Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD or DATA DVD, the playback order may differ from the illustration above. The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than 200 albums and 300 files in each album. The system can recognize up to 200 albums including albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files. The system will not play back any albums beyond the 200th album. The maximum number of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files on an album which this system can recognize is: 600 when MODE (MP3, JPEG) is set to AUDIO (MP3) or IMAGE (JPEG). 300 when MODE (MP3, JPEG) is set to AUTO. The system may take a longer time to start playback, when the tracks or files in another album has just been played back. An album that does not contain an MP3 audio track or JPEG image file is skipped. The system will play back 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 support MP3PRO format. The system can only play back MP3 audio tracks in MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 format. Depending on the encoding/writing software, recording device, or the recording media used to record an MP3 audio track, you may encounter problems such as cannot play back, sound interruptions and noise. The following discs take a longer time to start playback: a disc recorded with complicated tree structure. a disc recorded in Multi Session. a disc to which data can be added (non finalized disc). Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs/DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/ DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs cannot be played back on the system depending on the file format.
When playing a DATA CD (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/ CD-RWs) or DATA DVD (DVD-ROMs/DVD-Rs/ DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs) containing both MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files, select MODE (MP3, JPEG) from the Control Menu after the discs TOC reading is complete. If you want to play back both MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files, set MODE (MP3, JPEG) to AUTO. MP3 audio tracks only, set MODE (MP3, JPEG) to AUDIO (MP3). JPEG image files only, set MODE (MP3, JPEG) to IMAGE (JPEG). The system can play back to a depth of 8 folders only.
If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track or file names when you store the tracks or files in a disc, the tracks and files will be played back in that order. Since a disc with many trees takes a longer time to start playback, it is recommended that you create albums with no more than two trees.

If there are more than 16 image files in the selected album, the scroll bar appears at the right. Press v repeatedly until the bottom row of the thumbnail picture. Then, press v. The TV screen will show the thumbnail picture of the next 16 image files. To return to the thumbnail picture of the previous 16 image files, press V repeatedly until the top row of the thumbnail picture. Then, press V.
2 Press V/v/B/b to select the image you
want to view, then press H (or nN on the unit). The slide show starts from the selected image file.
Press CLEAR to return to the original view.
To display the next or previous page of album list
Press B or b repeatedly when the album list is displayed.
To display the next or previous JPEG image file
Press B or b repeatedly during the slide show.
When you press B or b to select the next or previous image, the image will return to its original view even if you have rotated the image previously. The slide show stops when you press V or v. You can view the file information while playing JPEG image files (page 70). You can select Repeat Play while playing JPEG image files (page 22).
You can also change the slide show speed (page 30) and effect (page 30) while playing JPEG image files.
Playing MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files as a slide show with sound
You can play back a slide show with sound by first placing both JPEG image files and MP3 audio tracks in the same album on a DATA CD or DATA DVD.
Press V or v repeatedly to select the album you want, then press H (or nN on the unit).
The slide show with sound starts from the selected album.
To cancel slide show with sound
Select AUDIO (MP3) or IMAGE (JPEG) in step 4.
Press V or v repeatedly to select (MODE (MP3, JPEG)), then press ENTER.
The options for MODE (MP3, JPEG) appear on the TV screen.

DATA CD

AUTO AUTO AUDIO (MP3) IMAGE (JPEG)
The default setting is underlined. AUTO: play back both JPEG image files and MP3 audio tracks in the same album as a slide show with sound. AUDIO (MP3): play back MP3 audio tracks continuously. IMAGE (JPEG): play back JPEG image files as a slide show.
Press V or v repeatedly to select AUTO, then press ENTER. Press MENU.
In some cases, you cannot change the MODE (MP3, JPEG) setting when MODE (MP3, JPEG) has been set to IMAGE (JPEG) and the selected disc only contains MP3 audio tracks. AUDIO (MP3) and the selected disc only contains JPEG image files. You cannot play back JPEG image files and MP3 audio tracks at the same time if they are not contained in the same album. When the playback duration of the JPEG image files is longer than the MP3 audio tracks, the slide show continues without sound. When the playback duration of the MP3 audio tracks is longer than the JPEG image files, the MP3 audio tracks are played back without the slide show. If there are no MP3 audio tracks in the DATA CD or DATA DVD and MODE (MP3, JPEG) is set to AUDIO (MP3), No audio data appears on the TV screen and the disc cannot be played back. If there are no JPEG image files in the DATA CD or DATA DVD and MODE (MP3, JPEG) is set to IMAGE (JPEG), No image data appears on the TV screen and the disc cannot be played back. The PICTURE NAVI button does not work when MODE (MP3, JPEG) is set to AUDIO (MP3). If you play back a large data size of MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files at the same time, the sound may skip. It is recommended that you reduce the data size by creating the MP3 audio tracks with a bit rate of 128 kpbs or lower. If the skipping sound still occurs, reduce the data size of JPEG image files by creating the JPEG image files in smaller size or lower resolution.

You can also change the slide show speed (page 30) and effect (page 30) while playing JPEG image files. If you want to play back a slide show to the same audio track, set the track to Repeat Play (page 22).
Some JPEG image files (especially progressive JPEG image files or JPEG image files with 3,000,000 pixels or more) may take a longer time to display than others, which may make the duration seems longer that the option you selected.

Region Code

This system is used to protect copyrights. A region code is allocated on each DVD system or DVD VIDEO according to the sales region. Each region code is shown on the unit as well as on the disc packaging. The system can play back the discs that match its region code. The system can also play back discs with the mark. Even when the region code is not shown on the DVD VIDEO, the region limit may still be activated.
A compact disc that contains moving pictures. The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the worldwide standards for digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures. VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data. Sound outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional AUDIO CDs. There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs. Version 1.1: You can play back only moving pictures and sounds. Version 2.0: You can play back highresolution still pictures and enjoy PBC functions. This system conforms to both versions.
On a VIDEO CD with PBC functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called scenes. Each scene is assigned a scene number enabling you to locate the scene you want.
The longest section of a picture or a music piece on a DVD VIDEO; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a music piece on audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.
