If you have recorded a JPEG, MP3, or WMA disc yourself, check that your disc contains at least ten JPEG picture files or five MP3/WMA music tracks. Check the region code (see Region codes on page 3). For MP3/WMA, check that the sampling rate and bit rate are compatible. For JPEG, check that the resolution is compatible (see Specifications on page 48). For WMA/WMV, check that the file is not protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management). For WMV, check that the file has been encoded by WMV9. For WMV, check that the file is not Advanced Profile. For WMV, check that the resolution of the file is 720 x 480/720 x 576 pixels or less.
