39 MP3 disc playback MP3 disc playback The unit can play back MP3 files on a private CD-R/RW disc or commercial CD. We refer to a disc that contains MP3 file as an MP3 disc in this manual. Though available functions with MP3 discs are limited, operations for the available functions are similar to those with Audio CD discs. Note that, if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files, you can only play back files of either type selected by the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display.(See page 50.) About MP3 disc On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on a file. Files are sometimes grouped into a folder by artist, album, category, etc. In addition, a folder can be a member of another folder, creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a personal computer, you may easily understand the hierarchical file/folder construction of MP3 discs. This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages files and folders by Tracks and Groups in the following manners. • Each file is regarded as a Track. •A folder which has one or more files (Tracks) is regarded as a Group. •A folders folder which does not manage any file directly is ignored. • Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into Group 1. • The unit recognizes up to 150 Tracks per Group, and up to 99 Groups per disc. It ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play back them. If there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder. those files are also counted down from the total number of 150. Operations The following table shows basic functions of basic control buttons.*You can skip a Track across a Group. • If you press Á during playback, or press ª to stop playback followed by Á , the unit starts playback from the beginning of the current track. What is MP3? MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer-3, and is the part of the MPEG standard. It can store high quality stereo audio using very little space by only saving the audible sounds and discarding the sounds your ears wont pick up. A CD can store up to around 10 hours of MP3 audio, which is 10 times as much as Audio CD. NOTE Make sure that the TV - DVD switch on the remote control unit is set to DVD when using the § / ¶ / Ó / Á and numeric buttons for controlling the unit. NOTES for making a private MP3 disc using a CD-R/CD-RW disc: • Select ISO 9660 as the disc format. • Finalize the disc after completing recording. •We recommend to record a material at 44.1-kHz Fs and at the 128-kbps data transfer rate. TV DVD Group 1 Track 1 Group 2 Group 1 up to 150 Tracks per Group up to 99 Groups per disc NOTES • Some disc may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition. • Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be played back normally because of the disc configuration or characteristics determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Such symptoms may occur regardless of whether using a disc you recorded or using a commercially available disc. • The unit does not support packet write discs. • The unit does not support the ID3 tag. • If the disc is recorded with multiple sessions, the unit supports up to five sessions. •Y ou cannot playback Tracks in the desired (programmed) or random order. • The unit only can play back Tracks with any of the following file extensions; .MP3, .Mp3, .mp3 and .mP3. •T ime required for reading the disc contents differs with discs, depending on the numbers of Groups (folders) and Tracks (files) recorded, etc. • While an MP3 disc is loaded, you cannot bring up any preference display. (See page 47.) Basic operations Available : Buttons Functions Starts playback while stopped. Á Starts playback while stopped or paused. ª Stops playback. π Pauses playback.

42 JPEG disc playback English English English JPEG disc playback The unit can play back JPEG files on a private CD-R/RW disc. We refer to a disc that contains JPEG files as a JPEG disc in this manual. Note that, if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files, you can only play back files of either type selected by the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display (See page 50). About JPEG disc On an JPEG disc, each material (still picture) is recorded on a file. Files may be grouped into a folder by category, etc. In addition, a folder can be a member of another folder, creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a personal computer, you may easily understand the hierarchical file/folder construction of JPEG discs. This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages folders by Groups in the following manners. •A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a Group. •A folders folder which does not manage any file directly is ignored. • Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into Group 1. • The unit recognizes up to 150 files per Group, and up to 99 Groups per disc. It ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play back them. If there is any type of files other than JPEG files in a folder. those files are also counted down from the total number of 150. What is JPEG? JPEG is an abbreviation for the Joint Photographic Experts Group and is an image format that utilizes a compression technique. There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows. • baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, web, etc. • progressive JPEG: used for web • lossless JPEG: an old type and rarely used now The unit supports only the baseline JPEG type, therefore, it cannot display pictures of the other types (progressive and lossless). If a JPEG disc contains JPEG files of non-baseline type, the unit recognizes those files as JPEG files, the JPEG CONTROL display and the display window shows the information of the contents (filename, file number, etc.), but you cannot show the still pictures of those files (the TV screen appears only in black.) NOTE Make sure that the TV - DVD switch on the remote control unit is set to DVD when using the § / ¶ / Ó / Á , numeric buttons for controlling the unit.
