Notes on playing MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG
This unit can play MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3)/
WMA/JPEG/MPEG (MPEG 1/MPEG 2). Note, however,
that the MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG recording media
and formats acceptable are limited. When writing
MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG, pay attention to the
following restrictions.
Acceptable media
The MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG recording media acceptable to
this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW,DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/
RW.
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent
malfunction.
Acceptable medium formats
The following formats are available for the media used in this
unit. The maximum number of characters used for file name
including the delimiter (".") and three-character extension are
indicated in parentheses.
• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)
• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)
• Joliet (64 characters)
• Romeo (128 characters)
Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name
format. For a list of available characters, see the instruction
manual of the writing software and the section Entering file
and folder names below.
The media reproducible on this unit has the following
limitations:
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255
• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 200
• Maximum number of folders: 254
MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG written in the formats other than the
above may not be successfully played and their file names or
folder names are not properly displayed.

and CD/DVD writer
Do the following setting when compressing audio data in
MP3/WMA data with the MP3/WMA encoder.
MP3/WMA
• Transfer bit rate: MP3: 32 —320 kbps
WMA: 48 —192 kbps
• Sampling frequency: MP3: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
WMA: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
Do the following setting when compressing video/audio data
in JPEG/MPEG data with the JPEG/MPEG encoder.
JPEG
• Picture size: Baseline format: 5,120 (W) x 3,840 (H) pixels
(Maximum size)
*

MPEG
• Video format: MPEG1, MPEG2
• Picture size: MPEG1: 320x240, 352x240 (NTSC), 352x288 (PAL)
MPEG2: 720x480 (NTSC), 720x576 (PAL)
• Audio format: MPEG1 Audio Layer2
• Transfer bit rate: 32—384 kbps CBR
• Sampling frequency: 32, 44.1,48 kHz
When you use your CD/DVD writer to record MP3/WMA/JPEG/
MPEG up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional
writing. For recording on an empty disc up to the maximum
capacity at once, check Disc at Once.
• Play mode may not be possible when portions of the functions
of Windows Media Player 9 or higher are used.
• *
1
A part of picture will not be displayed if the size of a picture
exceeds maximum.
• *
2
A picture will not be displayed if the size of a picture exceeds
maximum.
• When you write for MPEG 2 data, please be sure to use DVD
media.
• When you write data in DVD media, please be sure to set a setup
of a DVD writer to
"Disc at once".
Entering ID3 tag
The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version 1.x.
For the character code, refer to the List of Codes.
Entering file and folder names
You can use only characters shown on the code table for file
name and folder name.
If you use any other character for entry, the file and folder
names are not displayed correctly. They may neither be
displayed correctly depending on the CD/DVD writer used.
The MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG file must have the MP3/WMA/
JPEG/MPEG extension (.mp3/.wma/.jpg/.mpg).
• A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list
may not play correctly.
Writing files into a medium
When a medium containing MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG data is
loaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium. If the
medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3/WMA/JPEG/
MPEG files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts
playing MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG.
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next
MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG file or a File Search or Folder Search
may not be performed smoothly.
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the
speakers.
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3/WMA/
JPEG/MPEG file with the MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG extension.
The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG files for MP3/
WMA/JPEG/MPEG data as long as they have the MP3/WMA/
JPEG/MPEG extension.
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3/WMA/
JPEG/MPEG.
