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.
 If a disc consists of many trees, it takes longer to start 
playback.
 Playback order may differ from the illustration 
depending on the software you use to create the 
DATA CD, or if there are more than 200 albums and 
300 files in each album.
  The system can recognize up to 200 albums, and will 
not play any albums beyond the 200th.
 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.
MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files 
recorded on DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/
CD-RWs) can be played on this system.
