About MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files

What is MP3/JPEG?

MP3 is an audio compression technology that satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is an image compression technology.
Discs that the system can play back
For details on DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/ CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/ DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs) that the system can play back, see Notes on discs (page 6) and Notes on Multi Session disc (page 8).
Album MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files
MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files that the system can play back
The system can play back MP3 audio tracks which have the extension.MP3 and JPEG image files which have the extension.JPG or.JPEG.
When you insert a DATA CD or DATA DVD and press H (or nN on the unit), the tracks (or files) are played back sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums or sub-files in the selected album take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: C contains D so 4 is played back before 5.) When you press MENU and the list of album names appears (page 27), the album names are arranged in the following 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.
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.
