Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R/CD-RW)
DVD-R (DVD-Video)/DVD-RW (DVD-Video) [DVD-V] Discs recorded and finalized on DVD video recorders or DVD video cameras iR (Video)/iRW (Video) [DVD-V] Discs recorded and finalized on DVD video recorders or DVD video cameras Video CD [VCD] Including SVCD (Conforming to IEC62107)
CD [CD] [WMA] [MP3] [JPEG] [VCD] This unit can play CD-R/RW recorded with the above formats. Close the sessions or finalize the disc after recording. [WMA] [MP3] [JPEG] This unit also plays HighMAT discs.
A process that allows play on compatible equipment. It may not be possible to play the above discs in all cases due to the type of disc or condition of the recording.
Discs that cannot be played
DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CDV, CD-G, SACD, Divx Video Discs and Photo CD, DVD-RAM that cannot be removed from their cartridge, 2.6-GB and 5.2-GB DVD-RAM, and Chaoji VCD available on the market including CVD, DVCD and SVCD that do not conform to IEC62107.
Note about using a DualDisc
The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA) format so play may not be possible.
Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats). This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this. If groups were created away from the root like 002 group in the illustration below, the eighth one onwards is displayed on the same vertical line in the menu screen. There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen and computer screen. This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write. Naming folders and files e.g. [MP3] (Files are treated as content and folders are treated as root 001 group groups on this unit.) At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names. This 001 should be with numbers that have an equal number of digits, 001 track.mptrack.mp3 and should be done in the order you want to play them (this 003 track.mp3 may not work at times). 002 group Files must have the extension:.WMA or.wma 001 track.mptrack.mpgroup.MP3 or.mptrack.mptrack.mp3.JPG,.jpg,.JPEG or.jpeg [WMA] 001 track.mptrack.mp3 You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected. 003 track.mp3 This unit is not compatible with Multiple Bit Rate (MBR: a file that contains the same content encoded at several different bit rates). [MP3] This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags. Compatible sampling rate: 8, 11.02, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz [JPEG] JPEG files taken on a digital camera that conforms to the DCF Standard Version 1.0 are displayed. Pictures taken using digital camera functions not supported by DCF like automatic picture rotation may not be displayed. Files that have been altered, edited or saved with computer picture editing software may not be displayed. This unit cannot display moving pictures, MOTION JPEG and other such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (e.g. TIFF) or play pictures with attached audio.
