WHY ON WHY Example of mp3 files. Example of JPEG files. Playing mp3,WMA, or JPEG files Your DVD recorder can play unprotected mp3 files, JPEG files, and unprotected WMA files. mp3 is an audio file format which compresses recorded music. It was developed by Fraunhofer Gesellschaft in collaboration with Thomson Inc.The main advantage of the mp3 format is the ability to store CD-quality music tracks that are user-friendly and compressed on a personal computer. mp3 (MPEG-3, which stands for Motion Picture Experts Group-Layer 3, meaning the third layer of information) is a format used to compress digital audio. Since the audio is compressed, it takes up less space. Note: You can only play true mp3 files in the DVD recorder-some products use software to compress mp3 files and convert them to other formats such as MPX. Your DVD recorder won't recognize or play MPX files or other types of converted mp3 files. WMA (Windows Media Audio) is another audio file format developed by Microsoft. JPEG files are image files. Make sure that they have a resolution of less than 5 megapixels (approximately 2MB). Note: The time taken for the contents of the disc to be displayed varies according to the size and number of JPEG files actually on the disc. If nothing is displayed after a few minutes, it is likely that certain files are too large. In this case, reduce the files' resolution to less than 5 megapixels (approximately 2MB) and write another disc. Creating an mp3 Disc on Your Computer Your DVD recorder handles MPEG-1, layer 3 audio. If you encode your own mp3 files from an audio CD, avoid using the features of MPEG-2, such as the 22kHz sampling frequency. Be sure to make a data CD rather than an audio CD. If you make an audio CD, you will lose the extra features and compression of the mp3 format. Notes: Some transport modes (reverse and fast forward) are not available for mp3 CDs. When burning multisession CDs, make sure you close the last session. 1. Place the disc in the disc tray with the printed side facing up. 2. If the AutoPlay option in the Disc Options menu is enabled (see page 51), the disc's contents are displayed, otherwise press the PLAY button to display them. 3.

If you chose Standard Play, playback will stop after all of the files in the current folder (and its subfolders) have played. Notes: While listening you can use the or button to go back to the previous track or go to the next one, and press the MENU button to display the disc's contents. Some file names are too long to be completely displayed. • JPEG file: the player starts the slide show with the JPEG file you have selected in the thumbnail screen and proceeds to display all the JPEG files in the same folder, then all the JPEG files in the subfolders located in the same folder. Note: During the slide show you can use the arrow buttons to rotate the picture 90°, the ZOOM button to magnify the picture, the or buttons to go back to the previous picture or go on to the next one, the FORWARD and REVERSE buttons to change the speed of the slide show (the speed selection varies depending upon the size of the JPEG files), and the MENU button to interrupt the slide show and display the disc's contents. You can also press the INFO button to bring up the JPEG Info Display (see below). 5. When the player has played all the files, the disc's contents appear. 6. Press STOP to end playback.
