BASIC OPERATION SUPPORTED DISC TYPES SUPPORTED DISC TYPES You can enjoy movie or music discs with the DVD receiver. Since some DVD receiver disc operations are limited to specific disc types, the supported disc types are indicated using the icons shown below. Each icon means that the operation is limited to the corresponding disc type. For information on supported disc standards and disc usage notes, refer to "Disc Information" (page 47) and "Handling a disc" (page 48). Operations with no icon indicated are available for all disc types. DVD video DVD-V Video CD VCD Music CD CD About MP3, WMA, DivX® and JPEG discs You can play MP3, WMA and DivX® files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW with similar uses as a music CD or a DVD. The DVD receiver regards folders in the disc as albums, and files as tracks (as shown below). Also you can play JPEG picture files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW. For details about how to play these files, refer to "ENJOYING MULTIMEDIA FILES ON DISCS" (page 32). Root Album (Folder) Track (File) What is MP3? "MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3)" is a standard technology and format for compressing an audio sequence into a small-sized file. However it preserves the original level of sound quality when it is played. Notes • Depending on recording conditions such as recording software settings, the DVD receiver may not be able to play the disc or play tracks in the order they were recorded. • The DVD receiver is compatible with a bit rate range of 32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps and variable bit encoded MP3 files. • The DVD receiver is compatible with a sampling frequency of 16, 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz. What is WMA? "WMA (Windows Media Audio)" is a Microsoft file format for encoding digital audio files similar to MP3 though can compress files at a higher rate than MP3. What is JPEG? "JPEG" is a compression format for still images. With only a slight drop in image quality (part of the data is removed), still image data can be compressed to approximately 1/10 to 1/100 of its original size. Note This unit does not support the progressive JPEG format. What is DivX®? "DivX®" is a video compression technology developed by DivX® Networks, Inc. It compresses digital video data to sizes small enough to be transported over the Internet without reducing the original video quality. You need DivX® codec software to play back DivX® movies or convert data to the DivX® format. English 21
